YAY! *dances* Will check my emial often then! Thanks GOG! I love you guys... in a brotherly kind of way. :)
My guess: Activision Blizzard, starting off with Arcanum, of Steamworks and magic obscura and I guess we'll see more of Sierra's catalog and less of Blizzard's since they have their own store.
The only clue I'm still wondering about is the messenger one. I haven't played Arcanum (double yay because now I will!) and if nothing in the game fits that last messenger/soldier clue (I'm not checking Wikipedia in order not to spoil the game), then we may be getting two games instead of one.
T.R.O.I.K.A. + Ohio + karmic awareness: Arcanum
Two characters complementing each other beautifully: Could be "Activision" and "Blizzard", something in Arcanum's plot or something in another game.
Messenger preceding a soldier: Something in Arcanum's plot or something in another game.
Now, has anyone who have played Arcanum can make any sense in those last two clues? If not, then we're still short of guessing a second game. :)
By the way, I'd like to congratulate you guys. This thread has been fun! i think the "secret place" thing was the clue that clinched it (props to whoever guessed it). If it had been left at just Ohio, I don't know how long it would have been before someone noticed there was a town called Arcanum there.
Congrats also for getting Activision on board! I don't think anyone else has access to so many old gems (some of EA's catalog is already on Steam) and I figure you'll have a field day (field months!) of resurrections ahead of you.
