<strong>[ -> N/A]</strong>

You know them, you love them, the fine folks at <A href="http://www.rpgdot.com/">RPGDot</a> have posted a set of <A href="http://www.rpgdot.com/index.php?hsactio ... ID=332">E3 Awards</a> based on categories. <a href="http://lionheart.blackisle.com/">Lionheart</a> picked up two merits, <b>Best Historic RPG Runner Up</b> and <b>Best Multiplayer RPG Runner Up</b>. Here's a bit that was said:<br><br><blockquote>Developer: Reflexive<br>Publisher: Interplay<br>Platform: PC<br>Release Date: Christmas 2002<br><br>This being one of the few new games announced at E3, everyone wants to know about it. It uses a skill system like Fallout, but the look and feel are comparable to the Baldur's Gate / Icewind Dale games in a magic/science world along the lines of Arcanum. This is an alternate timeline game. In the 3rd century magic came into the world. The game takes place in the 16th century. The two opposing forces are the Inquisition and the Magicians. You start out on the side of the Inquisition, but its up to you where you go from there. There are several historical figures in the game, but with a twist, such as Leonardo Da Vinci is an archmage. You will see lots of his odd inventions scattered about. The game will also support co-op for upto 3 players.<br><br>Just like NWN, Lionheart offers a single player adventure as well.<br><br></blockquote>This was spotted at the <a href="http://feedback.blackisle.com/">BIS forums</a>, posted by <b>Fionavar</b> or something like that.

Best Historic RPG

What the hell kind of awards category is that? How many other "Historic RPGs" were showed at E3 that will fit in to that category :

Do they just make up award categories whenever they find a game they'd like to give an award too? How about an award for "Best FPS using a new engine that was made by Id Software" or, "Best RPG that has the initials NWN"? Are these categories for real?

[Saint_Proverbius]

Sea Dogs 2 won the category. Rend really liked Sea Dogs, so that's not surprise there.
