I know... But only at very high levels, don't forget. I was just making a suggestion.

I guess it is reasonable for Assassins,didn't even think of them when I posted, maybe rangers and rouges at epic levels. When you said almost every Dex based class I was suddenly assulted by images of rouges, rangers, monks, duelists, and about five other newly added classes that I cant name.

Anyhow, I'm not buying NWN2, only got number one for Layo, and if its staying in one, so am I.

I also bought it, doesn't run as well as NWN1 on my PC (what a surprise...). Though after cutting out some of that eye-candy from it, like mapped terrain and not having everyting else at maximum, it runs pretty well at 1280x1024 resolution. And it sure is pretty compared to the first part of the series. I guess I shall just have to invest to some PCI-E hardware now, but that was bound to happen at some point anyways.
It does have changes made to the spells, skills and feats and whatnots. But what happened with NWN1, can happen to NWN2 as well as someone already said on this topic, that being that the system is going to change per the consumers' wishes and all.. I guess I'll just have to wait on that.

Fun playing it though, the game really sucks me in

Rouges don't get Hips, Assasins do at 8th, rangers do at 17 BUT it only works out doors. Besides the sadow dancer, I don't see any more classes that get this one.

I got the camra angle to work like NWN 1 does, by going to options/game play and setting camra angle to Top down. Set Camera move speed all the way up. Then when in game I togle the camera angles with the * key.

From the character sheet you can set how your character and Kronies act with the behavior tab. Togle "defend master" if you don't want your cronies to follow you when you are leading a few enemy back to an ambush in true layo tactics fasion. If you don't micro manage these options the kronies are on constant drunken dwarf charge mode.

*still bitter about atari giving it to obsidian, and them bending over for Microsoft*

Originally they planned for directx only on windows, so they could port it to xbox360 and leech more money. But that fizzled, no longer going to be ported.

Dissapointed. OpenGL 2.0 is so much better and prettier than directx, and allow for Mac users and linux users to play games.

//end rant

I have no interest to play nwn2.

Its got the potential to be made into something good.
Especially that pretty spell system *Shrugs*

I want my NWN1 interface

Oh.. and I think humans should lose their HiPS at age 60...

If you don't have a high end machine with a high end graphics card I wouldn't bother buying NWN2. I have a decent machine with an average video card and it runs ssssslllllooooooooowwwwwww. Even with all of the graphics settings set to low. I liked the character generation and the tutorial but I will probably wait until I upgrade my video card to play any more. It's almost as though they made the game for future technology. *shrugs* A lot of people are complaining in the NWN2 forums that the game runs very slow.

JIKOLB!

*Doc-Holiday casts "Curse of a Billion Hugs" on jikolb*

Woooo!

"one hug...two hugs...three hugs...four hugs..."
*sighs*
"How long is this going to take Doc?"
"...five hugs...six hugs..."

Bought a high end Machine 6 months ago and Oblivion runs on maximum details smoothly with HDR and everything.

NWN 2 lags behind at 15-22 frames per second on avarage it does not even have HDR only Bloomshader! Yuck. Can't even return the bloody thing at the shop cos once the seal its broken theres no refund, so Meh.
I am very disapointed.

Doc-Holiday · « **Reply #31 on:** November 03, 2006, 09:31:22 am »

Give some time for patches and what not

Not to compare the Romans to NWN2... but they didn't do so well in a day either

Remember NWN1 really took off after CEP was introduced.. anyone remember that?

Remember life BEFORE CEP?

Yeah so it's not the perfect dream we all had.. but that's the way NWN1 was.. it's a raw game right now.. and it'll be us who craft it

yeah it's requirements are a bit crazy.. but I do remember trouble with NWN1 when it came out... constant complaints about the camera angles and the grafics and such and so forth

Doc-Holiday · « **Reply #32 on:** November 03, 2006, 09:32:14 am »

Any how.. I'm going to reserve judgement for a year and see what happens.

ItalianDDog · « **Reply #33 on:** November 03, 2006, 09:44:18 am »

Please tell me the game have AA options?

Doc-Holiday · « **Reply #34 on:** November 03, 2006, 10:18:13 am »

Anti Aircraft options?

Doc-Holiday · « **Reply #35 on:** November 03, 2006, 10:18:28 am »

Ooh.. right.. Anti Aliasing.. no..none

Thak · « **Reply #36 on:** November 03, 2006, 11:08:48 am »

Aye Doc true, heh. In a year we might all be able to run it and then... who knows...

Talan Va'lash · « **Reply #37 on:** November 03, 2006, 01:54:42 pm »

NWN2 is based on D&D 3.5 rules while NWN is based on 3.0

Hence most of the spell/class/feat differences that have been mentioned previously.

Oh did I mention Bards get alot of their power back? Woo!

I should mention that killing things is still the corner stone of the economy

And thanks Talan... unfortunatly they did not head my advice and include "Talan's Epic Gloves of the Furry"... I was bitterly dissapointed

Honestly... we ought to have that in Layo.. one of the legendary items... gives 1/- cold resistance and can only be worn by lv 21 or greater...

*WARNING! Stop reading now! SAVE YOUR SOUL!*

They should be the absolute zenith of fashion! Wearing them elevates you into the very stratosphere of High Society! Kingdoms would be humbled in the presence of such a glorious display of style and color coordiation! Why the gods themselves would diefy you on the spot for having such unparraleled fashion sense! You would instantly create the portfolio of Hand Coverings!... Glovers across Layonara would sing your praises as they humbly attempted to clothe the digits of the sentient races! Villians would fall on their faces in utter self loathing at the meerest glimps of your sensibly (and epicly) dressed lumps of wiggly flesh! Clothing would be abandoned as a mockery to the very awsomeness of the glove! So great is the epic beauty and proportioned fitting that mortals run the risk of gasping in awe so hard their faces implode! The very threat to life itself would force a new campaign! Layonara: The ungloved Prophesy!

*The Glove claims another soul*
