Lets hope there aren't any more 'technical problems'. I will be asking my customary question about who will be providing the music, hope there are some good other ones asked.

Isn't that in 2 hrs?

[Jumjalum]

Crap, you're right. They had the wrong time originally down for GMT. I might go to bed in that case.

[Volourn]

NWC tried to trick me. (and everyone else).... The link doesn't lead to the official chat; but you have to enter another chat room. Hehe. :D

How misleading.

 

But it matters not, not much being said about it any way.

[Volourn]

Some good stuff being said, and it's not all that dififcult to figure out.... unless you are slow like me... "

[Jumjalum]

Yeah, nothing much new but it's cool hearing about the VFX editor and toolset.

[kirottu]

How cool was Joseph Bulock?

[Judge Hades]

Depens on the refridgeration unit.

So, transcript?

I got a cameo!

[StillLife]

Wow, I have to admit many of the things they mentioned have peaked my interest in the game quite a bit. If only slashing my wrists still didn't seem preferable to playing another FR game.

[Judge Hades]

The Forgotten Realms... The most over used setting in DnD. I would think they would try to do a decent job on the other settings but nope. ToEE sucked and DDO is superficially Ebberon.

[Volourn]

It's not overused. It's the best D&D setting, and people still want to play it so it's far from overused. Overused means it's been used too much. I beg to differ. It hasn't been used enough - epsicially since there is large parts of the Realms still rather untouched.

 

There's more to the Realms than just the area between Icewind Dale, and The Sword Coast.

I'm not a big FR fan, but I'd think a good game is a good game regardless of setting. It's all about what you do with the setting that matters.

[Ellester]

I find the FR's comfortable. It's not that exciting, but I've played plenty of games in the setting and have become knowledgeable of the setting. So I enjoy the setting because of the familiarity.

That's how I want to feel about jeans, not fantasy settings.

Actually that would be a good analogy. Fantasy settings, jeans, or whatever if. I

[Musopticon?]

I prefer setting that leave me in wonder.

 

FR just makes me go "right, dungeons."

[Atreides]

A wonderous dungeon is fine too.

[Musopticon?]

"Right, rakhshasas"

[ramza]

Has anything been said about the possibility for the player to choose whether he can get max HP at level up or not? There was an icon you could click upon in the options menu of the IWD games for that purpose. Will they do the same in NWN2?

 

I am really looking forward to that feature as it was absent from NWN1.

[Volourn]

"I am really looking forward to that feature as it was absent from NWN1."

 

Actually, I believe, if you play on easy or normal in NWN1, you get max hit points automatically. Can't say for sure as I always play on hardcore... I'm sure NWN2 will, at minimum, offer that.
