Goodbye all I've moved on to Neverwinter Nights 2 and hope to see you all there some time in the future. I may come in to visit every once and awhile but for the most part I am there. If you wish to speak with me and befriend my on NwN2 My account name is Akan the Great. Its been great everyone....it really has.
Goodbye
COME BACK
I give him less than a week before realizing how HORRIBLE the nwn2 multiplayer is. And if he's playing the single player, he'll either get half through, or finish it, and say; never again. and come back to good ol' NWN 1
Resist the dark side. Come back to retro Nwn!
NWN2 was the biggest waste of money I ever spent on software. I got more value for my dollar out of Microsoft Works. I hope Obsidian hasn't ruined the NWN franchise with that overwrought and underperforming disaster of a game.
Let me know when they release NWN3. In the meantime I'll stick with what works (mostly).
Hope to see you come back soon dude! You're always running around with a crazy goblin that my hin paladin needs to kill or something!!!
As far as nwn2 is concerned, the gameplay interface was somewhat clunky and took me out of being able to enjoy the game. That and some of the walking animations are so badly done that I can't stand to move anywhere.
(DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU DONT WANT SPOILERS)
However, aside from that, the game story is actually somewhat varied. It has a festival, a trial, a keep to build and defend, you get promoted, the side quests require long term commitment to your companions, huge amounts of crafting options and a few other things.
Overall nwn2 has much of the stuff that people asked for in the game, just not a very good game engine.
I probably shouldn't trash NWN2 so hard. If you think about it, the original NWN community didn't really get going until the hardware had already outpaced the engine, so maybe Obsidian is playing a careful bet that the community and the hardware will catch up to each other at the same time.
Or maybe I'm just being too generous.
Shifted!
(And, have fun!)
NWN 2 is stupid the performance is horible. and multiplayer makes it worse. and the plot for single player is stupid. It is the dumbest backstory ever.
