NWN 2 worth anything?
[snapback]34085[/snapback]
Right now NWN2 is a half-finished product. Atari forced Obsidian to release the game before they finished the DM Client, stand alone server and much of the scripting language. Almost every bug that existed when NWN was released (monk AC bonus with shields/armor for instance) also exists in NWN2 and they are slowly fixing them through patches.

For instance, patch 1.04 gave us the the "v" emote menu (the one that always existed in NWN) and 1.05 will make it so your information/chat windows don't clear themselves when you area transition.

In my opinion, Obsidian drove off all the potential NWN fans and the only people still interested in NWN2 are the hard-core mod builders who have been making adventures since the Forgotten Realms: Unlimited Adventures game (or, if they are like me, since the Adventure Construction Set).

Post by: Chard! on March 12, 2007, 11:38:56 AM: I bought it as soon as it came out and my compie can't even read it. The box is now closed and it won't be opened for a long time unless you guys force me with angry green trolls.
Title: Hows NWN2 anyway, worth playing?
Post by: Soul Sojourner on March 12, 2007, 03:01:10 PM: I decided to wait to buy it, until the price dropped, until various fixes and patches were made, and until GS2 came out.

I am glad I decided to wait. Go me.

Sup buddy been a while prolly dont remember gladiator or hypster lol, but nwn2 was an upset to me. Didn't get into the online thing much. Mostly new people don't see any old faces around.

Post by: Elessar Telrunya on March 19, 2007, 03:26:07 PM: I had a pure strength fighter, but I didn't duel much with him...Celoras usally was on a STR fighter when he was on too I believe.

Why doesnt someone just write a seperate program to serve pwcs to a seperate client when you initiate a connection to a server?
Seems trivial to me.

What I wonder is why they don't just make the client download the walkmesh the first time it logs into a new server then just check for changes to the walkmesh for subsequent logins.

Their 1.05 solution is to let you create a clickable link to a url that will open up player's default browser to the location of your pwc file. Considering the half-assed solutions I'm beginning to suspect Obsidian is run by the US Government.

I thought about that also. Only reason not to is potential for malware being transfered to clients. NWN2 is buggy enough couldn't be hard to imagine someone attacking clients through something like this.

I suppose that would work, though I long since lost all of those monks, and I think I have some not-as-good remade version, from after my computer got back over a year ago, but, I'm unsure if I do. Don't play it enough any more to know.

(HeLLSpAwN and HeLLDeMoN, not that'd you would know them or anything. Though Chard and WitchHunter_Z would probably recognize the names. ^^) So those two are probably going to get drunk and stoned, and whatever else, and I'll be busy, of course. =)

With the way things look right now with NWN2 I think it may be a good idea to bring it back up for a week or so and see what kind of traffic you get. Lots of players are returning to NWN after giving up on NWN2.
