17243_1556103691 Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 (edited) How your character looks is like .1% of character creation. To me, it's irrelevant. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 1%? So by your standards they could be a 6 pixel box running around looking like Pacman? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think that's what he's saying. At 1% he would'nt mind if they were a black splotch nevermind a distinguishable humanoid. Having doodled aroun in the toolset for 2 weeks and seeing every head I cant say I agree. Sure, the elves are ugly but theyre supposed to be if you look in the 3.5 manual. The lack of any proper length female hair is a slight concern but not huge. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've been doodling too, and he has a point, they all have blank looking stares and flat featureless faces. <_< Edited October 31, 2006 by Guest
Volourn Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 "Well; maybe one may care how he looks like. Do you pick the ugliest possible look for yourself and then stare at it for 40 hours for fun?" I pick whichever random one I feel lik eit. I never strees too much over that aspect. Sorry to dissapoint. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Kaftan Barlast Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 I was just thinking of something, a lot of stores in the US havent even recieved their copies from the distributors yet but things are running smoothly in Israel to the point of alot of people getting early copies?!!

I certainly didn't expect it to be worse here Maybe this time, instead of extra faces or some garbage like that, the GAME will be good. Imagine that!

Well; sry; but some people do care in a RPG where the char does NOT take up 1/50th of the screen, but 1/3rd (plus gets zoomed in during cutscenes; instead standing there with text on the foreground)! Evolution of games makes new player wishes... and if you can't make up for them; don't make such a game (see Combat Animations)!

Girias_Solo Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 (edited) Who gives a crap? Listen to yourselves, your carrying on about some cosmetic trash. WHAT ABOUT THE GAME? Did any of you actually ask the first poster what the game is like? Do any of you care? or is having lovely blue eyes, perhaps a nice filigree necklace more important? No wonder the RPG scene has been going to hell in a handbasket for years. My apologies to anyone here who actually didn't start crying about this inane thing during this thread.

Sand Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 (edited) What?!?! Graphics is the only thing we can, at least I can, discuss about it because I haven't actually played the game yet. Also asking the OP about the gameplay of NWN 2 wouldn't be discussing the topic, the graphic avatars of our characters. Stay on topic or the mods will lock the thread.

And obviously the much better graphics. I mean, expecting some more features is always legitimate, of course. but suggesting that CC in NWN1 was better is really not fair in any way.

What you can't do in NWN2 what you were able in NWN1 -not mentioning clothes, only char- are modifying weight, having tatoos...and having female/nice faces <_< ) Edited October 31, 2006 by jorian
Girias_Solo Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 (edited) If its off topic to comment about the game itself, fair enough. I take back that part of my post. As far as I could see, it is a titled post claiming that NWN2 sucks. Honestly though, I did believe that a large part of the posters here didn't think that having an Oblivion face creator was the height of RPG goodness. So far, we have one kid from Israel to go with about the character creation of NWN2. Hardly an authority to run with IMHO. So far we know that it has more options than NWN1. It doesn't have the 2D portraits. It has more options however, and because the first poster has a poor graphics card, this probably wouldn't help matters either in the face stakes. NWN1 did have 2 body types, and a very poor tattoo system. So far 'apparently' this NWN2 doesn't have either. Whether this stops you buying the game, who can say. I will bow out of this one though. If graphics of a characters head are the focus of the sadness in this one, I won't last long. Edited October 31, 2006 by Girias_Solo
deganawida Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 He's a troll becuase he thought KOTOR2 was a dissapointment and hopes NWN2 is better? WOWSERS! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, because for months he's attacked everything about NWN2 and gone after Sawyer a few times ('course, Josh went right back after him). He stated months ago that he wasn't getting the game, wasn't interested in it, so that means he's just here to expunge some adolescent rage at his disappointment in KotOR2. That makes him a troll in my book.
Sand Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 It is just one minor aspect so I won't condemn the game on it. I just wish I can get my hands on the game today without using D2D.
