September 18, 200817 yr I would hope multiplayer is incorporated. I played NWN2, and I didn't really enjoy the OC until I also played the OC with my girlfriend. Sometimes a gaming experience can be made more enjoyable depending on who you are playing with. And sometimes, a gaming experience can be made less enjoyable by trying to please everybody. Obsidian's heritage is in single-player games. I would expect them to give multiplayer as much attention as the Deus Ex 1 team did (they released MP play in a patch).
September 18, 200817 yr And sometimes, a gaming experience can be made less enjoyable by trying to please everybody. If multiplayer as a design goal is implemented early on, I can't see that feature being much of an issue, especially if some of the existing code from Neverwinter Nights 2 can be used. Obsidian's heritage is in single-player games. Obsidian Entertainment is not Black isle; and the last time I checked I wasn't stuck gaming perpetually in a time warp in the late 90s and at the turn of this century. Neverwinter Nights 2 illustrates that Obsidian Entertainment is quite capable of producing multiplayer games, and the persistent worlds that exist are a testament to that fact. I would expect them to give multiplayer as much attention as the Deus Ex 1 team did (they released MP play in a patch). I couldn't possibly care less what the Deus Ex 1 team did. I care about what Obsidian can do. However, if Obsidian states they can't code multiplayer without leaving the rest of game unpolished, then so be it. Edited September 18, 200817 yr by Webslinger

If multiplayer as a design goal is implemented early on, I think this is the crucial point here. It's a big big IF. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
September 19, 200817 yr well, we're already WAY PAST that treshold 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)
