213374U Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 There's also a reason why NWN is still alive, and not long dead like the BG series. Yup. That reason being mainly the fact that the last installment in the BG series was released in 2001, and HotU came out in 2003. And, at any rate, mods keep coming out for the BG series. Also, NWN was much more multiplayer-friendly than BG, which has contributed to keep the game alive. While the toolset is certainly nice, it's not one of the determining factors as mods have appeared for other games that didn't include developer tools, and the toolset is irrelevant except for those who want to create modules. And those are in the minority. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

Volourn Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 (edited) "Really? You should check out Pokemon Emerald and Saphire, it sells for more now than it did at release." I never said NWN was the only game to have success years after its release. I even gave another example. I apologize for not mentioning your precious Pokemon. It wans't menat as a slight. I'm sure there are other games that fit in this group as well. As for your 3 copies. Geez.. You need help. I have two. One I bought when it came out, and I gave that way when I bought the Platinum Edition. You should try TOEE. You might like it. Probably not; but it's not *all* bad. Heh. "Yup. That reason being mainly the fact that the last installment in the BG series was released in 2001, and HotU came out in 2003. And, at any rate, mods keep coming out for the BG series." Mods played by the same 5 people for the same 5 people. And, mods that 100% suck. Don't get me wrong. NWN has its share of crappy mods too; but the percentage of qualkity to non quality mods is much better for NWN. Not to mention, BG is dead as evdienced by the fact that the devs and publishers don't do anything for it. Bottom line is NWN is still alive. BG series is not. This should be undisputable as the evidence is unstoppable. Edited October 27, 2005 by Volourn DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

NwN hasnt held it's starting price a year on , neither has Sims 2. Pokemon on the other hand has. There is yet another NwN reiusse on the 11th of November. But thats not in any of the preorder charts. It's also the same thing they released however many months ago.

Not great but not bad. It equaled the average NWN module, I won't go beyond that. The sad thing is two modders are using the ie to remake old first edition modules. One guy has done L1, U1 and a 3rd Edition module and is finishing the U series and plans on adding the slaver A series, and another modder hinted at, but was unwilling to admit it because he hasn Life is like a clam.

Hurlshort Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 Definitely, maybe we can get a specific game night going and try to get through the original campaign. I did that with SoU and it really improved the experience.

Some things you just need to let go...it's healthier that way. Steve, that FX5200 should get you low to mid range settings.
