alanschu Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Hopefully it comes out after my Civ4 addiction wanes.
Haitoku Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 I like the idea. I just hope it isn't open-ended to the point were the story suffers.
GhostofAnakin Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Sounds like an interesting concept. Atleast from the descriptions. We'll see once the game is actually shipped how closely the end product matches the desired effect.

karka Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 It's too bad that game will be out when i am in the army.

alanschu Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Been a long time since I played BG2. Refresh me.
Volourn Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Viconia. Town square. While she didn't neccessarily do anything to the PC she pretty much fits the description above. And, in fact, depending on how your BG1 interaction took place in BG1 she might very well have done soemhting to the PC in the past. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

It's been a bit since I played and her backstory is foggy, but wasn't she a Drizzt Do'Urden type "good" drow who just seemed hated for her race, rather than her actions?

Judge Hades Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Sounds almost too good to be true. Lets not get ourselves taken in by the hype, okay folks.
Volourn Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 (edited) "Was she actually bad, though? It's been a bit since I played and her backstory is foggy, but wasn't she a Drizzt Do'Urden type "good" drow who just seemed hated for her race, rather than her actions?" She worshipped Shar. Hence she was no Drizzt. Yeha, thoguh, a big reason why she was being burned was becuase she was a drow.. That's good enoguh reason to burn her for evil plus as a cleric of SAhar there is no doubt she committed her share of evil deeds. Remember, I didn't say the situations were exactly the same; but that they were similar. Edited January 12, 2006 by Volourn DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
alanschu Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Sounds like the NWN2 has a bit more substance to it however.
Judge Hades Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Innocent til proven guilty. I don't know why but my paladin always saved that drow, even tried to redeem her and to forsake her evil ways.
Diogo Ribeiro Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 The singleplayer campaign is shaping up to be pretty interesting, although it's still on a "I'll believe it when I see it" stage for me.
karka Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 What we know about the controls people? Like Kotor or BG? I mean, shall we press the tab key to switch party members or will clicking that guy be enough?
Volourn Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 (edited) "Sounds like the NWN2 has a bit more substance to it however." Agreed. From the description, it sounds like she is an atagaonist of the PC's early on before the trial commences.. I just pointed out that the idea isn't new. In fact, I'm sure BG2 isn't the first game to use the idea either. It just came to mind, and I didn't wnat to hear how the idea was super duper original or soemthing. so I cut it off at the knees. " P.S. Plus, I'm a BIo fanboy as you know and needed to pump their games up. LOL "Innocent til proven guilty." She worshipped Shar. That's enough proof for her guilt.

Judge Hades Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Yeah, I agree. I am still expecting to see a rapid leveling phat lewt campaign like the KotORs and NWN 1.
Ellester Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 To me it sounds like they are following the IWD formula. You are not the chosen ones, you are just a group of standard adventurers who happen to be at the right place at the right time for an adventure. A pumped up version, though. Sounds good, hopefully it plays as well as it sounds. Life is like a clam. Years of filtering crap then some bastard cracks you open and scrapes you into its damned mouth, end of story. - Steven Erikson
alanschu Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 I'd consider BG2 to be the grand-poomba of receiving phat lewt.
Judge Hades Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 BG2 isn't even as close as NWN and its expansions.
alanschu Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 (edited) I dunno. I remember having full inventories of +4/+5 items...for an entire party of 6. Not only that, but I could slay vampires (and dragons too) at my leisure. Edited January 12, 2006 by alanschu
Darque Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 My desire for this game just increased alot (w00t)
Judge Hades Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 I will admit that there are many aspects of this game that will be an imrpovement of its previous incarnation, but lets not hype up this game too much. It is still just another DnD game.

Not only that, but I could slay vampires (and dragons too) at my leisure. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You got that right I was able to solo most monsters at the end of the game. Firecrag (sp?).. no problem
