karka Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 (edited) I myself don't like that blurry effect. But they(screens) look good indeed.

karka Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Shots at the Gamebanshee are new i think. At least for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 There were no new screenshots for a very long time. Shots at Gamebansee aren't new either, however they have creature renders that I haven't seen (can be new). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haitoku Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Looks nice. Kinda sick of the fantasy setting, but if OE can pull of a interesting story (unlike the first)... I'll be sure to pick this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Hades Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 What they need to do is make a d20 Modern CRPG in the same style of NWN 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judge Hades Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I say d20 Modern because it would be less work than bringing in a whole new rules system to the game engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judge Hades Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Exactly and though there are some major differences between the d20 Modern mechanic and DnD there are a number of similarities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkreku Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Why do the screenshots look so.. generic? There's no style to anything. A fireplace is a fireplace and all that. I do hope the finalized version looks a bit more alive. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkreku Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 The rug makes the first picture look like you're looking inside a doll house. The weave is so big (were they using hemp rope to make it?) that it looks like normal fabric does in a close up. Also, both pictures lack "details" (for a lack of a better word). You know, those silly things that you don't notice at first but makes you able to distinguish one room from another. Like in Gothic 2 (I'm replaying it right now, which is why I am using it as an example) where the alchemist has skeletons hidden under his ceiling (no idea why), the bowyer has stuffed animals on the walls and the herbalist has potions and flowers in his shelves. Gothic 2 is brimful with these tiny little details strewn everywhere, and I hope Obsidian takes the time to add this stuff to Neverwinter Nights 2. A believable world is also part of immersion..

213374U Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 They look like screenshots taken from the kind of games I can't run. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atreides Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 They look like screenshots taken from the kind of games I can't run. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, though I think I can shade it on minimum settings. What's up with the fog effects on a lot of the pictures? Maybe disabling them can reduce some of the resources needed on my rig. Spreading beauty with my katana.

Pidesco Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Yeah, everything looks strangely foggy. Is that eye candy, or is it used to keep view distance down, like in Morrowind?

SteveThaiBinh Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 The rug makes the first picture look like you're looking inside a doll house. The weave is so big (were they using hemp rope to make it?) that it looks like normal fabric does in a close up. Now that you mention it, so it does. Maybe it's a halfling-sized house? But even then... Also, both pictures lack "details" (for a lack of a better word). The potted plant by the fireplace not enough for ya? (Actually, is that a good place for a plant? Extreme heat is not good for most varieties, I think.) I like detail, too, if it can make each house feel different, as though it's been personalised at least a little. NWN suffered from huge, empty houses with long, empty corridors all the same. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now."

Jedi Master Dakari Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Even with the lack of 'personailzation' and little bits of detail that, in the long run are well worth it, it seems that Obsidy is really putting on the coal with this one. Everything just looks cleaner and smoother than TSL. And the time they are taking to make NWN2 might be a testament to it's eventual quality. Had LA given them they time they desired for TSL, it could have come out so much better than what is out now. Just looking at these NWN2 screenshots tells me that. I might be the only one who thinks so, but oh well. I think it looks pretty good. I love the town screenies. It kinda looks like a place I would actually like to visit. Oh, and I like the fog effect. It adds character quality to the environment. "Learn to harness your anger and control your fear. Dominate your emotions! But do not let them overcome you; for they can surely cause you to fall to the dark side. If you expect to win against a Sith then you need to fight like a Sith! If you do not, you will always be met with defeat." -- Jedi Master Seraphis Dakari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
