To the developers, I gues they read through here once in a while. Have you tried getting M.Weis&T.Hickman as an author? Or Salvatore? Or one of the other great forgotten realms autors?
The old playeble npc need more dialouge as they sayed to little in bg1 and had to little story around them. It was amasing for a game in 1998, but now we expect more.
I remeber reading an interview whit, I belive it was Weis, that sayed in a couple of years you will be able to play fanasy books on your computer, this was in 1997 or 98, I would belive she would jump on an opurtunity like this ;-) Or even better, get B.Sandors to write!
The story is great, I like this more mandane story line where they way untill the end whit making us save the hole bloody world, but the char. need more back story. And personality. God, you can make this an great game if you doesnt rush it, get some autors witch know forgotten realms and take this game to new heights!

Internets are wonderful places, aren't they.
I couldn't find a B. Sandors who writes fantasy. There's a B. Sandor who's a therapist, and one who's a musician, and one who does work for an HIV awareness organization. Which did you mean?
I don't mean to be rude, but talking about any book while seriously raping the English language (by "raping" I mean being unable to write a single sentence without making a mistake) seems like a hell of a perversion.
I strongly recommend using a spell-checker, out of the respect for any future readers.
But it is nothing wrong whit my reading skills, I have read alot on enlish as it is the language most writer use.
Did you intend to be funny with this bit about being fluent in Norwegian, Danish and Swedish?
"speakers of the three largest Scandinavian languages (Danish, Norwegian and Swedish) can read each others' languages without great difficulty. This holds especially true of Danish and Norwegian"
"In general, Danes and Norwegians will fluently understand the other language with only a little training." and so on
I guess you're a true polyglot :-) Ah, it's a pity Icelandic has changed little since the Medieval times and it's still very similar to Old Norse rather than modern Scandinavian languages. Otherwise, you could say you're fluent in Icelandic too, how cool is that?
And you're excused for being lazy! Forgive me! Never mind my advice to use a spell-checker!
@scriver - I clarified the term "rape" so that my Scandinavian friend wouldn't think I was referring to 50cent & co, the difference in spelling is minute.
So you have an point when claiming that scandianavian speaks the same language, but you are actually alittle wrong... :-) I also manage to make me understood talking german and french, but thouse i have big trouble getting the grammar and pronounce but I get by. How many language do you "master"? ;-p
And i have almost never written in english, only read, making it hard for me to pick up on the right way to spell words or form sentence in my head, as i think on norwegian and translate. Completely difrent grammar making it hard to form sentence. We also have 7 ways of writing : run/ran/ran . But I actually has a big vocabulary, if I can remeber that i know the word.
But as I was made aware, they have captured an very decent writer :-)
Peace

I don't mean to be rude, but isn't the underlying purpose of human communication the ability to successfully convey thoughts and ideas? I completely understood what FillaFillason was writing, therefore language had served its purpose. I would see no urgent need to chastise him (or her) other than perhaps from agitated boredom.
Besides, we're polyglots as well aren't we? I'm dun shoore we kin spaek a right gud amoont of Scottish dinnay ye think? An' kiss me blarney, Im'ma fair bit cert'n dat we havva thourah grasp ah Irish, unlike sammather puir wee souls about. AND AVAST YE SCURVY BARNACLE'D SCALLYWAGS, BY POSEID'NS THICK SKULL WE DEFINALLY SPEAK PIRATE IF'N WE PLEASE.
I just did both an American History X and a Shawshank Redemption on the English language but I'm fairly certain you understood me. No need for bellyaching is there?
Wasn´t the topic´s title ?

His more recent work is in the Pathfinder setting.
For something set in the Realms, try Black Wolf (or perhaps begin with The Halls of Stormweather). For something more recent, perhaps Prince of Wolves or Master of Devils.
I will try the sembia series then. Thank you
All I will say then is if R.A. Salvatore ever writes for a BG game and does to Solaufein what he did to Drizzt, I'm going to have an apoplectic aneurysm.
Salvatore wrote the game Demonstone which, though very different from Baldur's Gate, is a fun little third person railroad. In one section you get to be Drizzt, and that makes it worth the price of admission.
Not to derail this anymore, but I grew up in the Norwegian triangle area of Wisconsin, and it wasn't until this thread that I realized was subconsciously correcting Filla's writing because stylistically, it was so similar to the dialect of many of the people I grew up around, including my grandparents.
But enough about that guy! We got Dave Gross and I am sure he'll do a great job. I've noticed it as soon as I read his announcement quote if you wish to call it that
The world isn't as big it seems. My grandmothers father traveled to Wisconsin to work a couple of years. Bought an farm whith the money he earned on chopping wood. The one im living in now actually. Your grandparents wouldn't by any chance know the name Egeland from Lillesand area in south Norway? If i don't remeber wrong, his brother stayed behind in Wisconsin working as an priest if I remeber correctly.
@SkinnyD
Salvatore is doing an great job whit Drizzt imo. I like the way the person. flaws are comming to surface. Who are Solaufein?
Edit: I just remebered, not very good whit names,hehe
I'll send you a private message about family stuff so as not to clutter up the thread.
