Meh. Just goes to show there are ass monkeys wherever you go.

3dfx also gambled that people would have no problems buying cards with 4 chips on it too I guess though

Hehe, I went with the A8R-32-MVP Deluxe because I was getting an ATI card With gaming though, it always seems to be the video card that makes the biggest impact. Which is probably unfortunate. As long as you get a motherboard with PCI-E though, you should be ok for a while.

I thought the eyes seemed fine. It was mostly the upper lip for me. I liked the idea for the teaser though, with the music background and everything else.

Currently playing nothing. Waiting for new confuser.

When frame rates are already really high, people will be more willing to add the pretty explosions. 3dfx gambled that no one would be interested in a GeForce card that ran games slower with hardware T&L, but they did.

I'm picking Buffalo. As for how you spell clutch? It's P-I-S-A-N-I woooo!

It makes people really bloody lazy. Recently its been shown to have a greater link to onset of schizophrenia than previously thoyght. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have never heard that.

It's funny, if we heard about all the things that get cut from games, you could argue that no game was shipped completed. Though some people still insist that game developers update their fans, yet get upset when things get cut.

The initial list for the original Voodoo card wasn't all that uber-fantastic either.

I think there will be an oil spill in the shark tank tonight. And sharks cannot swim in oil! :D

I didn't get one, because I'm waiting and seeing. Hopefully my new computer is in by the end of the week though.

On the plus side, it sounds like the aid the DM Client provided for NWN1 will still be usable for NWN2 (even without the DM Client), if I read that Patrick comment correctly.

I think that all it really says is that they didn't come to the realization that it really won't be done at release. I thought that this was more mentioned at the beginning stages of the development, and never really mentioned again outside of people adding it to their FAQs and whatnot. EDIT: No luck with the search yet. The only thing I can find is MP vs SP, which doesn't necessarily mean the DM Client is being used (as I played MP without using the DM client). I suppose I can just ask someone, though they may not answer me or want me to comment on it (for whatever reason), so the hunt continues.

I loved MoH, but I find CoD so much better. The atmosphere of the game is insane. Particularly the sound. And the fact that, for the most part, you're not alone, makes it that much more immersive. If there was a way to Coop it with you, I'd join in

Who's saying they didn't? It's presumptuous to assume that because we are only now seeing a comment about it, that they just now recognized that it had to be changed. They just realized that, as of now, it's not likely to be included in the release.

The FlakPanzers at night I suspect? I believe the town is St. Mere Eglise?

So much of this is taken into account with NPCs though. Since Gnomes and Halflings already exist in the game, it's a zero cost for making them work with armors and weapons for PCs, given they already work with NPCs. If gnomes and halfings flat out didn't exist in their game, then it would mean a bit more. As for dialogue checks and whatnot, based on my previous experiences with RPGs I would be very surprised if the amount of work done on these goes beyond the usual fluff. In other words, the work requirement is minimal. Taking a look around this thread at Bioware, it seems like one of the many uses of the DM Client is to do on the fly testing of modules. But, this post by Patrick Mills is that these bug testing features will not require the DM Client and can still be done. Initially it wasn't expected to be changed. Later, (I suspect after engine rewrites and whatnot), it apparently has. We don't even know that it hasn't been touched...just that it won't be finished. I'm sure other details were considered higher priority during development at various points in time. A DM Client exists, but not one that works with NWN2.

Reminds me of when the GeForce supported Hardware T&L. It was slower with it on. It's still a step in the right direction.

Fortunately it's easy to add a gnome/halfling. Not to mention the fact that the game already has support for them built in as NPCs are gnomes and halflings.

Assuming that they didn't sell more than than a million units, that would put the DM Client usage to 100,000-300,000 range. Don't suppose you'd know what appropriate search criteria I should search for?

I don't suppose you have anything that can confirm the Bioware estimations?

Chewbacca lives on Endor?

The AI is really well done. There are some levels where they went away from it and you find yourself alone at times, but it gets better again afterwards. The Soviet missions are great! What level are you on?
