Nwn 2 Q&a

Linkage

It sounds like he has a good idea, but this part bothered me a little bit:

We'd also like to create different control structures -- not to make it arcadey, but to include things like hotkeys for feats that will make regular encounters less of a hassle to deal with. That might sound more arcadey to people, but I think it'll help let those features be used by more people, now that it's not buried somewhere in the interface. I played through most of Hordes and Undrentide as a monk, and there were a lot of monk things I couldn't be bothered doing because it was a pause-and-click process -- particularly in multiplayer, which is a big part of Neverwinter.

I hope that they're not going real time with this...

Ya i wouldnt like real time, but a bit more interactivity in fighting would go a long way. The new PCGamer that came a week ago is all about D&D and does have a full page Q&A about NWN2 (and baldurs gate 3, and D&D online) so if your not a subscriber you might wanna pick this one up.

Thanks for the heads-up, will do...

For fans of D&D or D&D CRPGS, check Gamespy's series on the history of both D&D and a seaprate history of D&D computer games. Pretty cool.

Funny thats the same thing PCGamer has. History and timeline to commemmerate D&Ds 30th anniversary. Few preview of upcoming games, NWN2, BG3, D&D Online, and this other game that I cant remember the name but looks sweet as hell too. Also has some mod reviews for BG2, NWN, and IWD.

I've been looking at BG mod pages this afternoon (slow day) and there are some cool things floating around out there...Check out www.pocketplane.net.

BG3? I thought Black Isle went belly-up.
Not that it neccessarily spells doom for a game's sequel, but you wouldn't bet on Apple continuing Gates' work if M$ went out of business would ya?

BG3 is in development by another company. I cant think of the name for the life of me tho. Once i get home from work ill look it up and post the name. I wanna say its being published by Atari tho, and uses an engine similar to Biowares new engine (for their new Dragon Age game or whatever its called)

edit: Ok the publisher hasnt been announced but Atari is working closely with them. Engine hasnt been announced yet, could be an existing engine, a new engine, or possibly Biowares Dragon Age engine. No release date yet. And the other kickass game I couldnt think of the name is called Dragonshard. Looks really sweet.
