Anyone See those NWN2 Beta Pics at NWN2 News?

[17243_1556103691]

Mother related insults, oh my, we've surely reached a new high in internet-bickering, such originality, such grace, I've seen many flamers, but you, kid, you're a true great, one of the last unfortunately, for while other age and grow, you're destined to remain a schlocky schlock oozing ADD power-monkey, paws of steel, now please, benchmark me to eternity, you AD&D-loving, red-blooded hunk of man, why I bet those ladies in your village|town|city dream only of you, you and your golden 20-sided dice, bling-bling, the ladies dream, bling-bling.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

I don't own any dice, do you?

 

And yeah because that whole "you're gay" thing wasn't stale enough or anything.

 

I actually didn't start "flaming" in this place at all. A few took exception to my words and instead of debating diplomatically, started hurling grade school barbs like so much monkey dung.

I'm sorry, but you see, there's a problem here and that problem's you, yes, I'm sure you're a perfectly nice chap in real life, maybe even own a dog, you a dog person? Anyway, I've seen this happen before and trust me, it's always the quiet ones, there's a disease nowadays called fanboyitis, you might've heard it referred to as FPRS (Fanboy Post-Release Syndrome) or "general assholery in regards to the patient's object of affection", that's a little in-joke of ours, net-medical-specialist, shush. What this "disease" does is cause the infected creature, God help his soul, to blurt nonsensical gibberish, drivel or hogwash, to bolt his eyes and ears shut, metaphorically speaking obviously, to the world out large and repeat his outdated mantra ad nauseam out of an honest, heartfelt love. You see the problem with fanboyitis is that, well, it's bloody annoying, see, it doesn't only affect the carrier man-thing, it also makes the surrounding children|adults manifest loudly as if some tit had just shouted drivel in their, metaphorical, right ear. Which incidentally just happened.

 

And, yes, I do own some dice, but they're the usual variety, I've refrained from participating in obscure nerdom rituals. Did me some good, I'd wager.

You aren't very good at sarcasm.

 

On a side note - Do these needlessly wordy rants usually work for you? Because it isn't now.

..But seriously, back on topic, if such a thing is possible. I really doubt anything obsidian does can make NWN2 look worse than NWN. The character models (from head to toe) were a joke in the original.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Outside of the low poly models, I thought the halflings, dwarves and ogres looked like every illustration or painting I'd seen on them up to NWN's release.

[Volourn]

This thread rocks!

 

And, NWN's graphics looked good when it came out (certainly better than the brown poo that passed for graphics in MW, anyways), and it still looks good now.

 

I'm sure NWN2 graphics will look as well.

 

Either way, graphical importance to a game's quality is overrated.

 

 

P.S. I didn't mind the NWN inventoiry 'tetris' system. I think it was great. However, there were too many blocks though. The inventory should only have 1 screen so you have to actually manage your inventory. NWN2 going back to IE type inventory where full plate = potion is a retarded step back.

NWN character models looked fine. The biggest beef (and, what Arkan is probably buggered about) is that they were blocky which hurt their quality.

[Baley]

Oh, I'm very good at sarcasm, terrific even, of course, that was a mere addendum to further a point, or just to exercise my vocabulary, I'd leave you to decide but I fear for your well-being, all that knowledge and wordy-bollocks, it might just make your little brain snap, I wouldn't want a death on my conscience, so yes, I do have a point, and I have not even for a moment forgotten it underneath this game of words and mirrors, oh yes, you're a boring fanboy, with nothing interesting to say, so please, be a gent and shoo.

You got me there, I'm a "fanboy" indeed. With all 13 of my posts in the Obsidian forums to your 4,000 + posts ..lol.

[17243_1556103691]

Edit; some bolding to make the obvious known to the oblivious...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Right, I responded to the flames..and?

FAILURE

 

The oblivious does not seem to capture the obvious... even if it IS obvious and altered to make it even more obvious...

 

*summon Hades*

We can only counter this by adding in it's own kind...

Possibly. To say they were blocky, though, is an understatement. They were very much blocks in and of themselves. :ph34r:

I bet I could benchpress every person who has ever visited this forum including the entire OE and Atari staff at the same time. You would just have to bunch up so I could get a decent grip.

[17243_1556103691]

Brilliant work, Marlowe, of course I'm not the one defending or attacking a game, fellating or attacking developers, bitching and whining about said game and making silly comparisons a five year old girl rapping bout bitches and hoes would sneer at. So, maybe I'm not a fanboy, and maybe, just maybe I hang around this hellhole for the mind-bending discussions found in music, books and movie threads. Oy. Oy.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

So I'm a fanboy becuase I didn't like this pixelated head Hero Headshot NWN2 and stressed the importance of overall vision and style ?

 

You jumped on the bandwagon and fell off as soon as you got on. If you were a trial lawyer, and this was your case evidence, you'd be court appointed in a laughable tax bracket. Back to the drawing board you go.

[Baley]

...ZZZ. No, you're a puzzled little fanboy because you were acting like a jerk about it, all barking and shrieking, jumping at the developer's throat with your demands and indignant ravings. Destroying the series' good name, aren't they? The bastards. But that's not why I commented on your fiery post, nah, I just fancied your original input into this world of flame. And I see you're insisting on staying, and thus not shooing, no biggie. Good luck, true believer and may your love for NWN never wither, for while humans come and go, it will forever be with you.

 

I'm gonna take a nap, maybe go for a walk, pretentious posts filled with pretentious words and pretentious ideas give me the heebie-jeebies, especially when those posts are of my own making. Yikes, I think I'm contaminated, oh Gosh, what to do what to do.

Thanks for playing.

 

 

Let's keep it civil, boys and girls and even younger people.
