"We have to remember that Hades has played infinity engine based games each about 30 or 40 times. Compared to that your argument doesn

Great interview, Dhruin! If VD does what he says he will 9whcih i have littel doubt he will); this could very well be one of the best games ever.

Torments spells were silly, and overtop. They were cool the first time. Afterwards, I just wanted to use them on those who deisgned them. It's funny that I don't mind those type of things in a FF game; but it just felt out of place in a D&D game. They seemed tacky; because it was just another way to show how 'wacky' PST was...

"I don't judge Baldur's Gate based on Dark Side of the Sword Coast and I will not judge Neverwinter Nights on Dreamcatcher or Tortured Heart. It doesn't matter to me if the game comes with a Tool set or not. I will not judge Knights of the Old Republic 1 or 2 based on their mods, nor Morrowind or Oblivion on their mods. Mods are mods. They are nice additions that give a game a bit of longevity but that is all." To comapre NWN mods to BG mods is ridiculous. Modding, and the toolset has *always* been a big part of the NWN game. It was part of the package, and it was hyped even more than the OC. In fact, BIo wouldn't have bothered to have included the OC if it wasn't for the whiny BG fans (including me) who begged for a full fledge epic campaign which is why the OC was more or less made in a year. The funny thing, as far from perfect as the OC is, it beats most CRPGs including and espciially the ES series. There's a big difference between MW/ES and NWN because the ES toolset is an after though; it's thrown in as a bonous/download. NWN is very much about the whole thing. "I give the total package of the NWN 1 a grade of C and with the improvements of the expansions it inches up to a B." Says the one who says he hates the OC yet hasplayed 3+ times (more than me), has bought both expansions, bought all the PMs (don't deny that you haven't scooped up or will scoop up ID), and has played it a lot. Just admit you like the game a lot as your actions suggest you do. Also, the reason why NWN2 is so awesome to me is that even after 4 years, it is still my most played game. R00fles!

"The best game is only rated about 75/100?" No. The best game is rated in the 90s. The OC - which is just part of the game - is rated 75. Come on, now. Don't be silly. "Oblivion is a pretty big step up from its predecessors, which some people seem to have trouble dealing with." This makes me chuckle. This is what people said about MW as well, and I got suckered into believing them. I went out, and bought the game... and, found out that they were right.... it was a step up.... yet, still wasn't good enough. Perhaps, by the time ES10 come sout, the series will actually be fun. "

I'll do the Oiler fans a favour with my Finals Prediction: Hurricanes over Oilers in 7 games.

I beg to differ. There's never a bad time to buy NWN1. How cna it be? It's the best game. Vampire: Bloodlines is also another good (if you can handle the crappy combat) game to check out. Avoid Oblivion at all cost unless you want to play another large but empty game that honours its predecessors.

So... a 'frenzied berserker' is an enemy boss you fight one on one? Cool beans. :cool:

*sigh* Let's go over this thread again, shall we? "If that's true, then it would be much more productive if he mentioned that when he complains about games sold strictly online. Otherwise he really isn't adding anything to the topic. By telling his story, he's helping us make informed decisions. That's what I see as the best thing about forums." I wrote: "I wanted to post in this thread because the game looks great, and people buy games based on my seal of approval ('cause I'm that darn good) so I wanted to help the VDMeister out." and, "However, I also feel people should realize that this game can't be bought in stores as they have the right to know that." That's why I posted in this thread, and why I bothered to mention my Purchase Rule tm at all.. Geez.. people. READ. P.S. Again, this is about TAOD. Not TBONB. Thank you.

Why are they're moving baseball/softball from the Olympics? That's just dumb. As for gaming as a Big O Sport... hmmm... hmmm.. that's all I gotta say.

Um.. I do. It certainly has the potential to be; but let's play it first before confirming it. Raven: Since almost all my posts are about that issue, I'm sure a quick seatrch will give you the answer you seek.

"Almost." Right. 8901 (counting this one) posts, and 'almost' all fo them are aboiut me not buying game son line. R00fles! Anwyays, stop making thsi thread about me. It's about AOD. I am unimportant.

Every post? Surely your exaggerate. I wanted to post in this thread because the game looks great, and people buy games based on my seal of approval ('cause I'm that darn good) so I wanted to help the VDMeister out. However, Ia lso feel people shoudl realzie that this game cna't be bought in stores as they have the right to know that. Game over. Again. Geez. P.S. the game will have great role-playing. Period. :cool:

Irrelevant. Don't waste your time. The game looks great. I don't buy games on line currently. Maybe in the future; but now. Period. I don't need to explain my reasons to you. Game over.

Looks great. Too bad there aren't no plans to bring it to stores!!! Otherwise, I'd scoop it up with ease.

"Thinking about choices, 'Deus Ex' is still the only game that comes to my mind where you can really choose how to do a mission. Why is that? Is it too difficult for a designer to think of more than one solution to a problem? Or is it the players who prefer linear games? I wish I knew why more people didn't offer players DX-like choice. It certainly is hard to pull off. And as well as DX sold, you could make an argument that players are just as happy with more linear games. Guess I'm going to have to keep plugging away and hope the world follows!" Whatever.

Dragon types have different looking features. They share similiarities; but are not the same. In the end, it's not THAT big of a deal; just dissapointing.

New dev Diary: http://nwn2forums.bioware.com/forums/viewt...483390&forum=95 Red dragon looks awesome! Only twod ragons it seems though (red and green). That's really dissapointed - kida limits module makers for sure. Combat looks much better than earlier videos, and over the video is sweet looking. Great stuff with only one 'negative'.

"I can't believe nobody asked about permadeath..." Who says nobody did? For the record, I did, but it was passed on. No biggy. :ph34r:

"I am really looking forward to that feature as it was absent from NWN1." Actually, I believe, if you play on easy or normal in NWN1, you get max hit points automatically. Can't say for sure as I always play on hardcore... I'm sure NWN2 will, at minimum, offer that.

It's not overused. It's the best D&D setting, and people still want to play it so it's far from overused. Overused means it's been used too much. I beg to differ. It hasn't been used enough - epsicially since there is large parts of the Realms still rather untouched. There's more to the Realms than just the area between Icewind Dale, and The Sword Coast.

Some good stuff being said, and it's not all that dififcult to figure out.... unless you are slow like me... "

NWC tried to trick me. (and everyone else).... The link doesn't lead to the official chat; but you have to enter another chat room. Hehe. :D

"revolutionary gameplay of the Wii" Exactly how is it revolutionary? People keep saying this, and I'm still not buying it.

Sounds good; but it's best to wait until the Atari situation sorts itself out espicially since that's kinda out of even obsidian's hand. I don't think many doubt Obsidian's intentions. I don't; but Atari's standing is on one leg currently. I'll wait 'til nNW2 comes out, enjoy the OC, and go from there.
