I used this board when i was playing Wizards and Warriors and i found it to be one of the best, not only for info but for the people. Everyone is so helpful and nice. I wish i woudl have used this more while i played Baldurs Gate II Throne but i didnt need help much help thank God. Im going to miss BALDURS GATE ALOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Please tell me the company is thinking of making more from the series or at aleast the same type!!!!!!!!!????????I grow so close to my character i hate to start over or never see Bioware make another like it.

Neverwinter Nights, due out early next year. It will be using the Aurora engine, not the infinity engine (which Baldurs Gate uses). Welcome to the board.

Willy Wonka...
for however much it's worth, i think you should definitely go back and play the BG series again. chances are if you've played through it only once, there is a lot of stuff in the game that you still haven't encountered. you should make a completely new guy, and use all different NPC's from what you did before.
it's completely worth it.

I just might do that only because im dying with nothing to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I could also take a different bunch of guys with me to finish game. Whats the difference in engines?

You're doubtless familiar with the Infinity Engine, which uses two dimensional sprites and backgrounds with a few three dimensional effects a la Baldur's Gate, right? Well, the Aurora engine is entirely 3D. Not sure if you've ever played Vampire: The Masquerade, but it is similar to that. However, it looks like they are doing some very interesting things, specifically with lighting effects and draw-distances. So I guess the main difference in engines is that Aurora looks a lot prettier. Obviously, the switch from 2D to 3D will necessitate some game play alterations too. There's a whole bucket load of images here, for your viewing pleasure. As you can see, it looks very pretty indeed. How the actual game mechanic will operate remains to be seen...

EDIT: If you want to discuss more, we have our very own Neverwinter Nights Forum. However, methinks it's gonna be a little dead in there until the game itself is released.

I'm pretty sure I read on ign that there would be one last game using the infinity engine.. anyone else heard what this is going to be, or any info? Probably Icewind Dale 2 or something. I sure hope it is Planescape Torment 2 though.

Unconfirmed rumor is that it will be IWD 2.
