Musopticon? Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 You didn't follow the link under the image. Potent? There's more than just the dragon. 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. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 PC gamer should be out on the shelves either this week or next week. I'll check it out then. I'm not really following NwNII so not getting worked up I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback]
Azure79 Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 I like what I see but then again I always do. Does anyone know if we can have more than 2 henchmen this time? I like traveling with a large party. I hold conversations between the characters in my head. Is that sad or what?
kirottu Posted October 12, 2005 Author Posted October 12, 2005 3-4 henchmen. This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
Hell Kitty Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 The dragon doesn't do much for me (though it is nice), but I'm impressed with the other screenshots due to the lack of colourful cartoonishness of the original.
kirottu Posted October 12, 2005 Author Posted October 12, 2005 Orginal was so strange. D&D with happy disney graphics. This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
Tigranes Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 The stylistic changes are impressive. Environments still look a lot better than cities, but we shall see.

Junai Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 Such a tease. I thought I was going to see actual screenshots <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I found no link in this thread so.. http://files.guardianchronicles.net/nwn2-1.jpg http://files.guardianchronicles.net/nwn2-2.jpg http://files.guardianchronicles.net/nwn2-3.jpg http://files.guardianchronicles.net/nwn2-4.jpg http://files.guardianchronicles.net/nwn2-5.jpg J.
ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 I do like the boars they have a bit of a reptilian look to them. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback]

Junai Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 I just picked them up over at NWN2News.. Go over there for more info.

Guest Fishboot Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 It'll be interesting to see what Obsidian's capable of technically. KoTOR2 was so hamstrung by the short cycle and accomodation of X-Box hardware that it didn't say much about the nuts and bolts guys.
Arkan Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 Compared to what? The title text? "Of course the people don't want war.

ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 What are you using for a sense of scale? because I cant see anything on their other than the text. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback]
Judge Hades Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 It just looks too small. Don't try to get a rational answer out of an irrational mental, okay. You will only get the run around and a headache.
ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 (edited) Maybe it's because of what I've been playing recently but it lacks a certain alive quality. I'd really like to see it in some sort of situation. Call me strange but I prefer the boars to the dragon. Edited October 12, 2005 by ShadowPaladin V1.0 I have to agree with Volourn.

Doorman Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 If I'm not mistaken there is a tree under the wing on the left side of the pic. I'm not sure, but it looks like one and if so it shows a very good scale. But you have to remember that everything you can "place" in the toolset is scaleable. You don't want your dragon to be tree size, then make it bigger or smaller to suit your needs. The PC, placeables, items, everything you can put into the tileset is scaleable but may look a bit wonky if they get too big for their animations. Just in case you guys weren't following it as closely as those of us over at the Biobsidian forum
Judge Hades Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 Sorry, Bioware forums are closed to me and I don't go over their much. Besides they have slow arse forums that makes my grandma look like a speed demon and she's been dead for 2 years.
Volourn Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 Hades, you've been posting there. Don't pretend otherwise. Anyways, dragon looks good. City/town looks good. The boars look stupid. It's like the artist tried so ahrd to make them mean, mean, mean that it just feels overdone and the boars just don't do it. Looks fake. Overall, the improved Aurora graphics look nice much like the Witcher. Game over. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Judge Hades Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 I was posting there. Blessed Redeemer was banned by Stanley Woo. making yet another alt account there would be pointless.
Volourn Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 You'll be back. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
