Um.. It's on Tuesday next week. The 31st. This shouldn't be surprising. L0LLERZ! They're just preparing the fourms. Agolawa!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Please join us in 3.5, Dark Raven." 3.5 wizards can CRUSH 3.5 clerics. 3.5 clerics can CRUSH 3.5 wizards. There is no uber class. It's a myth passed on by those who don't know how to play D&D.
-
"They're already Uberpowered" No, they aren't. My mage can beat your cleric. R00fles!

But, game companies are actually charity cases NOT business! If you are moral, upstanding, and good; you would support them NO MATTER WHAT! If you buy less than 3 copies, you are scum!!!

"The camera controls are the same between the NWN1 toolset and the NWN2 prerelease." I could believe this if it wasn't the fact I'm not the only one whose pointed out the unituitiveness of the camera controls. But, I'll look into it to double check. But, the idea I could accidently mix up the controls just illustrates the point. Still, like I said before, there's a lot of goodness about the enw toolset as well. Heck, reiszing creatures is a lot of fun. I resized a dire wolf into be so large that it looked ridiculous. LOL
-
"that's because now that hades is gone you're the only big player left." LOL Now, I know why I enjoy your posts so much. (w00t) "and yeah, i fired it up but my compy couldnt quite handle it. still it didnt seem that unintuitive to me." So... you think the camera controls are intuitive? WOW!
-
"and how am i different from you or most of the people here?" Because, you seem to do 99% of your arguing with me. Which I find cool, and rather flattering. I have no problems arguing with anybody. I single nobody out. My wrath is for everyone who I happen to disagree with on a certain issue. btw, Have you even tried the NWN2 toolset? "
-
"if you really want to make something, you can. " No duh. Nowhere did I say I had 'given up'. In fact, I'm learning as we type. You are miss the point but then again you are the kind of poster who would argue with me about my age. *shrugs* "You still compare NWN1 toolset to NWN2 toolset in terms of "intuitiveness" because you were using NWN1 toolset for too long, and naturally NWN1 toolset will be more intuitive. I haven't used it that much hence NWN2 toolset doesn't seem a single bit unintuitive to me. Try to unlearn NWN1 toolset, try getting used to new hotkeys (using shift/alt/ctrl with mouse helps) and it will not be as hard." Good points, overall. however, I'm not comparing my knoweldge of the twoolsets. I ahve more epxeirence with the NWN1 toolset so of course I'd be more famialir it. I'm talkinga bout intuitiveness which means something working in an obvious way. With the toolset, the way to move the camera made logical sense and wa snatural. There was nothing to learn. The way the NWN2 toolset doe sit is untuitive because I doubt anyone would do it that way naturally. What's more intuitive or natural? Point your mouse on arrows to move the screen in various directions or holding a key down while holding the mouse down and then moving the mouse in the opposite direction that you wnat to go in? If I want to move to the left I should be able to move the mouse elft; not right. Like I said, not as intuitive as it should be. Like I said, this isn't an argument about the (lack) of power of the toolset. It's obvious that you can do more with the NWN2 toolset than the NWN1 toolset. This is undisputable. the point is the intuitiveness could have been handled better WITHOUT harming the power of it. P.S. I'm not going to 'unlearn' the NWN1 toolset as I have every intention of still using it. It's not an either/or thing. I'm gonna finish my NWN1 module even if I'm 100 years old!!!!

Anything that wastes time when it doens't have to is bad. Period. This is undisputable. Why make someone waste 2 hours making something when it should take them 30 minutes. Afterall, I can go to NY by walking; but logistics say it be much better if I take a vehicle. R00fles! Bottom line is stuff like this makes the toolset untuitive, and the key here is IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE. Obsidian, btw, has admitted to this, and plan to fix some of the unintuitiveness. It's also not 'just a handful of people; but a bunch. *shrugs* How cna anyone defend unintuitiveness is beyond me. If you prefer the enw way of camera control in the toolset than just admit it. Otherwise, youa re just trolling to be cool.

Random generation vs. Careful planning
Volourn replied to Kaftan Barlast's topic in Pen-and-Paper Gaming
"Now my weird aquintance who is a lot like magical Volo in that he has a pathological desire to have the exacy opposite opinion of everyone else.. " Stop with the rumours, myths, and innuendo. Also stop with the trolling personal attacks. Please, and thank you. As for the topic, I prefer careful planning of characters; though 'random generation/premade' chaarcetrs can also be fun under the right circumstances. -
Instead of whining about people whining answer me this: How is NWN2 toolset's way of allowing players to move around and look at the map more intuitive than NWN1's way of doing? Do you know what intuitive is? There is no way that one can think that NWN2's way of doing so is more intuitive. I am NOT bashing the quality of the toolset. I'm just saying it lacks intuitiveness that it doesn't have to.

*yawn*

Like I said. Silly, and retarded. But, they have the right to buy it if they so wish.
-
"It's about as silly as, oh, that's right, people buying what they want to buy with their money, Volo." Neverr said people didn'thave the right to spend their money on they want. It's still silly. If someone was selling poop in a restaurant; people would have the right to buy it. It would still be silly (in fact, it be retarded) to buy it. Period.

"Good news for druids - one of the OE devs has confirmed that druids will be getting 9 new spells in the first patch, one for each level, as well as a surprise bonus thingy (my guess - Natural Spell)." I hope they add stuff for other classes otherwise that patch would seriously be unfair. I think people are undderating both NWN1 druids (which I've seen in action and they rock) and NWN2 druids who seem to be really good too. I wish people would stop that!

I didn't say Barbie RPG. What if they made a Barbie racing game? Buying it just because x company made it is silly. Plain, and simple. "Flawed logic Bio boy don't deny it. You would buy anything Bio shoved in your face." What's hialrious is that I ahven't bought every BIO game nor do I intend to. So, once again, you spread rumours, myths, and innuendo. Obsidian, BIO, and other game comapnies are NOT charity cases. Nor should they be treated as such. In fact, I think you insult companies (not that they'd complain as they'd get their money either way) when you treat them as such. You also make fun of their hard work when you do that since they should be rewarded when they make games you wanna play. Size should be irrelevant here. You get big by giving consumers what they want.
-
Oh SNAP!
-
Being a fan of a company is useless. You shoudl only buy a game if you want to play it not just because x company made it. For example: I like BIO; but if they were to make a Barbie game, NO THANKS!!!!
-
Oh SNAP!

1. Working on my NWN module. (LOL) 2. Playing a paritucvlar NWN PW. (not as much lately) 3. Playing my 8th season of MVP Baseball. (possibly the best game ever). Trying to avenge my WS shullacking from last season,a nd taking it out on my opponents and am 45-18 with a current 13 game winning streak. It's the best my record has ever been this late in the season. Of course, the stupid Angels are actually 2 games ahead of me overall. LOLLERZ! And, it seems opponents really fear my created player as they now seem to be giving him the 'Bonds' treatment in walking him with nobody on in close games late. I might actually reach 100 walks this season when my previous record was around 45. WOWSERS! 4. Tinkering (or trying to) with the NWN2 pre release toolset. It looks cool; but can be really annoying. Floating buildings about to tip over is NOT cool.
-
NWN2 is the only game I'm planning on getting for the rest of the year. I *might* get FF12. Next year will bring a few more goodie title like ME, G3, JE2, and *maybe* if it's under $20 Oblivion... plus, the regular sports titles...
-
Purchasing shouldn't be a form of support group. You should preorde rgames for yourself not to help a company. That's NUTS. Thankfully, I have no plans to buy G3 'til next year so heh, I win again.
-
No. It was a lot easier to understand the basics of the NWN1 toolset. Much easier. Heck, I still can't get hills right. I want to build a hill and have an important building on it yet my building is currently have floating in air. LOL And, the brush is annoying. Not to mention the camera control which simply literlaly does the opposite of what you wnat - if you want to go right you got to move the mouse to the left. VERY unituitive. Don't get me wrong, obvious the NWN2 toolset can do a lot more than the NWN1 toolset (lol, sequel, it should do better); but Obsidian could could have made it more user friendly and still add all these new functions. They've actually admitted this and the first patch will liekly help here. With NWN1's toolset, my biggest setback was/is scripting. Here it's trying to get the land the way I want. P.S. Of course, since I haven't quite finished my NWN1 module yet (lol); one cna't tkae my complaints too serious though many others ahve said the exact same thing. The problem is the toolset is not as intuitive as it could be, and it could add this 'intuitiveness' without losing it's power, imo. P.S. I dislike ideas for certain previews including this one to pimp features as being 'new' when they were in NWN1.
