Probably zero, since it came out so long ago.

I'd say, with genuine regret, that the chance approaches 0. NG was a great, original game: it was a huge, refreshing change from the graphics, engine, and plot of his previous ones.

Which is why he'll never do anything like it ever again.

Blades of Nethergate would just be Blades of Avernum.

The Nethergate engine at least feels significantly different than the Avernum engine.

I much preferred Nethergate. It's the last SW game I actually liked.

I could never get into the Nethergate or Avernum engines... maybe it was the character pictures, they gave me too much of a description of what my character looked like, leaving no imagination... Or I could just be stupid

So are you saying that you prefer reading dialog to looking at pictures? Or are you saying that the pictures should have been less descriptive? Or both?

It's not as if Exile gave us a good description of our characters. Nethergate is basically a less advanced version of the Avernum engine. Any sort of BoN would be a huge waste of time. I could see a Nethergate BoA scenario maybe...

I don't think theres any chance of a N2 or BoN at all.I agree with Oracle in thinking that it might be a good idea to make a N2 BoA scenario.

First off -- thanks to all for replying.....

and now ---- I'll go sit in a corner and wait for BOA to come out in about 8-10 months (hey! I'm on a M$ pc) -- windows --- and you know how that sucks IMAGE(Spiderweb Software Boards What are the chances of___files/biggrin.gif)

ps. anyone noticed the new 'preview post' small window that pops up -- was once some time ago it was a whole screen page that was displayed.

Bye for now --- James IMAGE(Spiderweb Software Boards What are the chances of___files/tongue.gif)

I don't think there will be an N2 unless Jeff runs out of other ideas... although I liked Nethergate as well. And yes, a Nethergate BoA scenario would be cool... but would there be enough graphics? Nethergate isn't Nethergate without the Romans and Celts...

You could just use the graphics in the Nethergate data file.

And anyone with an IQ of 135 or higher, plenty of graphix Exp can make their own, photoshop(or a bunch of cheap apps that together can do a nice amount of what photoshop can), a demonic cat, too much free time, a decent 3D app(not sure why it'd be needed, but could be useful) and a powerful computer.

Well, guess that means no custom BoA graphix from me.

You know, I think you're overestimating the workload involved. Okay, a good graphic program (as in Photoshop or else IMAGE(Spiderweb Software Boards What are the chances of___files/tongue.gif) ) will help a lot, but you can do it without any 3d, and usually in 1-2 hours if you've got nothing else to do.

Powerful computer? For heaven's sake, it's 256 colors on a 50*60 (or less) rectangle. IMAGE(Spiderweb Software Boards What are the chances of___files/biggrin.gif)

I'm sure someone will. Hopefully someone who knows what they're doing. I didn't realize you could import your own graphics.
