I give it mid to late October. This is also what Chuck recently said on the official site news updates (except he stated early October).

Thanks Mr. Sleep and nevermind the reply to the PM I just sent you as I just read this thread after I replied back.

Hey GB folks, what happened to Flagg. One day he was expecting a copy of PoR2, visiting the message boards every few days, and a good contributor to the community. Then he just up and vanished. What gives?

What can I say. After as much work as we just put into getting this done within a 2 week period I had spread the word. I would like to hear your comments though especially since someone voted that the site sucked

Today we relaunched our PoR2 website with a ton of shtuff for you to enjoy. Here's all we have for today with more to follow http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/smile.gif

-My in-depth look at PoR2

-23 brand spankin new screenshots

-An interview with former producer Jon Kromrey

-An online character ...

I'd agree that they were achieved in BG but only one was achieved in BGII and that was game balance.

The game is a lot of fun. I actually enjoy it more than BGII but equally as BG. If you read into that as I like BG better than BGII then you are correct. BG was the better of the two regardless of all the newer features in BGII. Included features don't always make a game, they can only add to it and ...

Well then if you liked FFT way of doing things then PoR2 will be somewhat similar to you.

Aye, it was a very well done game (one of the best in a long time though I didn't like it better than BG I) I just hated the combat system! I mean, I really hate the combat system. Moreso in BGII than BGI as combat seemed to flow even faster in BGII than it's predecessor.

Regretably, no. Something we had to suffer with in BG (the RT game I believe you were referring to) and now face the same in PoR2 http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/frown.gif

Of note though. Since you obviously liked the original PoR as with the other Gold Box games the turn-based combat used in PoR ...

Just the facts:

Standing on tables for height advantage is gone http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/frown.gif

Moving furniture to bar doorways / advancing foes is gone http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/frown.gif

No jumping on creatures backs or rogues climbing anything.

As for being creative..... you ...

Elf Sorcerer / Fighter
Human Monk / Rogue
Half-Orc Barbarian / Cleric
Elf Ranger (may dual to a Paladin only if I can think of an actual class of person this would represent. Like the Half-Orc Barbarian / Cleric would be a Shaman.. the Elf Sorcerer / Fighter would be a Bladeslinger, etc).

Interests: Damn near everything about the game http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Why a hit: As much as people liked IWD they will find PoR2 just as entertaining providing they can come to grips with the turn-based combat as opposed to the pausable real time of the infinity engine.

What ...

Just wanted to touch on a few of the posts here.

Drakron: What SSI games have you played to say all the games they made are below average? I'd have to say the story in Curse of the Azure bonds alone was far greater than BGII and a good tie with BG.

The Elminster voice: How could he be jolly when a ...
