NWN2 is awesome. I am glowing it so incredibly awesome. It runs very smooth. I have encountered no major bugs, nor crashes. Runs with a great windows mode interface ALT Enter. I think it is funny that they didn't update the character voices, though it has the best roll playing options I have ever seen in a PC game.

I really like the fact that the deep gnomes are almost the same as layo deep gnomes. I can get the feel and experience of playing the the Ranger / Illusionist that I have been waiting to bring into Layo. Favored enemy Elf

I could ramble on and on about how right they made this game. I keep noticing little improvements they have made in the game play and tactics, that removes so much of what made other D&D PC games annoying. Like the balance between real time and D&D being a turn based game is remarkable. I like the non death system they are using, where if a character falls in battle, they get up to 1 hp when the battle is over. That makes it so I spend less time re loading the game. The AI is reasonably smart about tactics. Like they will ever make an AI that competes with a seasond Layo player, hmph. There are good options to set how the henchmen interact when following the leader. Or how your character interacts while you are micromanaging a henchman.

On and on I could ramble.

Awesome game Obsidian, and everyone that contributed to this game.

*compression of previous verbal explosion/s*

can't seem to get the Subracing to work. clicking Plane Touched will only give me Aasimir.

It does look good, sound skips a bit on mine

talk more later got work

I miss the old NWN camera angles and view, NWN2 holds it's camera very close to it's characters.

The spell effects are very... wow.. though...

just watching someone cast Ray of Frost is impressive.

Alot of new spells too.. and some familar ones have been changed

Gust of Wind is a Second level spell

Scare is a lv 2 spell

Cause Fear is new and is a Lv 1 spell and replaces Scare

Enchanter's get a new spell of mass happyness

"MASS HOLD PERSON"

Oh and now those Illusionists can get

"Mirror Image"

They have implemented all of the old voice sets with four new ones

You'll recognize the casting voice set.. it's back! but they have made a few changes to it

Casting you'll hear once more "Obdi medua malcat!" *foom*

I have not figured out how to "Put my weapon away" out side of actualy opening my inventory and removing it from the equiped slot

Cloaks are beautiful *sob*

DUNGEON CEILINGS!

Trap area's are better defined, and if you found a trigger you can figure out what type of trap it is.. you just can't disarm it

Familiars are Summonable like NWN1 but are far less powerful than before

The feats are what I love. They have spell prodigy from forgotten Realms. Then of course Mirror Image! That was always my contingency spell =)

Battle Caster "Bard/Warlock" You can cast in medium armor with no spell failure penalty

Hmm..I hate it.

Crappy models and the graphics are not as rich as they claimed.

The voice acting is horrid. Hilarious while drinking though!

Combat is drawn out and boring.*CHOP, CHOP, CHOP, CHOP*, You die!

Still got a bad taste in my mouth from those quirky camera angles.

BUT HEY GUYS! THEY ADDED SOME REALLY COOL NEW AWSOME MEGA ULIMITED BUSRT SEPCIAL MOVE THINGIES THAT MAKING POWERLEVELING ALOT MORE EASIER FOR ME! YAY! -.-

Still wondering why almost every Dex based class has HiPS.

Spells are pretty but they better be! After that incredible CGI the disapointment in game hit me harder than a falling I-Beam.

What's Obesedian? COME BACK TO US ATARI! All and all I guess this is a pretty decent game, compared to Runescape! I was hoping D&D Online would be the last bad D&D game we saw. Add this to the sequels we never asked for list.

Nice toolset though.

The nice thing is that NwN2 is only ever going to be a single player game for most of us, unless by some minute chance L and the Team win the lottery and buy all new servers and a crack staff to recreate Layonara in NwN2 (probably not going to happen). In which case, all those HiPS classes will probably get tweaked anyway. Also, there are plenty of camera haks for NwN, so I'd give it a bit before you really bite into NwN2 with criticism. Hehe.

I'll buy it eventually, but Layo's my home. Ain't nothin gonna chance that. (Though I hear there are some reeeaaally neat spells in NwN2.) *cough cough*

A bit quick on the draw LoRD

I have my frustrations but it's only been a day and NWN1 is under the effect of years of patches and mods

NWN1 without updates is pretty lame, NWN2 will grow into it's own

I will have to say that every complaint about NWN1 is applicable to NWN2

And I have to point out that NWN1 has a very good CGI movie.. I hope it doesn't dissapoint your expectations of NWN1

Should be able to take it as a Rogue Special Ability if you have the requisite Hide and Move Silently. Anyhow, Doc.

Hey, it is a funny joke. Everyone just rember you need about a 1/4 more than the recommends at least to play NWN2 online, as well as broadband. If not, you will prolly have a horrible gaming expearience. It dosnt run to well on my laptop even knwo Im' right at the recommends. Runs great of my girl's father's PC. DOnt hink his PC has seen one second of bad lag or frames, it's a powerhouse. I still dont like it though!

LoRD-oF-AEoNS · « **Reply #19 on:** November 02, 2006, 04:32:40 pm »

Oh and rogues cant take it, I think. It's avalible for SD's, Assassins, and Rangers, I belive.
