[QUOTE="Majoru Oakheart, post: 6242693, member: 5143"] Actually, taking a quick look at release dates: The 3e PHB came out in August 2000 Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn September 24, 2000 Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter 2001 Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal June 21, 2001 Icewind Dale: Trials of the Luremaster September 7, 2001 Icewind Dale II August 27, 2002 IWD2 came out late enough that they sort of felt they had to apologize for having the wrong ruleset by doing that 2.5e thing with a bit of 3e mixed in. It was as if they had basically finished the game and someone told them to go back in and hack as much 3e as they could into the game as quickly as possible. The rest were likely in production long before 3e came out. Most of them were expansions anyways. Though BG2 technically came out after 3e. Since 2008 two expansions to NWN2 came out: Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir November 18, 2008 Neverwinter Nights 2: Mysteries of Westgate April 29, 2009 Since 4e has come out the only other games released were: Dungeons & Dragons: Daggerdale Heroes of Neverwinter Neverwinter They all technically claim to be 4e games. Though one is a facebook game and one is a MMO. They all use rules that are only superficially 4e, however. The abilities you use in all 3 games bear the names of 4e powers without working exactly the same as the 4e powers actually do. Though the races and classes are more in line with 4e than 3e. [/QUOTE]
