We'll see new stuff at E3 for sure. It's hard to believe that this game was announced four years ago, and we haven't really seen it yet. Sure, we saw a build at what, E3 2k5? I'm sure the game looks nothing like that anymore...

I can't wait. I wish this game was coming out this year. I mean, it was announced four years ago, after all.. so.. get it out! Oh well.. 2009 :/

Here is loads of great info on what we know so far:

I would quote it all, but there's too much there. Go, read!

A screenshot from way back in the day:



And then there are others, showing a top down, BG/NWN sort of perspective as well. I wonder if we'll be given the option to play from different perspectives. Regardless, I can't wait to see what a massive upgrade this game has seen in the last three years.

And regardless, it's going to be fuck'n EPIC!

Check my link to the Bioware forum. Someone was nice enough to compile what we know so far into list form, but the content is way too long to just copy and paste over here.

This is going to be the next big RPG :) (Hopefully)

Well not much good RPGs been out anyway, one i remeber is The Witcher.

Heres other picture:



Some more here:

I think its great, as we can see in the picture you posted and this one the camera styles. Isometric when to fight, and 3rd person view when exploring.

And hopefully we can change it whenever we want. The witcher is great, gives us option to use wich camera we want.

Cant wait for the news!

I think it will, but it's pretty certain that it won't ship in 2008. 2009 seems like a sure thing though, and, well.. you can't say as much for D3.

I remember hearing about this game years ago... I think around the time NWN2 was announced. Bioware has yet to let me down, and I doubt this will be an exception :)

Bioware is much like Blizzard, perfect track record. And much like blizzard, games take ages before they come out.
Gives you an idea why almost all games done in 1-2 years are utter crap.

Yeah, dragon age looks 2009, while D3 looks 2010-11, SC2 looks end 2009.

LOL, no.

It's more like a modern Baldur's Gate, without D&D.. which is wonderful, since it gives them a chance to make up their own lore. I love Elder Scrolls, but no, this is totally not a TES "clone."

Heheh you know where Bioware is located? :P

I hope this is good. No no no I hope this is the best thing ever.

Those were good times when Bioware and Black isle studios made RPG. Best RPG ever made are from that era.

Now there is not that many great RPG's anymore :/
