Interplay wasn't interested, but saw potential in the tech demo for BioWare's real-time, multi-player "Infinity Engine". So they hired BioWare - who at that point were known only for the mediocre MechWarrior clone, Shattered Steel - to produce a Fallout-style RPG based on the Dungeons & Dragons license. How much influence Interplay had after that is a matter of some debate.
Oh, and this came out in a GDC panel a couple years ago:
Other tidbits from the panel include how the aforementioned Battleground Infinity tech demo was, in reality, just a DirectX3 tech demo that originally had asteroids crashing into each other -- but completely reskinned with monsters substituting for said asteroids.
I heard about the substituting monsters for asteroids thing, but the mmo thing is...pretty much guild wars, isn't it?
anyway bioware have never been good at tech that's not why people buy their shit |
