nwn2 would have been such a better game had it been better paced. it has great moments once you get to act 2 but you have to slog through act 1 to get there.
And I love the trial too. So many things in computer games is "fight your way through it." While the outcome is always the same, it's quite satisfying to put that high Diplomacy skill to work convincing everyone of the common sense of the situation.
I would not mind at all another Infinity game, but another engine may be fine too...
For this kind of game I really prefer the 2d and beautiful art work than 3d of more recent games.
One thing that can be improved from BG's games is to get more options for an evil party. In BG you can play an evil party, but basically most quests are designed for good characters.

You evil players get some of the best party members, isn't that enough?

What are you talking about?! You had to fight in the trial no matter what. High diplomacy was crap.

Well, they couldn't gimp all the stupid characters from being able to progress. Besides the sheer joy of absolutely dumbfounding Torio more than makes up for it. Barsd can do it in song
I played with the good party and was willing to play the game differently, but really not many things that give you XP for being evil.
Evil does not mean that you go around killing women and children, means that you seek your own power, or gold, or both.
Is that evil or just selfish though? Evil to me seems to require some bigger motivation to destroy or hurt others with no justification or need to do it even when they get what they wanted.

A good could argument could be that evil is nothing more than unchecked selfishness. A lot of evil acts can be boiled down to "I need this so I'm taking it", "This makes me feel good, so I'm doing it". You don't necessarily want to do evil, you just need to do what you wish while disregarding the consequences for others.
Thanks to @Dee, we now know the name of the next beamdog game: WTFIWWMI: Enhanced Edition
@TrentOster we have to tell you this isn't a forum, we're sorry we fooled you, but it's actually a massive support group. We've assembled all these forumites together under your nose to tell you you have a problem. Yes, those cameras are for the TV show Intervention. Trent...you have a domain name hoarding problem. We're all very concerned, and we love you. Seek help, we're here for you.
I have a problem, I'm aware, but I'm enjoying it, so I'm just going to roll with it. I have a limit that I can only renew 1/3 of the domains and I try to keep it under 10 a month ;-)
Therapist Who Looks Like He Was Hired By The Show At A Talent Agency: "Trent, you're among friends...keeping it below 10 isn't going to stop @Shandyr here from crying or @Anduin from rocking back and forth in the corner...this tiny room packed full of every member of the forum needs to know you can commit to rehab."
The Mods: *all look into the cameras like they're on The Office*
Well, as long as Amber Scott doesn't come back to the team and has absolutely nothing to do with the next project (IWD 2 would be nice, but so would a completely new adventure in the infinity engine) then it should be well worth the money.
I will actually be a bit disappointed if the new game is not a new game, but an EE.
You have proven yourself already. Time to leave the nest and fly on your own wings. I mean, I guess SoD kind of was. But then again, kind of not. So...
Unless, of course, Arcanum EE is in the works. Then I wish you finish Arcanum EE before you do anything else.
