It varies, but if you look at the special deals Dell offers for laptops, you might find a good one. You loose the customisability, but it appears you can save a large amount of money compared to their standard offering.

Edit: Expanding on Yalta's link, this site is great for checking out the performance of specific laptop components. Additionally, your $2000 budget far exceeds your usage requirements as you've described them. I'd reduce it to $300-$1000 at most.

Please stay on topic

FPS games are just one giant twitch fest, the junkie hooked up on caffeine and cocaine is the one who's going to be the victor. And really, who wants to loose to an addict? FPS games are just one mindless, thankless chore that offer nothing but bright lights and pointless noise.

And you think to even mention 'advancements in AI'? With all the crap added to games these days, you're lucky if the "AI" is even capable of walking around a corner. No, what you describe is not an RPG...

And you dare link to the dumbed down CONSOLE 2004 game that utterly destroyed the reputation of the classic 1986? Just... Honestly. How much of a philistine are you? This is all the sound I need from a game, not some jazzed up system hogging, gameplay destroying junk.

[ever]

Graphics and sounds have never added anything to a game, ever. If you were mature enough, Daemon, to have played some real games like The Bard's Tale, Dark Sun: Shattered Lands or any Roguelike, you would understand the simple majesty that comes with a pure gameplay and story driven experience. Alas, this generation has been tainted by consolitis with the SWEET GRAPHICXZ fixation that comes with it. I really do fear for the future of gaming, this server, and RPGs in general when people preach their rubbish graphicswhore mantra, as if a bit of text couldn't hold their bloom melted minds' attention for more than a few seconds.

As someone with an antiquated computer with RAM issues that make it near impossible for me to play, the complete removal of ambient sounds  might give me the reduction in performance requirements I need to start using NWN again. I'm 100% for this.

Edit: What's with this jackassery? Let's keep it clean guys.

I think the reasons for closing this thread are pretty apparent, this is a go nowhere discussion that will only culminate in resentment and discord amongst the community. LPFF has the right of it.

LOCKED

The only picture anyone has ever taken of Nickless was the one that he shot himself with his own camera for this thread.

You of all people should appreciate the control of information, ser.

Sternhund is developing plasmids.

I created a subforum in the old forums here

I'm considering running this through the forums, and perhaps doing specific combat action through IRC. I won't be able to start this weekend, but it will be sometime in the near future.

Word up for utilizing Green Ronin material. But ASOIAF? Martin is a perv.

I'd suggest just skipping over Martin's pervy segments in the books, as it doesn't really add anything to the story, at least it doesn't transfer into the RPG.

Try running NWN in singleplayer with all background programs closed and see if it works.

Okay, so this is the build I'm considering

Hm, VP's link seems to have cheaper computers than the homebuilt option. Does anyone have an opinion on cyberpowerpc?

So I now am considering a desktop, I was looking at the Gamer or Enthusiast build here. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/269162-31-recommended-builds-usage
