Haha, I remember back in the days of Dragon Age: Origins, first thing I did when I've finsihed it, I fired up BG2 with some old save from fairly early on it the game - and I got butchered in seconds...I thought to myself - holly shit, is this how hard that game was, I do remember it being hard, but I was managing it quite well the first time, what happened in the meantime?

So glad PoE is what they promised it would be, a worthy spiritual successor to BG, PT and ID, though I'd still prefer if it was a true D&D setting and rules.


Origin was great imo but not the same as BG, Icewind Dale and the other classics. Heck; even Neverwinter Nights I would rate above Origins.

Yeah, they lost the rights to use D&D rules, I believe Wizards of the Coast have the official license to that. We could always hope for a coop between the two in the future; at least these guys proved that they can still make mindblowing games. And if early rumors are anything to go by; we finally have proof that games besides mindless blockbuster drivel can sell really well, I understand the reception has been crazy!

Oh, definitely, while Origin is decent game, it's nowhere near Infinity Engine Era games...or NwN, especially NwN2: MotB.

And I'm really hoping that in the future they'll be able to strike a deal for D&D - while I'm enjoying PoE immensely, at times I somehow feel bit odd playing it - visuals, story and gameplay are as good as classics, but system is different and unfamilliar...maybe I just need more time to get used to it, or maybe I just have D&D too much intertwined in my head with Bioware/Black Isle classics.
