Atreides Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 I bet Magical Volo was waiting for a toolset that was powerful enough to express his awesomeness. And Warlocks. Spreading beauty with my katana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musopticon? Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 All's good. ^_ ^ I sincerely hope that, if it's Soule, he will do something entirely different than his usual soundscapes. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

Llyranor Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 It's not Soule, he's already said he's not doing it. It *could* be Inon Zur. He signed up with Atari a while back for an 'award-winning epic RPG series'. Could be BG3, but yoink. Whoever Atari got for TOEE (some no-name guy) did a pretty good job, for what little I heard of its soundtrack. Soule *is* becoming pretty stale.

Musopticon? Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 (edited) It could be Griskey, I guess. Here's hoping its Zur. IWD 2 was good.

StillLife Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Bad Stuff: - Silly "Death" rule in OC ala the silly KOTORs "OMG, I just got my head lopped off by a lightsaber, I think I'm gonna pass out!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volourn Posted May 21, 2006 Author Share Posted May 21, 2006 Aye, it makes sense in some cases where your head isn't being chopped off or whatever... but, otherwise, meh. Hopefully, Obsidian can come through with expansions, and post release support outside of just a couple of patches. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Volourn Posted May 21, 2006 Author Share Posted May 21, 2006 Yes, for the npcs, and it was lame there too. However, when the main npc died, it was game over. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirottu Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Well, I think this "death" rule makes more sense in D&D game than in Kotors. I mean D&D already has that ridiculously overpowered resurrection spell. It really should be level 9 spell. This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.

D&D already has the bleed rule, it alreayd has ressurection, it alreayd has other ways toid eal with this. This is plain tripe. I hated respawn in NWN OC... and, this is just as bad but in a different way - espicially when in NWN2 you'll have 3 companions so you'll have others to heal you if you are bleeding or raise you if you did. And, no, the ressurection spell is not 'ridiculiusly overpowered'. Only someone who knows very little about D&D would suggest that nonsense. P.S.S. Hmm.. I wonder if they are using the bleeding rule in the OC... DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volourn Posted May 21, 2006 Author Share Posted May 21, 2006 (edited) "but power over death should be something that only chosen few have." Um.. That's exactly the way it is. 9th level + clerics don't grow on trees. Not to mention that in pnp, it takes a heavy penalty along with it (1 level which can be costly), and expensive material component IIRC, and most npc clerics don't go freely casting for everyone. Also, IIRC, and this might be different in 3.5 (or even 3/0 as it's been awhile) you cna only be ressurected a maximum of whatever your constitition is before you are permenately wiped out. And, yeah, I hope they still have ressurection/raise dead spells in NWN2. I've asked this question on the NWN2 Boards...

Judge Hades Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 (edited) Oh bloody hell. Why the lame arse death rules Obsidian? 'Man, I though NWN 1 was lame but this is ridiculous. 0 Hit Points means dead. Finito. END OF GAME. I don't need my hand held while playing a computer game. This is just pathetic. THANK YOU OBSIDIAN FOR MAKING CLERICS WORThLESS! No respawning. No being knock out. 0 hit points is death.

Volourn Posted May 21, 2006 Author Share Posted May 21, 2006 "0 Hit Points means dead." Huh? Doesn't that mean 'near death'... You forgot the bleeding rules.... even thoguh, they're technically optional; they are really popular. I don't know of any group who doesn't use them in pnp... I tend to think of bleeding as D&D's version of life support. LOL :D P.S. I wouldn't say clerics are worthless even with this silly rule; but it does suck...
