Oh dear oh dear.
If what this article [url="http://biz.yahoo.com/rf/010824/n24221124_2.html"]http://biz.yahoo.com/rf/010824/n24221124_2.html[/url] says is true, how is Bioware going to find another publisher with AD & D license for NWN?

Well lets see what TITUS/Interplay says before we get to nerveous.
But I think that this is not the best time for Interplay to be in trouble, couldn't they have waited a couple of years

Sadly, it's been going like this for a while. (I personaly blame companies like Blizzard for ruinging the RPG genre, but thats a different matter.)

I second that Aegis. After Planescape Torment and the Baldur's Gate series, NWN is the next gift from the Gods to a languishing RPG world. It will be a crying shame if it doesn't materialise.

Oops sorry. What I mean to say is, I agree that Blizzard is turning the RPG genre upside down with Diablo, and that NWN is the next best thing to be coming out after Planescape and BG series.

Blizzard makes some kick a$$ good games and have done so for as long as I can remember. of course other should have the chance to get in theres as well and I am pretty sure that they will.

All I can say is that I hope that NWN does not end up on the vaporware pages. I really want this game to get developed and produced. We've all been waiting too long for it!!!

I really hope Xandax and Mike are right and I'm wrong.
I don't mean to raise a false alarm on this board. I work in a bank; and from the little I do know, a high leverage without the necessary returns as in Interplay's case is usually a recipe for disaster.
Let's wish that it doesn't happen; at least not until NWN is released

NWN has already been a huge investment. The game would very nearly be shippable if the designers weren't bent on improving the quality any way they can. I don't see this project ending up in a corporate dustbin. Maybe fund cuts will significantly reduce the quality of the eventual release, but I can't imagine Bioware not putting this product up for sale after putting so much effort into it.
