Oh, SNAP!

Not to mention the fact it's a newer game so the graphics being 'better' isn't that impressive...

"As far as D&D engines go, ToEE's engine is king." No.

"A thief was a thief." False. You tell my dwarven locksmith that, and he's liable to smack you across the head with his oversized hammer. P.S. As for 4th edition, meh. B O R I N G The chance sof me buying it is less than nil. Heck, i don't even bother buying anymore 3.0 stuff. And, I have never bought *any* 3.5 junk (not counting video games based off of it ala TOEE and upcoming NWN2).

Yet, you'll be first in line to buy it when it's released... Hmm... :ph34r: P.S. Very few people even care about a (non) existence of z-axis in any game CRPG or not. Modenr games don't need it. At all. Period. P.S.S. NWN2 will not be perfect; but it will be the best game released in 2006.

"still lacks some basic features that should be in current CRPGs." Says who? I don't think the 'mass market' really cares if current CRPGs have a fully functioning z-axis or whatever. In fact, my non internet geek friends (if I actually had any, l0llers)'s number one question always is "it it fun?"; not "does it have z-axis?" In fact, I'm sure that's number 1 million on their list of concerns. As Mr. Sawyer points out, Oblivion is the latest game to disprove your theory. Just as NWN2 when it sells 1 million +copies starting in late October will disprove your theory as well. And, yeah, updating my computer for NWN2 is gonna cost me big time. I might not be even able to play the game 'til December (though I'll buy it the day it comes out, lol)...

"Like Games Like grand theft auto" The funny thing is that the crime rate amongst kids has gone down since GTA came out. In fact, the crime rate in the US has been coming down since games have become popular. At least any study I've seen on the issue. JT is a moron. Plain, and simple. People who are violent ar egonna be violent games or no games. Just because a murderer had played some video game when they were a kid does mean there is some sort of connection. Damn idiot he is.

NWN2 DA JE2 ME + ME2 + ME3 Madden 2007

NWN character models looked fine. The biggest beef (and, what Arkan is probably buggered about) is that they were blocky which hurt their quality.

"Some games just dont work gameplay-wise on consoles even if it would be technicly possible to port them, bestseller or not. And given the fact that 99% of console owners also have a PC to play on, its not really necessary." Nonsense. It would be (and, has been) easy to make a NWN2 style game on console. And, this idea that most consolers own PCs surely doens't stop games release don both being successful. ie. the KOTORs were a success on both xbox and PC as was MW, and Oblivion (for xbox 360 in that case).

This thread rocks! And, NWN's graphics looked good when it came out (certainly better than the brown poo that passed for graphics in MW, anyways), and it still looks good now. I'm sure NWN2 graphics will look as well. Either way, graphical importance to a game's quality is overrated. P.S. I didn't mind the NWN inventoiry 'tetris' system. I think it was great. However, there were too many blocks though. The inventory should only have 1 screen so you have to actually manage your inventory. NWN2 going back to IE type inventory where full plate = potion is a retarded step back.

St:TNG Season 5. The goodness continues to roll. :cool:

Patrick Stewart is a living statue who is an awesome actor. :cool:

Don't forget Brian Leetch!!! Untilr ecently when he has been only a 'good' defenseman; he has been one of the best in the league every year for a decade +!

He's good; but to me he's not HOF worthy.

Mr. Hades REALLY loves JE. (both the game and the developer, heh)

Doesn't sound like a lie to me; but more like a change in plans. Seriously, the accusations of lies on the internet occurs so quickly. Tsk, tsk.

Sports (mostly basketball though it's been awhile), D&D, video games, card games, internet, television, writing/reading, porn, and swimming.

Heh. No problem. That can happen.

"Racism wasn't outlawed because people suddenly started to hate it. It was outlawed because industrialization made it obsolete." Irrellevant. Anyone who tries to claim that racism (white against black or vice versa) is as bad now as it was 'way back when' is blind to the current truth. Again, this doesn't mean racism doesn't exist today; but its nowhere near as prevelant as it used to be. The reasons why slavery was outlawed is irrelvant. *You also seem to be mistaking slavery itself with racism. While they are often interconnected; they are not the same thing.* (IGNORE THIS LINE)

Absolutely.

ST:TNG Season 4. This top 5 tv series continues its winning ways with excellent episodes coming en masse. Borg + Klingon Wars = Sweetness!

"I also gotta add, racism is extremely prevalent is the US." I agree. It's obvious that many blacks hate white people, and blame them for everything! P.S. More seriously, sure racism still exists on both sides; but it's nowhere enar as bad as it used to be. It's also very frowned on by the majority of people. There's a reason why slavery has been outlawed, and people can get into a lot of legal trouble if they go too far with thier hatred. It's because society is bigoted against racism.

Blizzard is successful because they create games people wnat to play. This is the same philosophy that all successful businesses have - make something (be it games, cars, movies, food) that people want.

"It's strange that todays african american populace does not realise; that between suffering a few measly years of slavery, repression and racial bigotry" It's stranger still that many don't realize that Afrikan Amerikans (gah, I hate this term; are blacks in Kanada referred to as Afrikan Amerikans or Afrikan Kanadians? Hmmm...) today don't have to suffer slavery at all.... and, never have.
