Cautiously optimistic, but I'll be curious to see how much AI slop they use to make this.

Community for CRPG games and other RPG gaming discussions. Witcher, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Baldurs Gate as well as indie RPGs (Underrail, Avernum, Space Wreck etc.). Focus is on CRPGs, but discussion around JPRGs, ARPGs and hybrid games with RPG components is also welcome.
Tabletop/pen & paper RPG discussion is not a good fit for this community. Check out !rpg@ttrpg.network for TT/P&P RPG discussions.
Memes are not banned, but the overwhelming focus is on discussions, releases and articles. Try and post memes (on an occasional basis) that would make people who don't like memes admit "OK! That was a good one!".

I can't imagine that the Infinity Engine is still kicking around, but I'm a huge fan of old school RPGs and KOTOR 1/2 are some my all time time favorite games. I can't wait!
Wait, hold on. Remember the Other games. Don't preorder. Do NOT preorder.
Lol, I promise I'm not that excited. I'm the proud owner of both RimWorld and Factorio and have plenty of games in my backlog, there's no real reason to pre-order games from studios that have a multi-billion dollar company backing them (a couple bucks gamble to an Indy dev on Kickstarter is a different story, but we're not talking about that right now).
Jason Schreier reporting that this game is coming from a brand new studio that only just formed, and he's not expecting this game to come out until 2030. Me? I think this game never comes out.
2030? Seems somewhat early to start promotional activities...
That being said, it seems the leadership of the studio has the relevant experience for a good RPG.
The reason I understand you'd do a promotion for a project this early, much like with Cyberpunk 2077 getting announced in like 2012, is to put up a giant "Help Wanted" sign to help you in putting the team together.
I hope they take cues from BG3.
I hope this doesn't suck. It's probably going to suck.
