Arcanum 2! Made by members of Troika hired by Black Isle, working together to make a brilliant and amazing First Person RPG. It'll be Arcanum, but many years in the future, but because of the nature of the Arcanum universe, there will be Human areas that will look somewhat close to ours today, but with some areas using magic, the dwarven areas will be chock full of what we'd consider futuristic technology, and the more elven areas will have no technology, but they will be made very modern through use of much magic. And by now, the split between magic and technology will be even more defined, and there will be an underground world within the human mostly technological society where they study magic, and they will offer your quests for the main storyline, on creating items that somehow use both magic and technology (kinda like Arcanum 1, where you had to mix tech and magic to make it even stronger, because of the way that magic and technology normally oppose eachother), to attain some goal.. But it'll have the openness and brilliant seamlessness between RPG and FPS that Bloodlines had, but it will have the huge variable and openness and deep story and even deeper side stories that Arcanum had.. And and and and.. It's gonna happen! I know it!!
Edit.. It'll be so cool, too, 'cause it'll be like Arcanum where you can fast-travel to areas, or better yet have teleportation, depending on your character.. And you'll be able to move back and forth between these hugely different types of societies.. And all these areas will be connected, not like Bloodlines where you go to a different 'zone' to be somewhere else, but more like Elder Scrolls where you'll usually want to do that, but if you wanted to you could walk for real life hours and get from the dwarven area to the more elven areas.. And and all the really cool abilities like in Arcanum one will be there, but even better.. And you can pick to be tech based and search in trash cans for items to build guns and swords and bombs and such, or be magic based.. Or mix, or neglect both and be a fighter or thief or more verbal type character. So much could be done with the concepts in Arcanum made into a FPS.. You could even pick locks on doors, or use your weapons to destroy windows to help sneak in like in Arcanum.. Those cool RPG elements like your faction affiliation, race, evil/good status, and even tech/magic status would make people like or dislike you more, and offer you unique quests only available to some types of characters.. So much could be done in that game it was crazy.. And in a first person type of game, the massive amount of different things might actually be useful this time.. Then add in the RPG like depth and story depth and atmosphere and brilliant, amazing setting.. Psh.. We need this game.
