    IMO, it would be odd to have sequel to a saga that was concluded so surely in ToB (even though I believe they could have done a lot better work with it).

    Better to make a new game and new story.

    Ignoring the obvious problem that no such game is being made, nor will be made, I don't see the problem with creating a new game in the BG line, continuing the plot of the Bhaalspawn.

    Nor do I see the problem with the main character being a deity. In the Realms, being a deity isn't all that big a deal. The FR pantheon is a hotbed of politics. The Bhaalspawn god(dess) would need to accumulate worshippers to gain power, would need to keep Cyric off of his/her back, would have to deal with the conflict between the Weave and Shadow Weave.

    I'm not saying this would ever happen, or even that it should, but I do believe it's possible. It would be a large departure from the other games in the series, in terms of gameplay, but so what? It would be pretty hit or miss (Black and White springs to mind), but nothing good comes from playing it safe. Or, more truthfully, nothing great comes from playing it safe.

    Ah, but leveling up will lose all of its fun.

    And just because you will be level 40+ does not nessicarly mean no challange, anyone that's played tactics, Ascension or Improved Sendai can tell you that. and regarding what path a sequel would take then I guess that could go both way's but my guess is that the mortality path would be the most likely to be most popular of the two, because of the option of having a romance just to name one good reason, (because they seem to be quite popular).

    Well now they should have no reason for not releasing the infinity engine for the fan community. It would be really interesting to see what could be done with it.
