Monte Carlo Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 Hmmm. It might be worth getting NWN2 after all. We could form a massive griefing posse of drow-slayers and ride the intaweb on our horsies! Nayyyyy!!!
Oerwinde Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 btw, are you guys sure the Jefferson engine was called "mystary engine"? I mean, it's spelled "Mystery". <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It is most definitely spelled mystary, at least in this case. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yup, JE misspelled it on purpose. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
metadigital Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 Yup, JE misspelled customised it on purpose. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
Dhruin Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 You guys do realise NWN2 has player-controlled companions, right? Why on earth would they want to use an old engine rather than one they have completely overhauled and are intimately familiar with (assuming those were the only choices, anyway)?

EUIX Posted May 15, 2005 Posted May 15, 2005 Icewind Dale by definition is set in a place with lots of snow and I just can't stand another setting like for a DnD RPG. "For ourselves, we shall not trouble you with specious pretences- either of how we have a right to our empire because we overthrew the Mede, or are now attacking you because of wrong that you have done us- and make a long speech which would not be believed; and in return we hope that you, instead of thinking to influence us by saying that you did not join the Lacedaemonians, although their colonists, or that you have done us no wrong, will aim at what is feasible, holding in view the real sentiments of us both; since you know as well as we do that right, as the world goes, is only in question between equals in power, while the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must."
Volourn Posted May 15, 2005 Posted May 15, 2005 "Well a lot of the guys at Obsidian wrote the Mystary engine, so I'd think they'd be even more intimately familiar with that one." Doubtful. You, like others, seem to overestimate the number of Obsidianites who worked at BIS, or more specifically worked on BG3 and FO3. Everyone working on NWN2 is familiar with the NWN2 engine; not everyone or even close to it is familiar with the Mystary Engine. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

My statement just wasn't very clear. I didn't mean OE in general would be more familiar with it, just the ex-BIS guys. But then again, its been what? almost 2 years now since they worked with it? So I guess you're right. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
Volourn Posted May 15, 2005 Posted May 15, 2005 "its more like only half now." Actually, accoridng to Obsidian it's more like 25% and it's likely dropped lower with the new hires. And, remember that's ex BIS; not neccesarily ex Mystary Engine. Still, that said, they could still use it if it was possible as they would have to elarn it much like they had to get use to the Aurora Engine as well..

Green Lantern Posted May 15, 2005 Posted May 15, 2005 IWD3 from Obisidian? WOW! I hope this is true. (w00t)
