Re: Promising RPGs that are due soon
You know, come to think of it, a great number of the great RPGs that have been made in the past decade have been based on DnD is some part (Baldurs Gate, Planescape Torment, NWN, NWN2, Kotor, ect...) Now, given the sad state of DnD 4th edition, I don't know how receptive I will be to future games of that type that will end up using 4th. I would much prefer ADnD

Re: Promising RPGs that are due soon
Well, Dragon Age at least will have its own non-DnD fantasy world and rules system, so that's something different. I hope it's different enough to be interesting, and not just a slight tweak to avoid paying DnD royalty fees. One reason I like the Witcher is the way it has its own distinct flavor of fantasy world. It borrows heavily from the classic genres (they all do), but it had a different enough twist to be interesting.
It would also be nice to see more sci-fi themed RPG's that aren't just shooters wrapped inside a lightweight RPG framework like Mass Effect, or Bioshock. I'm not sure if the upcoming Fallout 3 qualifies. I didn't play the earlier games in the series.
