Gorth Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I think you're all missing the point. Yes, this is a thread to rant about the missing dial to adjust the boob size on female avatars.

It seems to be of ultimate importance for young male players. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Finally, someone who understands. It's good to have you around, Gorthy. I love you, man...sexually. I want the game, and it still hasn't arrived. I didn't even think of D2D when I pre-ordered. The game sounds excellent so far, though the apparent shortcomings of the character creation system are a slight let down, and I can't wait to get immersed in the story. Then again, I'm the kinda guy who plays female Night Elf characters in WoW because I prefer a chick's ass and chest bouncing in front of me than, say, a dude's. I'm shallow that way. And, Pop's a jerk......in a good way. Annnnd, Sand-ades is actually being one of the more rational people in the thread. I believe that's worthy of note. Also, Lyr should be a game reviewer. Also-er, I'd love to play MP with any of you guys, if you can stomach me constantly asking you for "h4w7 p1x!". Nekkid pix.

Big Bottom Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Well, it took me about 1h30 to finish. Granted, it's way way shorter than that, but I spent a lot of time just exploring the scenery. The new heightmaps make the exteriors really nice, and the way the placeables are used made the only interior I've seen so far seem unique. Technically-speaking, it's not best graphics ever material - and it doesn't matter anyway since I'm running it on uber-minimum settings. From a modder's perspective, though, looking at all of this is a great learning experience. I wouldn't be surprised if I spend a lot more time on the OC than the average player, given how much time I'm going to waste analyzing the environments. Gameplay-wise, there isn't much to see in the tutorial. You're basically learning the ropes of how the game works. NWN1 players won't have much of a learning curve to go over. I quite like the new interface, though. The free camera option is quite nice, and lets you move the camera freely, like in the old IE games. I've found myself gravitating back to the old topdown view, though. You can set the AI of your party members off, which was the first thing I did. Otherwise, you can set various AI options for them. Also, when you hold-right-click and make the context-sensitive menu pop up (akin to Fallout), you can choose orders for your party members (I don't remember them correctly since I didn't use it, but I think there were things like 'heal me' or 'attack my target' or whatever). In terms of story, well, essentially, it's some festival, and you're out to win in various activities. The writing is quite entertaining so far. Not mindblowing or anything, nor is it supposed to be, given the setting. This is already more than I can say from many other games, simply from the tutorial. Some of the NPCs are quite nice - particularly the wizard dude. Talking a bit to your party members and learning a bit about them was a nice touch, in terms of getting to know your 'childhood friends'. It's a nice way to set the background, before the real adventure begins. Of course, it IS a tutorial, and I'm judging it as such. I particularly like how choosing my background (mage's apprentice) put me in the shoes of the wizard dude's apprentice. It's a little touch, yet a very nice one. Having these little changes catering to your unique choices during character creation = rewarding. The voiceacting is at least competent, though some could probably find it annoying or whatnot. I've found it from 'good enough' to 'fits character well'. The music is, of course, phenomenal. But I already knew this from the preorder toolset. Numerical ratings are irrelevant.

Pop Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 And, Pop's a jerk......in a good way. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, well, being a counterphobic type 6 with a 4 wing on the enneogram, I can be hardly faulted for ruffling feathers. They don't call us Devil's Advocates for nothing. But getting back on topic, I fully expect to be underwhelmed by the appearance portion of character creation.
