BattleCookiee Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 (edited) How do you know... Really, you can't make anything from those screens. It could be cutscene's and the game still is isometric for example... I mean, really, do you see the "Hero" anywhere? Quite a requirement to see what camera position is used... those pics look like crap. Agreed... But what do you expect from Black&White minature screens...

Judge Hades Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Thanks for the colorized versions, Rhomal. You know.. those pictures sure does remind me alot of Gothic. And that is never a bad thing in my opinion I think I'm going to like Neverwinter Nights 2! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I hated Gothic and those pics look like crap.

Jumjalum Posted September 27, 2005 Author Share Posted September 27, 2005 Those coloured shots are much better, well done whoever that was. They look pretty good, and since those shots are over 5 months old they probably look a lot better now. We now bring you live footage from the World Championship Staring Final.

kumquatq3 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I just noticed this quote on the same page the NWN2 pics were on: Shoofly: I guess my general point is that all of these game developers keep spending so much time on the engine that these games take forever to get finished and sacrifice content for whiz bangs. Feargus Urquhart: We are trying to be as smart as possible about what we replace, change and optimize with the time that we have to work on NWN2. BG2 actually took between about 18 months to make, while NWN2 is taking a little longer than that - but not by much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was refering to the colored pics. But what do you expect from Black&White minature screens, who are colored by somebody who totally doesn't know the colors needed in some photo-shop program, and just like us can barely see what goes on in the black&white and thus what to color what way...

Musopticon? Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Too true. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today.
