Topic: Black Isle


  
  Scotland - The Black Isle
With the Beauly and Moray Firth to the south, and the Cromarty Firth to the north, the Black Isle only joins the rest of the land mass near Muir of Ord.
No-one knows where the name actually comes from, but it is thought that the term 'The Black Isle' is connected with the dense natural forest that once covered this area of land.
This is intended as a look around the Black Isle for those not familiar with the area, but does not display every place or village, merely a selection that could be included in a day trip around the Black Isle.

 Black Isle's Torn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Notably, Black Isle Studios division director Feargus Urquhart has stated, "even at the end of our work on Torn, we were still considering going back to a system that gave players direct, full control over the party members," and as such the gameplay in Torn was never fully concrete.
Black Isle Studios employee David Maldonado called the resulting spells "generally amongst the weirdest in the game," with the effect often being a combination of "normal" spells fired simultaneously.
Black Isle Studios stated on multiple occasions that their goal was to create a world that was both familiar to role-playing game fans, though simultaneously something new.

 GameSpy.com - Article: Black Isle Studios: We are not BioWare
Black Isle was established in 1998 as the RPG division of Interplay while the development team was working on Fallout 2, said Feargus Urquhart, director of Black Isle and official whip-cracker on the team.
The purpose of creating Black Isle "was to create a group that would focus purely on making Forgotten Realms and Planescape AD&D branded titles, and to continue the legacy of the RPG's that gave Interplay its name in the mid to late '80s."
While Black Isle has developed Torment and Icewind Dale (and is currently working on the Heart of Winter expansion for IWD), the team also developed the non-D&D Fallout series.
