Rhomal Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 As promised I hunted down a copy of CG magazine. The bad news is the edition we posted about yesterday was not on the stands yet. The good news it the current issue had a one page (more or less) spread on the NWN 2 toolset! Lot's of NEW information, but I will, for our new community members repeat existing tidbits. http://www.nwn2news.net/modules/news/article.php?storyid=794 Admin of World of Darkness Online News News/Community site for the WoD MMORPG http://www.wodonlinenews.net --- Jericho sassed me so I broke into his house and stabbed him to death in his sleep.

Atreides Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Thanks! Really appreciated "Water physics" - are there any water-based spells in D&D? Spreading beauty with my katana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llyranor Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Good stuff. Hmm, about the interiors having tilesets, I wonder if that applies to caverns as well. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveThaiBinh Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 No dialogue loops? You mean we'll actually have to pay attention during the dialogue? It'd better be worth it. Water physics means splashes and ripples, right? I think it's time to accept the horselessness of NWN2 and move on. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now."

ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Perhaps more along the lines of a water elemental. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now.

metadigital Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I'm sure you'll be able to reset the dialogue, to read it all again, if necessary. (Well, I hope so ... even the old text adventures do that.) Water Physics means refractions (vertex shading) and reflections (pixel shading) for water-covered surfaces. Also it might include slowing movement through a river. Horsies will be there, just as Ornks.

Rhomal Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 New Ferret crafting interview posted... see the front page for gory details. Sounds MMOG-ish with D&D mixed in. Very interesting...

Volourn Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Crafting sounds good overall; but no experience point cost for it? BOOO! There should be a cost outside of gold/items to craft powerful magical items. Not good; not good at all. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Haitoku Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Why should crafting cost experience points? This game sounds great... I want to buy it. But there are two things I'm dreading... 1. The wounds of Neverwinter Nights OC run deep... I don't want this game to play like it! 2. This game will be buggy upon release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volourn Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Because it's supposed to be a part of the 'empowering process'. Crafting magic items is not as simple as typic of crafting a normal weapon for example. It takes a part of the creator to empower it... this is illustrated by the loss of experience points. It's also why the more powerful the item; the more xp it takes. It's for the same reason certain powerful spells cost experience points to cast. The process drains the catser or item creator. That's why. P.S. The OC was good. Better than 90% of the trash that passes for RPGs that's for sure. P.S.S. NWN's gameplay is amongst the best ever for RPGs. Only the FOs, IE games, Ultima, and a few others match up with it in this area, and the IE games are lacklustre in comaprison due to the lack of game play options. P.S.S.S. There'll be bugs; but I doubt it will be that bad. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
