Dark_Raven Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 awesome? which parts were awesome? seemed likes a pretty standard 3-page text-heavy commercial advertisement kinda interview. it were a nice enough advertisement, but am not sure we is gonna hold up as an "awesome" example o' interview. maybe we shows age again. am forgetting how pretty much everything is "awesome" or "extreme" nowadays. HA! Good Fun! You seem confused Grommie. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HA! Good Fun! You seem confused Grommie. agreed. Gromnir were confused 'bout what were making that an "awesome" interview. 'course xard admitted that he/she decreed awesomeness Before having read the interview. the interview is standard pre-release advertising. now maybe you thinks that the game sounds awesome based 'pon the interview, but there were nothing awesome 'bout interview. is same old questions you has seen previous to every game release... and obsidian didn't exactly break new ground wit responses neither. which begs question: does ign come up with questions or does obsidian? some celebrities, business giants & political noteworthies is notorious for doing interviews only if they has had a chance to review and ok questions ahead o' time. some folks insist on right to review and edit after the fact. heck, even the guys at 60 minutes has had to essentially do scripted interviews more than once. so, am honestly curious... were the seemingly pre-canned questions by jonric his own questions, or whether or did obsidian get input before or after the interview? *shrug* am guessing that jonric has been doing long enough to know how to keeps developers happy with appropriate questions... no need for sneaky approach. regardless, there weren't nothing awesome 'bout questions or answers. HA! Good Fun!

Kelverin Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 JOKE ENCOUNTERS ARE IN "None of our adventure areas are randomized" A little disappointed to read this, although it looks like if you use a new party with a different Class of characters there is a chance for different encounters along the way.

That is the place where overland areas would fit. The basic idea of it is from Fallout, I guess. Personally, I liked the Planescape: Torment style narrative heavy role-playing in Mask of the Betrayer and probably won't touch Storm of Zehir. This is only my personal preference and the design decision seems to be through, which is not a bad sign if you know what you are buying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But random encounters on an overland map just make sense to me. Also random encounters are as much a part of D&D as experience tables , saving thorws.....I just assumed they would be in the game. Shame on me. J1 Visa Southern California Cleaning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame on me. ??? They will be in the game, I mean, in Storm of Zehir. In adventure areas, the encounters will be planned while in overland areas, which are between adventure areas, the encounters will be randomized. So, you will be able to enjoy the benefit of the survival skills of your characters. Some of the ideas such as hidden places were already in the unfortunate project called the Black Hound.

Wombat Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 O.K. I have come across a game-play video at Gamespot, a part of which shows how the overland map work starting at 06:00. Of course, you can watch whole the video but be prepared for some minor spoilers. http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/neverwinter...tml?sid=6196650 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Raven Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Random encounters are fine, just don't get stupid with it like they did in Fallout Tactics. You couldn't go any where on that damned map without being bothered by an encounter. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.

Monte Carlo Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Looking at the overland map demo in the video, I'm expecting to see some interesting builds for wilderness recon / point-man, i.e. a Ranger / Barbarian / Rogue-type with high INT & WIS. I'm not really good at 3E uber-builds, and my first party will be venture capitalists pirates, i.e. "Wilderness Rogue" (as above, Bbn/ Rog or Rngr/ Rog possibly a Tiefling), a hard-to-kill Fighter-themed assassin, a high CHA spokesman / sorceror and a Cleric / Battle Priest.

Xard Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 lol I'm not sure has this question been answered but the combat encounters on the overland map If we meet hostiles do we: A) get in Some Generic Combat Map (Fallout, Total Wars, JRPG's etc.) or B) fights happen on the overland map. I suspect and hope it is A because I don't see how B) could work out How can it be a no ob build. It has PROVEN effective. I dare you to show your builds and I will tear you apart in an arugment about how these builds will won them. - OverPowered Godzilla (OPG) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moatilliatta Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Is it closer to Fallout or JRPGs? From what I remember of JRPGs they're quite different from the way WRPGs tend to create random encounters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect and hope it is A because I don't see how B) could work out A far more important question is whether the overland map battle transitions will be handled with a blurry zoom in of the camera, and with some stupid, over the top panning of the camera around the characters! Also, will the characters have victory poses?
