I’m betting Obsidian as the developer – Atari seem to love them and they’re the Bioware-sequel guys anyway. KOTOR 2 / NWN 2 after all…

Also, please, please bring back Planescape Torment…! Best fantasy world ever!

Oh please make it more like BG1 and 2. Please. Don’t consolise it like I’ve seen several RPG’s these days.

Hmmm, there is a strange legal issue with that. Interplay (bless ‘em) own the right to the Baldur’s Gate IP, to the extent that they can make Baldur’s Gate D&D games without actually having the D&D licence. Hence why those slashers on the PS2 had the BG logo slapped on them even after WOTC made the deal with Atari. When Interplay went down they were developing BG3, or at least, pre-prodcution of the title was going down at Black Isle alongside Fallout 3.

Further investigation appears that Interplay and Atari play along, so I guess it could happen. I think PST is in Limbo though.

Just so long as “Minsk and Boo stand ready!!! *squeaaaak*”, I’ll be pleased.

Actually that’s a lie, I want more.
