Another NWN2 Movie

[Tigranes]

I'm not judging their character or anything, by the way - or not even their dialogue. Just the voice acting. The dwarf had the potential to be good but stressed the wrong parts and generally sounded forced to me. If I closed my eyes I would not imagine I was in the room with the dwarf, but rather with a man in a studio.

 

I liked Annah, but that tiefling's voice would probably grate after a while. But I was talking about the quality of fovoice acting, not the voice itself - in terms of that, the dwarf was fine IMO.

[Diamond]

I thought that both drarf's and tiefling's voices were OK, though some of other NPCs sounded artificial (esp. tiefling cutscene).

 

And Volourn, I didn't say I don't like Annah's character, in fact it is one of my favorites (and not because she was a little girl who had sex with her father). Nevertheless, I just don't want to see characters being recycled, I hope tiefling will be something different. You, on the other hand, seem to reserve special hate for this type, just like Hades and Christianity.

 

P.S.

NWN1 battle music wasn't awesome, I hope it doesn't return.

guh, it's times like this I wish my computer knew how to handle codecs. Even DivX is pleading ignorance on my machine.

[Pidesco]

I have to say I quite liked the graphics. The only thing I wasn't too impressed about were the character's heads. Seemed wooden and lacked detail.

[Oerwinde]

Did anyone else find they were trying to play the game while watching the video? I almost clicked on a dialogue option and tried using my mouse wheel to zoom out.

 

Also, I hope the NWN combat music is just a placeholder. I hated the combat music in NWN.

[Llyranor]

The toolset will allow you to choose NWN1/2 music for your mods, but I was hoping the OC would use completely original music. I'm hoping it's placeholder too.

 

The new samples are quite nice, though.

Get VLC at videolan.org. It's a mediaplayer that has built-in support for all major codecs (and a lot of minor ones). That should play it without problem (unless it's a quicktime or real-file, then you need the corresponding player).

Unfortunately, with every passing day, my interest in NWN2 is decreasing.

[metadigital]

I like the fact that the combat turns are evident. Really good job there.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Agree 100%

There seems to be a tendency for the enemy AI to cause enemies to attack the same unit.  Some slight AI change to moderate that might be nice.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Wouldn't it make more sense for all the enemy to concetrate on one target?

[Dark_Raven]

Music will be both returning NWN1 tracks, and new ones. NWN1 music was awesome. Hoepfully, the new music will continue that trend.

 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Nah NWNs music was tolerable. Not awesome. You want awesome, go for IWD or Bloodlines.

How sad.

 

Mine on the other hand is increasing.

You may be right. But it doesn't look realistic. Also, there may be a wizard or archer or theif about.

 

Don't rear and flank attacks get bonuses?

 

How does that impact the situation?

 

I am not brushed up on my rules.

You were following the game too closely, watching too much trailers, vids and interviews. I, on the other hand, didn't do it for quite a while, so my interest in NWN2 is revived.

May be i should take a break too.

[Colrom]

It looks like the intermediate blood sprays (those not associated with death animations) are for attacks of opportunity - which are otherwise not annimated. It might be better if they were toned down some, so they are more distinguishable and less dire looking.

 

The more I watch it the more I see to like.

[Zagor]

I don't know what you people are talking about, the battle animations looks fine to me

 

Can't wait for this game, my interest increased even more after this video.

 

I like the tiefling, the situation with the soldiers reminded me of when you saved Viconia in BG2.

I hope we can have a romance with her

 

Only thing I didn't like so much, was the troll. It seemed to have changed for the worse compared to the troll on the NWN2 homepage.

[Lare Kikkeli]

animations look fine to me too. this is, after all, a TB game. the animations should represent it.

[Volourn]

No, it isn't turn based.

[Pidesco]

But the actions of the characters are.

[Judge Hades]

No, it isn't turn based.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Last time I checked it was turn base. All actions take place in a six second turn with actions going in order of the highest initiative to the lowest.

[Lare Kikkeli]

volo just likes to go into semantics. true, it is real time with pause, but the combat happens in turns. which is exaclt why the animations are ok, as they show when your character is attacking instead of having stupid filler animations ala IE.

[Volourn]

It is not turn base. Neither is NWN1 9also the Aurora), KOTOR, or the IE. It's RT w/pause, or psuedo TB.

 

Here's a test:

 

Leave the game unpaused and go away for 10 minutes. What will he happening when you return? The game will play itself - either you will be dead or the enmies will be dead.

 

In conclusion, it's NOT turn base.

 

It has similarties with turn base combat; but it's NOT turn base combat.

 

Game over.

What if you turn on auto pause?
