Volourn

Bioware, and Black Isle from the dvelopers I actually like and pay attention to I think have the beest way of dealing with fans. In most situations that is as no one is perfect. i'm sure Obsidian will continue BIS' tradition of that considering that most fo them come from there. No worries.

Warning? Are you a mod? I just find it funny people say that Rt with pause lacks tatics comapred to turn base combat. It all depends on the options the devloper gives the PC. NWN has more options for combat than POR2 depsite them both "sharing" the same ruleset yet POR2 is turn base. Why is that? Simple. POR2 lacks the options to use. Same thing with the relationship with NWN, and TOEE except TOEE has the edge in this department. Why? Because TOEE gives you more options. That's all that matters. People who say RT w/pause loses tatical options comapred to tb combat ar ejust being silly as NWN has more options than most role-playing games. Weird.

Ha. Exitium, and I argue throughout this thread, and we finally find something we agree on. Thanks mkreku.

That counts me out.

Pulp: Enemies just charge at you? Weird.. Manye nemies try to avoid melee with you. Espicially archers or spellcasters. Heck, in tb games enemies charge right at you. The weakness there is in a game like TOEE a mage can cast fireball and aim it so perfectly right down to the millimetre. yeah, that's realsyic or even fun or challenging.. Not. True, NWN has an edge because it's only one controleld character but last i checked this wasn't a dbeate of single vs. party based combat but tb vs. rt or rtw pause. NWN has lots of tatics involved in it and even int he OC there are many times where if you just charged straight ahead you'd die. Heck, in TOEE most of the time I didn't need *nay* planning to be victoriuous as most battles involved absolutely retarded and on e dimensional monsters ala bugbears or other melee type or absic archers thrown in. You don't need to be that quick thinking or dexterious at all to play NWN just fine. It isn't that fast paced like an FPS due to the inherent 6 second rounds. I always micro manage in NWN as I do in tb games. Mega: Sure.

Um, in real life all things are done in real time be they fine or not. You don't need imagination for that.

Teatime: I don't like *any* game in the way you do. No game is needed and that includes NWN. Games are not *needed8. They are wante. Neither you or I will perish (and neitehr does the world0 if our favorite games weren't made; or another one is made in their spirit. That is silly fanatical talk.

No. It belongs to BIO. theyd eveloped it. Just like Obsidian's game will most likely belong to them even if BIO *helps* them. btw, I'm not spekaing legally as obviously legally Interplay owns the Bgs eries.

No, the world doesn't *need* any game. That is just blatantly untrue. Another PST game would be nice; but is most certainly not needed.

Espicially the poster two times above above me. P.S. Damn ya Rivanstar! :angry:

Woah, woah, woah. Someone should brush up on their NWN lore. Called shots: There are two. One to the arms, and one to the legs. Those are specifci body parts last i checked hence why it's called call shots. Knockdown & Disarm: Not really single lcicksunless you ahev them in the quick bar otherwise you have to use the radial menu just like another more recent game. You don't have to queue your attacks. I surely don't. You have plenty of time to use them within a round so no worries. You can choose precisely how you want to attack in NWN as well . Only exception is AOO which I wish was player chocie activated but oh well. That could be fixed by BIo if they so wish though. I'm sorry to say; but outside of TOEE; there are very few role-playing games that bring more tatics to the combat table and TOE's advantage isn't that it's tb but becuase you cna control multiple characters (though NWN has henchmen which you can tell what to do within reason); and it has more combat options overall.

Phoenix: I doubt BIo would be screwed as they already basically threw one of their small time co dveelopers in the trash can when it was apparant they failed to meet BIo's standards. SOU was supposed to be done by another company; but BIO landed up taking over and the other company got credit for animations, spell effects, and the cutscenes. LMAO BIO don't fool around.

HuH? NWN has called shots, trip (knockdown), disarm, and a host of other of combat options. And, I very rarely pause the game.

Huh? you could micro manage all you want in the IE games...

Silly BIO. Trusting is for kids.

I want a game that will make POR2 look like the best ever! uh, seriosuly, I want a good rpg. Uh duh.

What gay porn? Huh? RPGCodex has never done that to me. Insults yes, wishes for me to die yes ; but no gay porn. However, I get isnults and death threats on almost every Internet geek Message Board so it isn't really new. Megatron: Respect? Ha. Is that what they call it nowadays? Maybe, just maybe, a very small handful of the Codex's posters respect me; but I must stress they are in the very small minority. Codex don't really care for any dissenting opinion. Just check out the flame wars when of their own stated he liked KOTOR a lot. It was civil war! (Well.. not quite); but it sure wasn't pretty. Hades: Don't take it so personally. It's an internet Geek Message Board just like this one. It's just not important enough to worry about. It's all fun and games until volourn shows up. :D All one has to do to find out hy I post thee is read P's signature as that explains my position on the Codex quite clearly.

Revolver: Ahh.. Youa re thinking along the lines of, say, Arcanum which ;supported" boith. Ahh.. I don't mind too much; but that's me. Zant: Actually, RT w/pause gives ample time for tatical chocies if you actually use the pause. If you try to play it in full Rt then you are misisng the point of having RT w/pause.

Cheers... btw, Youa re wtwisting my words though. I just meant I would check any "biases" I may ahve at the door. I would enforce rules one way or the other whether you are a "friend" or an "enemy" even though I maintain I have neither on the boards.

RT with pause isn't horried. that said, a fun tb game would be welcomed sicne there have been very few if none of those since the FO series

I guess you haven't read any of my posts then if you'd think I'd be anything ressembling a "Nazi". *sigh*

Because I can.

This thread needs a lockdown, I think. I came here for poilte discussion of Obsiaidn. If I want insults; there's always RPGCodex.

Please, Ex. Half the time, RPGCodex's "arguments" against Grom was that they couldn't udnerstand his posting style. Yeah, those are superior points and surely showed him. Ha. Ewn, as for me being mod, as I stated earlier, our fellow posters would all abandoned ship if I was made mod. They don't like it when people do the mod job fairly and by the rules and with no mercy. As Sammael put it; they'd all be cryin'," What horror!"

What are you talking about? You are the one who claims that I stated my disagreement with you due to some 'personal disagreemnt" with you even though I don't have tanything to do with you in a personal manner sicne boards are not personal matters. Sheesh. Strider: LOL
