[QUOTE="1337 h4xor, post: 352843, member: 7187"] i'll give you a mor in depth review then.... graphics: poor In a world where every game at least tries to have a 3d element this has none... still the same nonmoving non-interactive backgrounds. Without open gl support as in iwd 1 the fog of war looks even worse. The character animation is poor it's still a step up from the old gold box games but mostly just pixel count. Even with 5 years to further the bg engine they do nothing besides allowing higher resolution modes taht are unsupported. Skills: nonexistent Most classes have 1 or 2 class skills that's it... pretty sad Feats: they've either been modified (improved init reduces speed factor) to form some sort of 2e 3e bastard hybred or left out. You can try to take spell focus for example but it's only there for 4 schools..... no spell focus abjuration for example. Ai: bad even with playing with the character scripting ai characters still do things you told them not to... Enemy arent any better... just rush the nearest person and start whacking. sound: great.... good score Overall after playing NWN this is a big dissapointment, for many reasons... nwn has lots of eye candy this has none. Nwn follows 3e rules this isn't even close in most things.... for christs sake they couldnt even bother to fix the alignment descriptions. [/QUOTE]
