Frankly, it doesn't matter when the game shows up. No matter how soon it arrives, the wait for the "spiritual successor" to Baldur's Gate will feel like an eternity.

it does look generic considering all the fantasy titles out there, but then again i loved the old baldur gate and Diablo games. definitely something to watch.

It'd be nice for sanity's sake to have a release date on this, since Diablo III is playing the "We want you to rock back and forth on your couch for the next 8-10 months" game.

Without any multiplayer at all I'm not sure if I'll bother. I mean this game just screams for at least co-op.

Yeah, that's what Baldur's Gate and Planescape: Torment really needed. Multiplayer. (rolling eyes)

I was able to see a preview of this game at GenCon this year and it looks pretty nice so far. I think it will deliver on the "successor" to Baldur's Gate description. I just hope the console version comes out sooner than later.
The thing I think that it really brings to the table is a hybrid of the 3rd person over the shoulder RPG game (similar to how fable is played) and the 3/4 top down tactical RPG element where you can control multiple characters. From what I saw you can you can zoom out and detach the camera from your character and almost play the game as if it were baldur's gate if you like. That seemed pretty cool.
