JinseiNGC224: Oddly enough Sword Coast Legends is very similar to classic infinity engine games and it's due out later this year.
I have a strong feeling that the owners of D&D (Hasbro?) feel a bit jealous with games like Pillars of Eternity coming out, so they feel the need to harken back to the old days their own way. Watching a gameplay video it looks really good and polished, but official videos can be deceiving. I hope for the best, mainly because I love these games and settings, and I'm obsessed with the real time with pause system and I'm glad to see it's not abandoned.

https://swordcoast.com/about https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOiZGWeGxVI I joined the official sites forum thread and pledged my support for it to be DRM-free and on GOG, as Hasbro has a number of games here already. I don't think we could ever have enough epic RPG's.
It's a bit different though, as it has "DM" elements. I'm interested to see how that works out!
In the meantime I'll be soaked in PoE ;)
MMLN: Well, we might disagree on SCL. From what I have seen an read about the game, you will love it if you loved Dragon Age Origins or Dungeon Siege, and you will be very disappointed if you liked classic Infinity Engine games and NWN2.
At the moment, it looks for me, that I might get SCL if it hits GoG sale with price under 7.50 EUR
Seeing I greatly enjoy all those games and played them to death I have nothing to be disappointed about ;)
I'm very open minded and accepting of different game styles, engines, and everything else. As long as a game isn't bug ridden and is more or less finished, that's what matters. I'm also not picky about prices, because it will most likely NOT be only 7.50 EUR. I'd still buy it regardless here though.
