Well this news is not very welcome. Figures- they have a good thing and let it go. Who knows, maybe we'll like the new stuff as much, stranger things have happened.

Thanks for keeping us up to date Memnoch. I'm gutted, but it's best to know on which side the bread's buttered I suppose. I was so hoping for a BG3...Oh well.

Gutted from London.

DAMMIT!!!

Thanks Memnoch anyway, I sure hope NWN and the other games can make one as happy as BG has! sniff

Now, to ensure that this never happens again I've summoned a few 'helpers' who are to 'persuade' the developers to change their minds...

and his little brother

There, that should do the trick!

To be honest, I think it's a good thing. How much more can they do with the series anyway? Yeah, yeah, there could be a lot, but you finish BG2 with a 17th lvl Mage. Any more levels, and you'll have access to all the available spells. There really aren't too many more powerful magic items on the caliber of Staff of the Magi, Crom Faeyr, and Holy Avenger.

A beholder, mind flayer, or vampire you can smack around with one fighter. That dragon at the end of the BG2 was a joke! To make the game at least somewhat interesting, the developers have to pitch at you constantly with liches, dragons, demons, celestials, and high level mages to provide at least some challenge. If they do, it'll just be another dull hack and slash on par with Diablo 2.

It's a good idea that they're going to start from scratch with a new storyline.

At last we can hope that the expansion will be very big and will include some new cooler features, such as new monster and better weapons (where's my bastard sword +4?).

As for constantly battle liches and dragons, that is certaintly fun, but the main reason that I like BG2 and BG over IWD is because you get to battle other parties of enemies with fighters, archers, mages and clerics, and that requieres MORE strategy than simply fighitng horde after horde of mindless monsters. Sure, fighting monsters is FUN, but you don't always want to be battling mindless monsters.
