Tychoxi: yeah, I know. But here they'll have full creative control, unlike with their previous games. This time they'll have one of the main writers of Torment and one of the main writers of the Planescape setting. Though I can feel what you are sayiong, it's better to keep a healthy dose of skepticism than be utterly dissapointed. But I dunno, I've been following Wasteland 2 and they seem to "get" what it is it should be, so it's hard for me to remain skeptic!
Sounds like the Tabula Rasa model to me. Get a well-known name in the industry who hasn't done much lately, put him "in charge" of a studio noone's heard of..???.....???....Profit.
