Who else is excited for Neverwinter Nights 2??

I know I cant wait for this, its going to be so great. Mines been pre-ordered for a little while now.

The special item you get with pre-orders is very intresting too!

Quote:
A special feature created called Merchant's Friend. The Merchant's Friend enables the player character to obtain a powerful time crafted for each of the twelve classes. it also allows the player character the opportunity to purchase items from merchants at a special discounted rate. This feature will be available upon release.


Neverwinter Nights 2 (NWN2) is a computer role-playing game set in the fantasy world of the Forgotten Realms, one of the popular campaign settings of Dungeons and Dragons. It takes the player from the tiniest of villages into a sweeping tale of danger and war, chronicling their rise from a peasant to a full-fledged hero of the Realms, defending it against one of the greatest threats of the age.

Build a character that suits your style of play - good or evil, chaotic or lawful, with any number of skills, feats and professions available at the click of a button. Whether lobbing fireballs and researching forgotten spells as a powerful Wizard, hacking a trail through legions of orcs as a Fighter armed only with a battle axe and your courage, or taking on the role of a Rogue that can slip into the shadows at a moment's notice and take the purse from even the most perceptive of guardsmen. Choose your alignment, your allies, your companions, and how you want your character to develop... design the character you want, role-play the way you want, and carry the battle to the enemy.

The design aspects of Neverwinter Nights 2 don't stop there, however. Past the campaign included with the game itself, Neverwinter Nights 2 also gives you all the tools you need to build your own modules, campaigns, and adventures for your friends - move buildings, terrain, script encounters, write dialogues, create quests and items - everything you need to create an epic adventure of your own is included in the toolset for you and any other worldbuilder to use.

So if you are interested in adventure - or building adventures of your own - look no further. Neverwinter Nights 2 is on the horizon, and adventure awaits.

you realize that most people viewing this thread wont be looking forward to such a negative opinion? saddened me thats for sure.

the first one was great, had some flaws, but it was still a very fun game along with all its expansions.

same game style as the first, what did you hate so much about the first? "it sucked so much" hardly shows much other then outright bashing

I also like the cloaks they've added to NWN 1 ..... the cloaks are cool, and you can change their color ... shame you can't change their style (Something I'd like to see them add to the craft option to armor ... that and changing the style of helmet).

I for one cannot wait for this game. I only recently discovered the Premium Module Infinite Dungeons for the original. Being so close to the release of the sequel, I cannot justify buying it. Here's to hoping it is made for the new game as well.

Edit - the official release date is October 31st

Maybe mexicanonabike is thinking of baldur's gate? or Icewind dale?

I thought it was OK overall, the expansions made it decent. But since its basically the best for the that type of game, there isn't (or maybe wasn't) an alternative. So in that sense it was really good. I think my biggest problem was the storyline, most of it just stunk. Or maybe the characters? I disliked that female paladin (forgot the name) that the storyline practically revolves around.

I'll definetely be keeping an eye out for NWN 2 though.

ah. i meant 3d but from a top view. what i was asking is: is it like 3rd person or first person or not? and yes i did play it. This is REALLY not my style of game so don't take what i say as bashing it. I loved some RPGS but not this one.

It certainly looks different than the isometric view of baldurs gate etc. It really can be played as either first or third person (from a view perspective).

I'm looking forward to being able to control your party more like Baldurs gate - though in offline mode this means more pausing during combat (you just can't control 4 characters simultaneously (unless you have 8 arms...).

The great thing about Neverwinter Nights is all the mods - I would have stoped playing along time ago if it wasn't for all the new mods that come out. So I am really looking forward to this game - hope it does not suffer from rubbish sequal syndrome

Man, this game kicked my machine in the balls. I run it at 1024x768 with most settings maxed, and it does ok - but if I up the resolution to 1280x1024 it chugs, even with low settings. Time to upgrade...

I'm just glad the campaign is able to be played co-op. I think my Svirfneblin rogue will need some help to stay alive long.

yeah its definitly testing my machine

amd 2500+ barton @ 2.2ghz
1g ram, nvidia 6800gt stock speeds

and running at 1280x1024 with no shadows, and medium texture size its sort of sluggish while lots of combat is going on.

my poor cpu needs a upgrading, but then so will my mobo.... then i'd get better ram...

sigh

i need more money to spend on my hobbies.

yep, slightly worried about the display thing - my main machine now is a notebook. Does have ATI radeon mobility X1600 with 256M of ram and machine has 2Gb (pretty new machine). May need to resurrect my desktop machine.

Us Aussies have to wait - release date here is 16 Nov (but I ordered mine from Canada, so should get here before that...)

I've known this since it was declared.. I did a cheap upgrade on my machine not so long ago. I'm saving my cash up because I know what the next gen of games is going to need to look 'nice' which is basically better than what I'm running now.

I'm still looking forward to it ;D

I got it. I haven't played RPG games for a long time and I gotta say that I'm glad that I made the right choice to get back into it. I used to play Knights of the Old Republic 3 years ago. I've only finished the tutorials so far and I like it . Boy, some of you weren't kidding about the heavy graphic demand, I tried to play it on my laptop and boy, doe sit lag. So, I play it only on my computer

I've just found that my rig runs it fairly well at 1280x1024 with mid-high settings. Turning off water reflections/refractions goes a long way towards improving performance. Of course, I have yet to have a large battle in NWN2 with it, so I guess we'll see how it holds up.

Have you guys discovered a way to control the camera with the right-mouse, ala WoW? I got so used to mapping the camera that way I'm having a real difficult time adjusting to NWN2. It feels so jerky.

Well, it seems to run OK on my laptop, so I'm happy. It obviously runs better at lower quality, but the game looks a lot worse.

Still deciding on exactly which character I should use. I have started a rogue, a paladin and a ranger but think I'm going to go a bit further with a Wizard.

edit - re the jerky camera - this is certainly helped by turning the quality down, but even at medium quality, the responsiveness of the camera is pretty poor imo.

Anyways. I'll play it more later, but it just seem like it trying to doo wayyy to much all at the same time. Not focusing on one specefic thing.

I'll loving playing a wizard - fireballs look cool, especially watching the baddies fly away in all directions

The one area of the graphics that does annoy me is how the grassy outdoor areas look at the resolution I'm playing (medium on the shadows and high on the other one). The grass looks really "liney" for want of a better term. The indoor areas look good though. minor Spoiler: inside the crypts in the graveyard look awesome

My friends and I have been LANing this the last few weeks. Our party:

LG Human paladin
N Human fighter/frenzied berserker
CG Aasimar cleric/warpriest
CN Aasimar rogue
CN Svirfneblin rogue

Talk about a motley crew. Half the time we're fighting on the good side, the other half on the, well, selfish/greedy side. It feels linear to me, in exactly the same way KotOR2 did. Yes, Obsidian has their mark all over this game. Aside from the odd CTD we're enjoying it greatly.

And pacaveli, you've got it backwards: WoW and GW feel like NWN.

With the 1.03 patch, I've been able to turn the graphics back up to High and High (but leave off the water reflections). Really happy with how this is looking.

I just don't get online consistently enough to play with other people, but am enjoying the original campaign. Am playing a CG Sun Elf Wizard. It is always tricky being a wizard at early levels because you are so damn weak, but I'm at level 8 already and have a sizeable array of destruction at my finger tips. I've found it best to have my other party members "protect me" rather than "attack nearest" as spell casters tend to attract the baddies like ants to a picnic.

Spoiler: I've just started into the "Tomb of the Betrayed" and watching zombies get maxed by fireballs is quite satisfying
