True, but the only info that we got on that move is that Atari wanted to move the NWN2 forums to where the NWN community was, hence the move to Bioware. We can speculate what happened behind the scenes but all we were given was it was Atari

Hopefully they will realize they need to work with the international community and not force themselves into isolation. It will just make things tough on themselves. quote taken from msnbc

Actually that is my complaint as why TOB is the worst. It's a combination of BG3 and a sequel. If the game were the same length of BG1 or BG2 then it would have worked. The way it was released, it didn't work. You leveled up 16 levels in an expansion so you could enjoy all the high level abilities and fight the high level bosses. Cespinar

I'm pretty sure in IWD2 the moon elf was the default elf, or you could choose a wild elf or drow. But you couldn

Pros: 3.0 rules sub-races puzzles

IWD2 was a game that had phat l00t and massive leveling. If you didn

Thats possible, I haven't heard that one, but it could be truee. I just know Activision refused to put any more money into Bloodlines, and basically forced Troika to stop working on Bloodlines months before it was released. Although, remember Bloodlines came out way after projection. My guess would be Activision paid what it said it would pay, but it wasn

Oh no, Ramza is going to bombard us with "JEFFERSON LIVES!" rants again. RUN KIDDIES! RUN! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Truthfully Atari should release Jefferson, as NWN2 is the only d&d game in production that we know of. BG3 rumors came and went, and we have seen no proof that it is being worked on. What can it hurt, release an older game with older graphics, its not like they are releasing anything else?

Do you have confirmation of this? I have also heard this rumor, but I've also heard that development for Bloodlines was cut short when WW decided to end the WoD, thus the ending was kinda rushed. The two may not be mutually exclusive of course (the gmae is finished and then sits with ACtivision for months) but that makes little sense to me. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There is truth in both. Bllodlines was finished way before it was released, and was on hold until HL2 came out. Troika also asked for extra funds so they could polish up the games bugs, which Activision refused to do. There was plenty of time to do this, but Activision already felt it put enough money into Bloodlines and didn't want to throw more money in. Which is fair for a publisher to do. As noted by Tim, Troika basically closed down 5 months (or something like that) before Bloodlines was released, as there was no funding. Troika made it official after Bloodlines was released, but there really wasn't a company for a while before release.

Ferret worked on The Black Hound and F3. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I stand corrected, then. In his interview he doesn't talk about those as previous games he

beofre even reading the last three pages of this post, I'll make it clear I'm talking about 3.5 rules. I no longer own a 3.0 PHB. Everything I'm posting is in the 3.5 PHB. EDIT: cool Deraldin showed the facts.

As Hades pointed out only your sorcerer levels apply, so your bigger geek body parts has some flaws. And yes I meant hp

Stop lying, a 100 hp familiar at level 20? What are you smoking? A familiar HD is half the master. If the Wizard has a very hearty Constitution at 18 and rolls a 4 on a 1d4 for every level, then maximum a familiar can have is 80 hp

Which I agree with. I do think a familiar should be able to help. Spying, pick pocketing, etc... I don't see them being used in combat unless you take the improved familiar feat (I think its what its called?). Only then can you get an imp or something that can help you in combat, which is something Obsidian should offer. I didn't like super powerful familiars in NWN, but if it

Maybe, but for those of use who live in the real world, those length of games are just no longer feasible. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I

The thing about BG2; it was a good story, joinable npc
