January 4, 200620 yr Going above level 20 is ridiculous. There is no such thing as epic levels in Star Wars. I found this a very poor design decision on Obsidian's side of things. Also giving a game a sequel where the first one tied things up very nicely and left no real room for one is equally stupid. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Don't even go there mr I had to cheat on Bloodlines. There shouldn't have been any level caps. A strong sith or jedi should be godlike.
January 4, 200620 yr Of course, on the other hand, KOTOR2 *is* a good game. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Then let's say "Less development time doesn't make a faulty game, perfect.". For me, NWN2 is the last of chance of Obsidian. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Normally I give developers 3 chances to make a game I deem worthy, unless they make a spectacular failure. Por2 Was a spectacuar failure and I haven't bought a UbiSoft or Stormfront game since that release. For Troika it was ToEE but I did say I would buy Bloodlines if I saw it for sale in te bargin bin so I did. In any case KotOR 2 was good enough for me to buy NWN 2 and two more games from Obsidian. I doubt NWN 2 will be worse than KotOR 2.
January 4, 200620 yr NWN2 is gonna CRUSH KOTOR2. CRUSH IT TOO POO!!! Just like NWN > KOTOR NWN2 > KOTOR2 And, I also predict that NWN2 > NWN > (KOTOR > KOTOR2) Game over. P.S. Figure out that math, geniuses!!! DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

No. The ruleset wasn't balanced for that. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

But, they are trying to put lot's of new features to NWN 2 and i hope this time development time is enough. I think, making NWN 2 is much harder then making KOTOR 2.
January 4, 200620 yr NWN2 is supposedly gonna have as much dev time as BG2 (give or take). I've read more, and that was from Mr. Feargus IIRC. Length of time should not be an issue as long as they plan accoridng. I beleive they've learned from what they did right and what they did wrong with KOTOR2. The fact that they hired/are hiring a dedicated QA staff also illustrates this fact. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
January 4, 200620 yr Of course, on the other hand, KOTOR2 *is* a good game. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I disagree. I think Kotor2's more of an "interactive story" than an actual game. The combat sucks and I think the only reason so many people play it is for the story & the interaction between NPCs. Without the story & NPCs, I doubt Kotor2 would have sold at all. It's a good game in the sense it allows you to make choices, but aside from that... meh. Oh and yes, the combat is too easy. Did anyone ever actually feel threatened or in danger of death/defeat in Kotor2? Heck, did anyone actually *die*? HK47: Commentary: It is not possible to destroy the master. It is suggested that you run while my blasters warm, meatbags. Bastila to Revan: You are easily the vainest, most arrogant man I have ever met! Canderous to Bastila: Insults? Maybe if your master had trained your lightsaber to be as quick as your tongue you could have escaped those Vulkars, you spoiled little Jedi princess!
January 4, 200620 yr In K2 you are godlike as it should be. If the Exile can cause such a problem in the Force than they should be powerful.
January 4, 200620 yr Where is the fun being all powerful? It just gets boring. Edited January 4, 200620 yr by Judge Hades
January 5, 200620 yr Being a godlike near the end of game can be fun for a while. But, Kotor 2 is easy from beginning to end.
January 5, 200620 yr I still say K2 is one of the best CRPG's Ive ever played. When I was playing it I felt like it was the best game I had ever played. The combat was average(as all games based on the NWN engine) but he story and characters are unparalleled.

January 5, 200620 yr Don't insult NWN's awesome combat by comapring it to the horrible KOTOR combat, NWN's combat has lots of options, variety, and fun. None of which the KOTOR combat can have. Not even close. And, the KOTOR stories are not unpareelled. They are slightly above average (in comparison, the OC's is average, SOU's is slightly below average, and HOTU is above average). Don't overrate KOTOR series. It is a sad state of affairs when that occurs. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
January 5, 200620 yr I liked KotOR 1 and 2's story more than NWN 1 and its expansions. KotOR is definite a B+ (90%) and KotOR 2 is a solid B (85%).
