3e was a smash hit and spawned multiple versions. Even 5e is mostly based on 3e.
Thanks for proving my point. People like you are the reason why we can't have nice things (anymore).

Im just a big Baldurs Gate fan. :D

Although to be honest I don't think that I'm experienced enough to work with either of those teams. One day I would love to work on a big 2D RPG within a team of experienced designers, writers, and programmers - but I still have a LOT to learn!
Aww, so humble too... i could almost allow you to work on my great project but, you know... expenses are serious... so...

After you have completed Stasis, you will be one of the bigger guys Chris. And what is more important, you will then have completed your own project, even if it is not Torment. Perhaps you can make after Stasis a Pandorum the cRPG. ;)

Good call. Only i would rather throw in some villainous motive behind it. Like the double taking all the negative consequences for his bad moves and so on.

- its probably an evil clone Fargo made so Colin can just serve as a poster boy and a future scape goat, while the evil clone actually designs the game, and then the real Colin will get all the blame.

ALL THE PRESSURES! But thanks mate - you have no idea how much support like that actually means to me! It makes the red eyes, late nights, and (current crunch mode) bearable.
BTW I just did my first 'complete' playthrough of Stasis from beginning to end. Still bugs to fix...but its coming along pretty damned well.

I disapprove of something being mentioned in an analogy so I'm going to pretend the analogy means something other than what's obviously intended

I'm fully aware what the analogy meant, just found it funny to hear. It is a pity that on a galaxy far away I believed on that "POE is to Baldur's Gate 2" part on all its meanings.:negative:

Fargo looked at those review scores (from both game journalists and end-users), and how PoE sold almost as much as Wasteland 2 within a month and got dollar signs in his eyes.

:what:


because what is intended isnt true and the analogy is actually real, which makes it funny.
double time.

And people who had reasonable expectations still believe that and are happy with PoE. But of course it's better to expect the impossible and whine when it doesn't happen.

As for TToN - if it's as good as PoE, I'll maybe even forgive inXile for their decision to make it TB.

Since they're still mum about alpha, I just hope they'll release more gameplay footage in the nearby future.
