Off topic Side note: Do not spend a lot of money on a new graphics card until Vista comes out. That is, if you are interested in watching high-definition content from DVD-HD, Blu-ray or other hd sources. The reason for this is that todays video cards go not come with the necessary digital rights management mumbo-jumbo security that will be needed.

I checked out the specs on Throbble's GeForce FX 5600 and it supports DirectX 9.0c. Looks like people who bought GeForce FX cards made after DirectX 9.0c was released have "vertex shader 2.0+ and pixel shader 2.0+" (check the back of your video card box)
My GeForce FX 5200 also says it fully supports DirectX 9 but I need to find the specs since the box is somewhat vauge. Regardless, I suspect I'll need a full system upgrade for NWN2.
Mo: Vista?!?! Man, I'm still running Windows 98 Second Edition!

If it's good enough for 3rd world countries it's good enough for me! Gates has to support my ass until 2008!
Now for the good stuff, check this thread I started on the NWN2 forums:
Creature Scaling and Coloring Thread (http://nwn2forums.bioware.com/forums/viewtopic.html?topic=475689&forum=95)
Basic rundown: No limit to the size you can scale creatures and placeables. No limit to the colors on creatures.

Some new info about generating trees for NWN2 has popped up in the thread posted above. Turns out NWN2 will be using a program called "Speedtree" to generate unique trees based on an initial set of values.
Read more about Speedtree here: (Link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpeedTree))

Thats crazy! I love it! :D
Color me very impressed. Maybe i'll actually design my single player campaign I've been meaning to do for years.

Ha! I've wanted to make one too. Heck, maybe in NWN 2, a bunch of us could work together on making one. I never tried too hard to make one alone because I know damn well I can't script worth a shit. But I'm very good at writing, making stories, plotlines and designing areas. =)
