I know the dark alliance games are just hack n slashers that really don't have anything to do with D&D other than basic plot and setting etc, but i would LOVE a new one. I played both DA games with my girlfriend when they came out, and as a matter of fact am at the end of DA1 with my brother right now. The games hold up as some of the best action rpg / diablo clones ever. Especially DA1, the combat just feels great, the graphics hold up today (playing on xbox 360) and it beats the heck out of torchlight, sacred, and other recent hackers In my opinion. That's reason enough to pray for a sequel.

I'll sign the stupid petition.

By the way, is BG: DA Compilation really coming out? I havn't heard anything and I'd buy that in an instant.

Chris Taylor of Interplay has said that if Atari struck a deal with them, he and the Interplay team would immediatly get started on the BG: DA Compilation. But since Atari's real stupid and way more under debt than Interplay is right now, although not as much as Interplay was, its not coming out. But if the petition succeeds up to as many signitures as we hope then the compilation would come up way quicker than the sequel.

Oh and Roz, please make your friends sign the petition as well. I know it might not do anything, Interplay is on their knees (literally) and begging to make DA3 and the DA Compilation, but Atari will not let them. One company is willing, the other company knows nothing. So we just have to make Atari aware of what is happening.

You're aware that we'll get annother "Dark Alliance" very soon?

 

You're also aware that the FR timeline recently did a 100 year time-jump? Even if the story of BG wasn't pretty much concluded after throne of Bhaal, almost all human characters are dead by now anyway.

Daggerdale is nothing like Dark Alliance. Its basic gameplay is that of Dark Alliance, but other than that: its a completely different game.

Nobodies talking about Bhaal.

Hundred year gap. Doesn't matter, in DA2 you played as different characters and only a few three main characters returned and two had different voice actors.

Besides, for all we know: The god at the end's war that he's planning against BG could take 200 years to prepare.

EDIT:

The God was from Mulhourand and we all know how that turned out. But the god could have left Mulhourand and not known of its destruction. And just because its based off of the Fourth Edition Rules doesn't mean it has to be in the same timeline, I mean some people would just appreciate a re-release of both games.

I'd rather have a really good tactics style game with a neverwinter nights feel. So people could make their own expansions and stuff, and DM and stuff...

Ugh hated NWN. It is the reason I didn't buy any bioware games for close to a decade. I just stopped caring about what was happening in the game during chapter....3? Whichever one it was that you fight Yuan-ti(or some other form of snakemen) as part of some sidequest. Personally I prefer BG style modding etc for player created content.
