Err..., you're not doing more of the same, because each character is different. You do some things with a fighter, others with a cleric, others with a thief, and so on. So in a game with more characters, you have to decide where and how to use each character differently, thus adding a whole new level of decisions you have to make to vanquish your enemies. On the other hand with just one character, like, say, a fighter you have in NWN1, what. four options? Knockdown, power attack, called shots and regular attacks. And that's all. For a whole 20 to 30 hour game. The orcs were easy, no argument there. But I had more fun with them than in other encounters in the game. I think it was the wide open spaces first, and later the orcs spawning behind your party, IWD2 style. Just gave me more things to do.

Don't get me wrong, I though FFT was fun, just not in the same league as Tactics Ogre. Actually, what I really love is Ogre Battle, but let's stop with the off-topic. I haven't played FFXII. I wish I could, though.

I went to sleep at around page 4, and now I'm back, and it's page 8. Anyway, several pages ago I stated that NWN's combat sucked, and Volo refuted my statement by saying it was the same as NWN2's. First of all, it isn't the same, as here we control a 4 people party, while in the first game we controlled only one character. Needless to say this makes all the difference in terms of tactical depth. There's only so much we can do with one character. Second of all I don't think NWN2's combat is all that great as it is, sice to me it feels a little bit too easy. But of course, the last RPG I found even mildly challenging was IWD2, so what do I know. I did however enjoy the combat in the mountains against the orcs, more that the combat in any part of NWN.

For a second there, I though I was going to have to smack you. ^_^

It was a huge success and perhaps the gameplay in multiplayer (which I haven't tried) gains a whole new level of depth and fun. But single player was like playing PnP alone, with a retarded monkey for a DM. That, coupled with the general blandness of the story and writing in the OC, made for a horrible single player experience. What exactly, do you mean by epic?

"Diablo for the new millenium"???? That would explain why NWN's single player combat is so awful.

Actually, the reason I think he's a schmuck is because I feel it's rather obvious he went into the game with his mind already set into not liking it. His "review" sounds like he spent the whole time looking for all of NWN2's faults, while at the same time purposely ignoring any strengths the game might have. Hence the endless nitpicking.

The guy is a schmuck.

I think he's sucky. Same bad taste in music, at least. :D

How the hell can you like Britney Spears and then "puke at the thought of being one of the masses who play" some NWN modules. It makes no sense

I still haven't gotten exactly what you're looking for. For the record, manga refers to comic books, and anime to cartoons.

I suggested it first!

And?

I've been reading some reviews for this game and I've come to the following conclusion: Next Gen is the things, developers have been doing for years but, with better graphics. And everyone's supposed to shell out 5000$ for that? Of course, game reviewers all over the world are falling for it hook, line, and sinker. The review scores this game has been getting are ridiculous. http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/xbox360/gearsofwar

Furi Kuri Shin Seiki Evangelion Everything Studio Ghibli has ever made.

While I haven't really done anything with the toolset, I'm thinking of modding the OC (with mostly extra dialogue options) to make NPCs react in more ways to the character you create, and to decisions you make during the game. It's still just an idea, though.

KOTOR kind of plays like NWN would if you controlled more than one character. As such, it isn't surprising that NWN2 feels similar to KOTOR.

But at what resolution are you trying to run the game, Bok?

Humans were never the type to live and let live. So we can't lose what we already didn't have.

What about NWN2?

Seriously, how much?

This seems like a good, professional review. http://techreport.com/reviews/2006q4/gefor...00/index.x?pg=1
