SteveThaiBinh Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 The same for lightening bolt , Lightening bolt Ooh, I remember that from PS:T. I must have used that spell an awful lot. It was one of very few that I felt I could actually control. It'll be weird having all the same icons for NWN2. Well, it'll be weird for the first twenty seconds, but then I imagine I'll get used to it. It'll be nice to have 'portraits' that actually look like my character. NWN's tiny portrait selection wasn't up to much, and it took me ages to find portraits for BG that I could live with. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now."

Volourn Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 (edited) "And hopefully they have more spells than in IWD2. NWN had some pretty cool ones that IWD2 did not and I would like to see them in NWN2." I believe, in the end, that IWD2 and NWN had about the same amount of spells. IWD2 had lots of spells, and some cool ones that I wished NWN had (and NWN2 too). And, vice versa. I figure we'll see 200+ spells. NWN1 had just about 200 spells without expansions, IIRC. IWD2 had about 300; but ti had the advantage of all the other IE games (not counting PST). Edited June 2, 2006 by Volourn DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Cantousent Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Yeah, but he sounds like a doofus. What a big, loveable doofus. I especially like how he managed to convey some excitement. My favorite was the artist fellow. When he talked about the red dragon, I was all "YES!" I mean, I haven't even played and my favorite bad guy is the red dragon. I like it when the design team sounds proud of their work.

If they had to break up the dragon into separate pieces to be able for the kind of machines OE runs on, then went far far beyond the kind of detail the engine could ever show with normalmaps Its te danger with programs like Zbrush, you get obsessed by the level of detail you can accomplish and so you get stuck in an eternal loop of "..just a little more, then its finished."

"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." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gromnir Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 keep iwd2 icons? probably not, as they is ip of interplay. am curious 'bout something. chrisA is a co-founder o' obsidian. as such he is one of the big bosses. nevertheless, josh is the lead designer on nwn2, and as such is at least s'posed to be the cracker standing behind chrisA and the other team members making sure that everybody does their work in the limited 'mount of time they has left to finish nwn2. Gromnir has once or twice been the lead on a project/case in which we were, for all intents and purposes, the boss over our boss. we has had some mixed luck with such situations and we wonders how josh handles chrisA... or if chrisA is such a model team member that he sacrifices ego for the greater good and he not really needs to be bossed. also, we assumes that chrisA is already leading on another project 'cause otherwise we not know why chrisA not simply took over leadership after the ferret departure. if Gromnir is wrong, which is very likely in this and other instances, then please discuss why it were that josh becomes lead when chrisA were already working on, and familiar with the nwn2 development and all the personel and problems attendent to that development. thank you in advance.

Gromnir did forget 'bout how you bought art resources. am suprised you wasted time and effort on coming up with new icons if you paid for old ones you has been using since ps:t in some cases. *shrug* hope the nwn2 icons looks real purty 'cause time spent on such things probably coulda' been utilized on other more pressing and important aspects.
