    [​IMG] It's supposed to be the next project (plannings phase) of BlackIsle.

    What do you think it is?

    I am so hoping for Fallout III, now that would be a game I will be following every second.

    Yeah,
    Fallout 3 would be a winner...

    But I kinda hope for a new Forgotten Realms game with 3rd edition D&D... And as pretty as IWD2...

    Info somewhere on the net:
    "Besides Jefferson, there are two other unannounced projects: Jackson (lead designer: Dave Maldonado; Jackson is in some way related to Jefferson), and Van Buren (lead designer: Chris Avellone; possibly Fallout 3). "

    When was this info on Van Buren?

    There were no Fallout 3 plans or anything till the end of last year - OFFICIALY confirmed by every single person who means anything at Black Isle. However, if this info on a new project appeared recently, only in that case you may speculate on FO3.

    And my speculation goes to: Torment2.

    Well nothing was officially confirmed, only that they are working on two projects, and they are just in the planning phase.

    Did avellone work on Torment 1?

    No. A year or so ago Urquhart said he would like to do another Planescape-set game, but that was it. Not a peep on anything regarding Planescape or Torment in any way since then.

    Avellone was PST lead designer.

    I'll just quote the part with Urquhart (BIS CEO):
