I will get mine when it gets shipped to me. I should have done the One Day Shipping option. :lol:

I guess it's available today, Kaft. But I probably won't be receiving my specially ordered Waukeen ring & cloth map bling version until the 1st (at the earliest) as they don't sell the Lawful Good/Chaotic Evil version here - just the standard CD, standard DVD and Limited Edition DVD.

If it was shipped early and held off the shelves, then folks will likely have it in the next couple hours. Otherwise, probably by mid-day. Personally, I hope to pick mine up after work.

When you pre-order here, they send the game to you so youll recieve it the day its released(friday for me). Do they make you wait over there? Bad form.

Where I ordered mine from, they have 1 day, 2 day or normal shipping (3-5 days). I was cheap and chose the normal shipping.

Bought the game on Direct2Drive, and tried to update. The autoupdater downloaded the patch but then aborted saying some NWN2 file did not match, etc. etc. So, despite the fact that they said the direct2drive version was compatible with the first patch it isn't. When you click on technical support on the NWN2 forums it takes you to the Atari site that has no NWN2 category. So, it is either very well hidden or there isn't any technical support. Hopefully that first patch that doesn't work isn't for any gamebreaker bugs or I'm screwed

Don't feel too bad. When I ordered mine I selected the fastest possible shipping method ...but when it cam to checking out, it said it wasn't available and stuffed me with standard cheapy ground shipping. <_<

Sometimes the D2D downloads aren't compatible with developer patches, but all is not necessarily lost. You can actually get updates to work on them with some ISO image trickery which tends not to be condoned by the publishers. Without explicitly saying anything, trying visiting the Oldblivion forums and research how to get the D2D version of Oblivion compatible with the oldblivion user patch.

Best bard. He's more than capable of beating ass in melee. He did invent stage diving, after all :)

 

Just got my $60 in cash that I will use to buy my copy of the game in 15 hours. I have a problem in that I'm going to buy it before I go to school, and I'm going to be at school for 3 1/2 hours, which isn't that bad, but it's certainly going to feel excruciating with that brand new, packaged game that's going to be sitting in my car the whole time :) And I already ditched class once this week (there are 2 classes a week)

bards can be the most fun basic class to roleplay :)

 

 

(note to myself: next-time pnp char should be a kobold bard,

Will this game run on a laptop with 1.83 GHz and 1GB of RAM?    I have no idea what kind of graphics card I'm using.

 

But the laptop itself is only about 3 months old or so.  I didn't get it for gaming obviously, it's for work.  I just don't want to wait to play this game.  :)

 

You would've needed to know two things you omitted. Sawyer should've known what you meant, and didn't try. Before discussing video card, you needed to discuss actual processor CORE Silicon. That's because Core 2 Duo is comparable to P4 CPUs running almost twice as fast. If you have the newest Intel CPU in there, you are well above the 3.0 GHz comparable point.

 

BUT no one can answer the question with certainty, as long as you avoid finding out what video it has (very doubtful you have anything good enough). There are tons of ways to find out.

 

Which brings up the question of WHY both Atari and Obsidian continue to avoid posting any official System Requirements Charts on either of the two web sites?

What are you talking about? System specs have been out for ages, most retailers have them on their sites. They even have a list of compatible grahics cards

Let's have a LINK to a Chart that either Atari or Obsidian is keeping up to date. The changes have not been reflected on the Wiki site, nor at the SR Test site. Where have you seen the newest data out in the open, not buried in some old tattered message thread?

lol, no, I didn't notice you were one and the same, sorry.

 

Seems like your information + the older lists give enough of a good idea, tho. What does the gamebox say, for those who have it? Wouldn't that be "official?" Or are you looking for an officially sanctioned cards-supported type of list rather than just min/max system recomendations?
