  1. I didn't get one, because I'm waiting and seeing. Hopefully my new computer is in by the end of the week though.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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
  5. 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.
  6. The FlakPanzers at night I suspect? I believe the town is St. Mere Eglise?
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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?
  11. I don't suppose you have anything that can confirm the Bioware estimations?
  12. 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?

    Too bad we don't know what the stabbing was related to.
  14. I went for broke, given that I'm stupid/rich.
  15. I'm pretty sure CoD standard doesn't have StarForce, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything I guess. In any case, I must say that jags is kind with his words :">
  16. I think support is still kind of limited. Do they not mention which games have support on their website?
  17. I did get the European version. The scene that was cut ultimately didn't add much to the game. I was hoping for more substance.
  18. It also says Freedom is Slavery and War is Peace.
  19. Heh, isn't E3 itself "closed to the public?"
  20. I killed Razor. Then I started lagging or somethinb, because my shields were taking damage even though I never got hit
