So what - getting shrapnel lodged in you while you were minding your own business and trying to survive qualifies lots of Iraqis and Egyptians.

YOU WANT ENERGY? WE'LL GIVE YOU ENERGY

Do you guys like use ice pucks on ice?

That plan will backfire when global warming melts the ice caps and forces the polar bear army to head south in look of new habitat.

I always imagined Hades as a mostly feral halfling that the master has on chains like an animal. A crazy unpredictable one like a wild animal. Obviously he's a rogue/fighter variant that does most of the scouting, trap setting and picking etc. The special attack would be to release the chains after Hades is straining to attack something. Hades would then hunt down the fleeing victim or something.

based on what evidence? Gromnir likes some josh ideas, but the fates conspire to put him in a position other than where we could ever see what he does with those ideas... The fact that OE hired him after having a close work at his work at BIS and promoting him to lead on NWN2 says a lot to me.

I got my FO1 and 2 in a dual econo pack like the Planescape one you mentioned. It'll probably be hard to find the originals with boxes, manuals and paraphenalia etc.

Actually scratch that - I'll just go Baileys on the rocks.

I'd like some irish cream in my coffee when it's near closing time.

I thought it was funny.

Enforced evolution sounds better.

Ppl are posting on how NWN2's single player's only 20 hours long.

*Somewhere in the near future in Obsidian's cavernous halls* Feargus: So, the guys on the forums are making a fuss over game length. Can you do something about it? JE: Like what? We can't simply fit in new stuff. The continuity would be compromised and we'd have to rework existing stuff. Feargus: Any quick fix? JE: I know, remember the Rubicon Cube in Torment? We could do something like that without affecting the real game. The hardcore dudes will spend hours stuck in it while others would ignore it. Feargus: Genius! Make it so, No2. JE: Here's your dev chance, Bulock. JB: YES, AT LAST! *September/October in a place far far away* Atreides: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

What, exactly, is the question you want addressed. PS, read my sig after you think of the answer <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I was referring to Eldar's post. Sorry for the mixup

I think Obsidian's a partnership with 5? dudes, Feargus among them. It's not publicly listed. I don't think there's anything forcing him to address this though that would be nice. Anyway everything till now is guestimations since NWN2's not like a finsihed product and all. Estimates are useful of course but it's possibly too early to run around sayign the sky's falling.

I'd prefer if the game didn't cheat. It totally sucks. Have a special setup/trap or items, whatever but be subject to the same rules. Crank up the NPCs power or whatever but don't cheat. It may be hard but as long as its fair I'm ok with it. The only case where I'd agree with tweaking if its crucial to the plot story. For example your script's said that whenever the villain's life becomes 0 or less, battle's over and set the guy's life to 1 so (s)he can deliver his/her speech before kicking the bucket. No point if the dude's chunked up and you lost the important info.

All the cool kids misspell. Especially if they have outrageous tacky jewellery and wear ill-fitting "clothes".

The dudes are obviously very good players. The speed Mario dude owns.

Would you sign my copies of IWD2 and NWN2?

What do you guys think on collaborating when it comes to campaign/mod-making? Everyone has their own forte, whether it's unnatural knowledge of Star Trek, constructing art objects or writing dialogue for example. Relative to NWN2, what could/would you contribute? Personally I can give some feedback on an economic/finance model for the campaign and maybe the financial impact of future events (insuranec, for example) framework. Plus I know a little about Japanese culture and a lot about soccer. I don't claim to be an expert though. Btw I posted this in PnP because it's largely theoretical at this point and applicable to campaign making. Plus we're not Devs. Devs welcome to join btw, if they want to talk about particular skills that didn't get used on NWN2 )

What software and stuff would I need if I were to join you guys?

Congrats to Ferret and I hope moving to Edmonton'll be happy and easy for you guys!

It's also possible that game time's been condensed because things load faster (remember "Insert CD4") and meaningless treking across multiple maps has been cut for better gameplay. I'm not going out of my way to cover Obsidian. These reasons and probably more are independent of actual content (the latter was a mechanic rather than real content) and shoudln't be ignored when comparing new with the old sdtuff. Things change as time goes on.
