Desslock has updated his latest ramblings with some talk about what Black Isle Studios’ future is, as well as the future of MMORPGs. Here’s a taste:

There’s no doubt that Interplay’s Black Isle Studios has been the best friend of RPG fans over the past several years. For each of the past 4 years, there’s been little doubt that the best RPG of the year was either developed or published by Black Isle Studios (97 – Fallout; 98 – Baldur’s Gate, Fallout 2; 99 – Planescape Torment; 2000 – Baldur’s Gate 2, Icewind Dale). That’s a streak that will end this year, unless the BG2 expansion pack collects some accolades, as the gaming media will likely elect Dark Age of Camelot, Arcanum, or even Wizardry 8 as the best RPG of the year.
