You are pretty uninformed here Thrasher.

Try looking at some of Desslock's articles recently on RPG sales.  BG1 went
over a million units well before D2 was released.

Nothing?  How about the car?  How about the significantly enhanced NPC
interface?

I live in Seattle.  FO2/FO1 is $20.

Neverwinter nights doesn't use the infinity engine.  Get a clue.  FO3 will
not use it either.  Interplay has already stated that the infinity engine is
dead as of BG2.


I don't disagree that Interplay never promoted the Fallout series as much as
BG, but that shouldn't be a suprise.  After all, who would think to make a
post-apoc RPG AFTER the end of the cold war.  Fallout was probably a "labor
of love" kind of thing that they did as a tribute to Wasteland.  I doubt
they expected much sales wise from it.
