The few notes about the main quest sounds awesome. I love the fact that you have to build your reputation as a hero before people will treat you as such, and the stronghold idea sounds wicked.

Truly. :cool: It really sounds like great improvement over NWN

Hmm...if your PC starts off as a commoner, doesn't that rather exclude some Character classes? Wizards, for example, are supposed to have done years of training as an apprentice before attaining first level. :( And is it just me, or does a Warlock sound just like a sorcerer? In the first NWN, I heard Sorcerers regularly referred to as (demi-)human artillery platforms.

 

Ah, I'm just feeling pedantic right now. It sounds pretty good. :huh:

Even wizards were commoners at somepoint of their lives. :) But I do understand what you mean.

 

Warlock sounded more like Evoker to me, but it

I hate you guys. 

 

We don't even have that version of PC Gamer over here and until someone confirms it is in the US version too I am buying nothing. 

 

Oh, and what Kaftan said.

 

I'll have a look this afternoon. You could always PM or email someone at Obsidian and ask them nicely to post a screenshot or two. It's going to be a lot higher quality than a grainy scan.

I have to agree with Volourn.  Bioware is pretty much dead now.  Deals like this kills development studios.

What's the estimated time before release for NWN2 - 1.5 more years?

Sometime in 2006. I always felt it was to be in the first half of 2006, but it's just a guess.

 

Now Obsidian can you start releasing some stuff? screenshots are in game manuals and magazines, but nothing on the Obsidian site. :sorcerer:

I really don't think Obsidian has any control of what gets released to the public about NWN2. Hell, BIO probably has more clout in that area.

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."

Yea it's hard to accept, Obsidian is now a developer at the mercy of a publisher. When it was BIS, they pretty much could release what they wanted since they were part of Interplay. Now they are at the whim of the publisher, I just have to get used to it. :sorcerer:

I think it'll be in the 3rd or 4th quarter in anticipation of Christmas. Marketing seems to like that. Plus I feel the game's quite a bit from reaching end development stages. Take your time Obsidz (within reason) and I hope you guys get the time you need.

ATARi arent exactly known to be competent at PR and creating hype, but given that it begins now it may be released as early the off-christmas season(February).

 

 

 

Thats if ATARi follows the same kind of bussiness model they teach us at gamedev Uni :sorcerer:

Atari knows what they are doing. They are doinga wesome with NWN1.

 

Anyways, the Dragon description sounds cool. The main campaign sounds bleh so far. They are stating all the key words; but nothing to back if up. However, I'm sure the official campaign will be fun.

 

64 on a server at a time is more than enough. Let's not get greedy, people.

 

The Warlock class sounds likean overpowered muchkin Sorceror. It's not needed. Bleh.

I hate to say it, but the story reminds me of IWD1. You are nobody, just a group of adventurers, and you are not the chosen one. Also the backdrop of the story is the old rift between the dwarves and the elves that caused their demise to the goblins, and you get to go through all those areas and find out about what really happened during that time. Except this time we get to find out what happened in the battle with the King of Shadows.

 

 

As to the warlock, I like it, as I like variety. I

"As to the warlock, I like it, as I like variety."

 

So do I; but in reality the warlock doesn't offer variety unless you think a sorceror slight powered up is actual variety.

 

I think they should add the 'Meleer' class and give them bonuses in melee. That's avriety, dude! A powered up fighter is sooo cool!

 

I wouldn't mind so much if they just called Warlock a Prestige Class and be done with it. Meh.
