BREAKING NEWS: MCA NWN2 DESIGNER DIARY


Recommended Posts

Hmm, well, nothing really new in the text. There's the video that was posted in the other thread though, which showcases new animations. There's a couple of new screenshots too.

 

... Seeing JE trying to post on the Gamespot forums was priceless.

 

EDIT: .... Okay, maybe I shouldn't have read the Gamespot forums :)

Oh, it's more like an article. The Diary idea is probably meant to make it sound more personal, but it's not really. Still, I think it's a nice little blurb. Clearly the point is to sell the game, but we can't hold that against him. Still, I groaned when I saw the "for the people" heading.

Do those dudes get better or worse will saves when they're berserked?

Better, I suppose. When you're berserking, you've pretty much switched your brain off and are less-vulnerable to mind-affecting spells, or at least that's how I imagine it.

Where are the spell icons?

 

EDIT: Ah. Nevermind. IWD2 goodness. :)

There are no doors in Jefferson that are "special game locked" doors. There are no characters in that game that you can kill that will result in the game ending prematurely.

It seems wierd hearing/seeing/watching Josh and Feargus in person. :o

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."

look at the screen shots, the first one I think it has the spell icons on the bottom of the screen shot.

I don't like the fact that they didn't include portraits. One of the cool features of the IE games and of NWN was the portraits and the possibility to customize them. SHAME ON YOU OBSIDIAN!

Actually looking at the 2nd new screenshot - those spell icons look like they're from Torment.  I recognize magic missile, Grace's call lightning and some of Ignus's fire spells.

 

Lovely :thumbsup:

 

Actually, look at this firestorm icon from IWD2, it is identical to the one in the screenshot.

 

Firestorm

 

The same for lightening bolt ,

I missed Torment's wacky spell animations. When they didn't take forever I guess. Seeing the cutscenes for the high lvl ones was great the first few times, but they dragged on after a few times.

Torments spells were silly, and overtop. They were cool the first time. Afterwards, I just wanted to use them on those who deisgned them. It's funny that I don't mind those type of things in a FF game; but it just felt out of place in a D&D game. They seemed tacky; because it was just another way to show how 'wacky' PST was...

Are those icons taken *directly* from IWD2?

Looks like it. I wonder what the new spell icons look like, as those are all IWD2 icons
