Dark_Raven Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 josh is screwed. he comes in late to try and salvage a project that obviously were having problems. he not get no chance to makes input when the Big Choices 'bout nwn2 were being made, but he had to be the guy who made sure that the game somebody elses envisoned gots completed by july or september or late october or whatever is new release date for nwn2. screwed. somehow josh gots some terrible luck. torn, fo3, bg3, iwd2, that midway game... all were either cancelled or pretty much hamstrung projects that never hada chance to be anything better than mediocre. add nwn2 to list? am thinking that josh gets screwed no matter what... got some kinda curse on him. josh ever tell a gypsy woman to, "#$%& off!"? joah ever bury his dfead dog in sacred indian burial ground? ever take OPRAH's name in vain? if one of the top kewl factors for nwn2 is special PrCs dresses for role-play barbie, then we is kinda worried. HA! Good Fun! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Grommie you silly man. It's just an odd coincidence. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.

Tigranes Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 The crafted items appear to be about as overpowered as those in BG2:SoA. In other words, well-balanced for most people, overpowered for hardcore D&Ders or good players. Although I expect if you crank up the difficulty level and don't powergame it could still be a fair challenge. I don't mind *too* much, esp. since it's from crafting and not... from a plot-related boss.

Blank Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 To understand why anyone would pick our game up or put it down, I set out on a three-week adventure through the highs and lows of the Neverwinter Nights 2 official campaign. There were, in fact, some lows. But, guess what, this article is meant to entice you to buy the game, so we'll skip the lows and go right to the highs. You should rest assured, though, as Obsidian's bug-fixing gnomes have constructed an antibug golem to automagically fix any and all problems I experienced during the course of my play-through. Frank and sarcastic? The game has been in good hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaftan Barlast Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Sort of off-topic, but I think Josh deserve a lot of credit for being the only dev who has the patience and calm required to actually interact with the fan community.

taks Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Do not mistake my online personality for my real world attributes. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i have nothing else to go on. besides, being my favorite source of inconsistency, lunacy and a host of other "cy"s, i feel compelled to interject such subtle (or not so) jabs when i can. it's just plain fun to pick on visceris. a note to others, i've been listening to ole visc here probably since BG1 came out in 1998. volourn and visceris used to really go at it back in the day... a good 8 years of amusement i've had. taks comrade taks... just because.

HA! Good Fun! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not that I exactly care, but isn't it a tad bit early for doom and gloom? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> josh's pre-release piece is the typical kinda advertising/hype-building you always see before games is released, so we ain't gonna get too excited. who knows how josh honestly feels 'bout game? be that as it may, Gromnir gots lots o' reasons to be concerned 'bout nwn2 going backs some 6 months now, shortly before josh took over as lead. is not early... is late. game release is only a few weeks away. if we were gonna predict doom for nwn2 we would have a very small window left during which our harbinger bit would be meaningful, 'cause after game is released... remembers torn? torn were 'posed to be released 'round christmas. in june or july of same year the bis folks did a developer chat thing... claimed that they were still shooting for christmas release. month later we heard that torn were cancelled. am not sure 'bout nwn2. honest. am not sure if it is doomed... but josh is screwed either way. already you gots the hardcore modders complaining that nwn2 is more like nwn 1.5... 'cause improvements in toolset is simply stuff the mod community had already done themselves. everything wrong on nwn2 is gonna be josh's fault, eventhough he has only been Lead Developer for a relative short time... and we is guessing that there is gonna be lots wrong with nwn2. if six months ago they gotta bring in josh to try and fix, and game were originally 'posed to be released in summer, then there were problems which probably shoulda' been addressed before josh came aboard... problems which probably gots bandage treatement as 'posed to honest to goodness fixing. too soon to predict doom? hardly. that being said, we honestly ain't predictiong doom. am simply observing that nwn2 is gonna have flaws and that josh is gonna again be linked to a flawed game. on bright side, nwn2 ain't been cancelled.

Morgoth Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I hope that after all that NWN2 hype the devs start talking about PNJ or PG. Preferably on their own goddamn boards, though they should keep all the modders at the Bio boards - fits better to the whiny mentality there I think. Rain makes everything better.
