metadigital Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 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. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, I guess very young commoners were still apprenticed to mages, so you may be a common-class sorcerer's apprentice (think Mickey in Fantasia). I liked: As we were already told Strongholds are in, but they are more then "window dressing". They will serve as the PCs base of operations and will be important to the main story. You can hire NPCs to staff your stronghold and gain benefits from such. The example given is you can hire a Scholar to research new spells while you are away on a quest. Companions who join you will you have their own motivation, interests and depending on your actions may open up side quests for you... or tick them off and have them up and leave. They will work similar to KotOR2 and it's influence system. and I hope this will not be as gimmicky as it might be, should the accountants run rampant through the latter part of the development cycle ...

Judge Hades Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 A new core class, hmmm... While I wouldn't have chosen Warlock, it could be good. Also the guy's name wasn't the King of Shadows but the Shadow King. If it is an expanded work of Mark Anthony's Crypt of the Shadowking: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...=books&n=507846 If the game has what that is reported here I will be impressed.

Volourn Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 "Depends on whether Atari is as bad or worse than Lucasarts when it comes to "quicker is better than quality"." According to Monsieur Feargus, NWN2 has a longer development cycle than BG2. Game over. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Judge Hades Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 The game has just begun, Volourn, but what you said is treu then all is good. With any luck Obsidian can make signigicant improvements over KotOR 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volourn Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I am only saying what feargus said. And, uh, NWN2 has been worked on for awhile now. And, there's still 6 months to a year left. I alreayd know NWN2 will be betetr than KOTOR2. Why? 1. Fantasy 2. Dwarves 3. Obsidian Playtesters 4. 2nd game 5. Sequel to NWN which is a MUCH better game than KOTOR was 6. The list goes on DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atreides Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 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. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If you people would just follow my site you wouldnt be throwing guesses around like there is no tomorrow... Q2 2006 is the current release date. Its been in the FAQ for quite some time now. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks Spreading beauty with my katana.

Weiser_Cain Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Good enough, though I wonder how well it'll do other skin tones and how many heads and or face generation/customization there is? The clothes look good but again I wonder how it's done, how good the diffrent parts work together and how hard it's going to be to get new stuff in... Think I'll go ask. Yaw devs, Yaw!!!

Musopticon? Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Good stuff. I agree with Tink. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 It's probably the scan but it looks to angular and inorganic. Still it's better than NWN's dragons so it is progress.
