Ah I miss the LAN gaming at work. We used to do it here, but once our lead programmer was fired that all changed. Ah, all those memories of countless of hours of counterstrike and Red Alert 2 after work. Sad. Anyway considering the kotor teams is doing patches for the game it looks like they will be available soon to work on something else. Obviously not everyone is working on NWN2. As to what it is, I have no idea. For some reason, though, I find it unlikely that they would be creating a new game using their own IP. SP iF your thinking it

I say lets wait and see with the Unreal engine. The Unreal guys said the engine is fully capable of using 3rd person perspective and can code in the mechanics that accompany a crpg. Remember the Jefferson and Van Burren engine was 3D. I guess it just matters how Bioware plans to use it, will it be FPV or a NWN 3rd person perspective style, or something else entirely. Who knows?

It

@the guy with the everquest advertisement. The sad thing is I really like that idea. Too bad it

Even though I was joking with my post above, I do think it could possibly be Bioware. I have some deep down feeling that Bioware doesn

You

You mean like the D20 system <{POST_SNAPBACK}> LOL! You got me on that one. :D

Wow! That

Fair enough Logan, and I

I agree, I would take the loss and patch the game to get people to stop bad mouthing the company. 80% of the complaints would have stopped if troika came out with a full patch that fixed the big bugs like NPC looting and slowdowns in the nodes. You lose some money initially, but maybe you make it back. Heck people are telling others not to buy the game because it

@Di Well considering I

I understand MC

I agree Troika always seemed to put the blame for their mistakes at the feet of the publishers. They never took responsibility for the shipped product themselves. I never liked that about Troika. Pretty cowardly, imo.

I liked ToEE even with its flaws and no story, but it did have role-playing aspects within it, which I thought, were pretty cool (and surprising for a dungeon crawl). You could get married, have a homosexual relationship, have different starting points, join with either of the 4 element groups, you had the good/evil routes, and it had multiple ways to complete the game. You could have pretty radical game experiences when you replayed it because of the choices you could make. I also liked Arcanum. Never bought Bloodlines because I dislike the vampire, gothic junk. But I might still get it someday. Anyways I agree it seemed like they were getting better with each release. Too bad the door shut on them before they could get a good title out. Two things I agree on. With MC I agree Timmy was not a good businessman, also it was a sin that they never opened a forum to interact with their fans. Even when Troika did have a forum for their games on a third party site like Atari for ToEE, they hardly if almost never posted. Especially Timmy, I doubt he ever posted. Not a very friendly group with their fans. One exception was steve moret, he was the only good guy in Troika (when it came to ToEE, at least).

without reading anyone's post, just the title of the thread; NWN was one of the easier games I've ever played. This statement has nothing to do with quality, just the fact that it was pretty simple to play and easy.

Sure it

First off, I disagree with your statement that Dungeon Siege deserved it

Well, that

Another really good soundtrack is the Morrowind soundtrack. Jeremy Soul I think? Anyway, I listen to it a lot and recommend it. I

But bugs nevertheless volourn. We

There are two things that made IWD2 harder than all the other IE games. And yes, I

Interesting, I don

Never!

Well considering this post is about two weeks old, you might be right on target with that assumption Whitemithrandir. No Soup for you, Obsidian fans!
