How come every single computer game person Ive ever heard talks in the exact same way when giving a demo?

All's good. ^_ ^

 

I sincerely hope that, if it's Soule, he will do something entirely different than his usual soundscapes.

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.

It could be Griskey, I guess.

 

Here's hoping its Zur. IWD 2 was good.

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. :)

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. :)

"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."

 

Actually, it makes less sense in D&D. 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...

"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...

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.

"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...
