Also they stopped giving a shit on what people put on the market

They ruined themselves by giving some bronie fan the ability to create a new HL game, ended up with stolen Assets, stolen maps, etc.

There is an awful lot of plot left for just one book

To do list: steal princesses from sleeping barrow kings, get expelled from the University, talk to Gods. Maybe kill a king???

also: involve the spider things from the first book, meet satyr friend, lose magic, obtain the sword "folly"

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

Going into the fairy world and having sex with her as well as talking to the tree thing comes pretty close to talking to Gods I would say

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Maybe, but he also specifically mentioned his time with Felurian in his "you may have heard of me" summary, so maybe he meets Tehlu?

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

The fey is one thing, Tehlu another entirely. Rothfuss seems to favor the more realistic aspect of the mythical so I just don’t see it

IIRC they're using the steam market to trade cards, and it'll be a mobile release first. So, chance that its a card game that sucks less?

It doesn't mean that the game won't be good just because they're not made by the same team. Take Portal Story : Mel for exemple

They won't make the third one as they know it will never meet expectations after this long. If i'm wrong, they're doing it for the money.

they are not. simply put, there's been several attempts, none met the goals, teams after teams, think tanks after another.

Valve is litterally swiming in cash, I dont think they need the money, I dont think they would do something for something they have already.
