But that would have 4e.

 

How is that decent?

 

They could do it the Cryptic way and kill the dice rolls! I mean those are so old-gen!

 

 

Dammit, stupid developers are making me become as grumpy as a Codexian.

 

By "killing the dice rolls" I assume that they'll just use a more appropriate random number generator system.

 

Rolling a D20 might be cool, but it's far from perfect, especially at higher levels.

 

 

Not that I see how they would fit that into 4e

Sounds all nice and well, but what this game really needs is a singleplayer OC. Perhaps Obsidian could sign up for that while Cryptic handles the multiplayer part.

It will end up better if they focus on one aspect instead of spreading their resources too thin.

 

Too many games have been lackluster because of a tacked-on multiplayer or soulless campaign.

Can you read? I said Obsidian could handle the singleplayer while Cryptic does it's own thing, mang.

Obsidian could do stopping using someone else's engine and begin standing on its own legs.

Like Alpha Protocol you mean?

 

We all know how that end up....

 

No, Obsidian is destined to make sequels. :banghead:

Anything wrong with the Cryptic engine? Doesn't matter who's engine they're using. The overall game quality matters.

UE isn't Obsidian's engine. Plus, a failure doesn't have to stop them from making new IPs, unless they're content with just staying alive and being the mercenaries of WRPGs.

if they're good at it, why not? it pays the bills, and as long as we're satisfied (I am), they're safe :banghead:

Having two different teams design different parts of the same game is like a double disaster. Just look at what happened to Bioshock 2.

 

There's nothing stopping WotC from licensing out more games, though.

Just look at what happened to Return to Castle Wolfenstein! :banghead:

Basically you have twice as many points of failure. Not really a good idea.

 

What's the fascination with Neverwinter anyway? Forgotten Realms is pretty big...

unless they're content with just staying alive and being the mercenaries of WRPGs.
Now I'm imagining them in all sorts of guerilla war gear and it's just six kinds of awesome.

 

Just let me find that photo of Chris Avellone in the spy gears...

They're hoping the NWN name sells it ebcause of the success of the BIO/OBS series. It's why these punks have named dropped bascially every remotely successful developer of the past 2 decades.

 

Anyways, this game is gonna suck. It's D&D in name only. Absolutely pathetic.

 

1000s of hit points. LMAO Taking the dice rolls out of the game. And,a whole bunch of other crap.

DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

4e is D&D in name only!

 

:p

Gray orc light blindness, combat animations, warlock powers (from what I've read). Game killing corrupt module errors...

Just a few I could think of off the top....

In other words alleged issues you've just read about but not experienced?
