Houston we have Achieved Orbit around NWN!

[Leopold]

I didn't preorder NW, so I'm not sure if that's what the fourth disc is for, but I opened my box and got 3 discs:

Installation Disc 1
Installation Disc 2
Play Disc

Just wanted to confirm, but is it "normal" to have 3 CD-ROMs with the game? I've been surfing the web for info, but couldn't find any.

Thanks for any clarification

it's only 3 cd's and not 4..the 4th cd was to be the LINUX build but we have to dl that now...

Uh, that is extremely UN-pathetic.

I guess, really, the only pathetic thing about it is that I'm even tempted to spend the money on a new computer so I can play a new (and, um, unreviewed) game, rather than buy a ring.

And to the guy who suggested getting a $50 computer upgrade: (a) my computer has wayyy too many problems, nowhere near the necessary RAM or processor speed, is missing files etc. etc.... and (b) dood, you will need a better processing speed than 500 gHz. The minimum requirement is 128 RAM and 800 gHz. Check out the Official Website... that other one stating the "presumed" sys req's (96 MB of RAM and 350 mHz) is just wrong.

buy her a simple ring, get a halfway decent Celeron/Duron and get the game as well..there's a fell swoop right there..remember this is an enagement ring (or is this THE wedding ring?) so you can skimp on it a tad..remember it's the thought that counts!!!

I've created a mini module, teeny tiny really, and will be in there as DM for a few minutes. It's called Eric's First. Not sure how you might find it but if you do feel free to drop in and say howdy.

Movement: How fast you can go

I heard a scary rumor a while back that monks and barbarians had the same speed as everybody else, tell me this is just some evil plot to make me miserable.

And to the point, I need a dang new computer! The only thing I have enough of to play NWN is RAM! Gah!

Since I've had the game for a few days, I reallyreallyreally wanted to be the first person in the universe to make NWN: Orc & Pie. I dreamed of having it available to the world for today. I couldn't do it in the end though...

...since there's no pie graphic. *sigh*

It must be an evil plot then, 'cause it's not true. I can verify that Monks and Barbarians do move faster (although Monks don't do so until 3rd level).

Oh, btw, I have NWN installed RIGHT NOW and am going to go play RIGHT NOW.

Another nine days for me.

Maybe I should move to America.

played the game for a few hours today..nice graphics, easy combat, smooth operation...just buggy....yes you heard it there is a patch out already for it so download away. They have major issues with XP so far, i had to tone down my mode from 64 to 16 and i am not the only one..check the NWN forums and you will see..it's good, it's clean, it runs safely (now) so best of luck to those that have it and have problems which is more than likely remidied by latest drivers and so forth...


did they rush it? Yes.

Is it worth it? yes

Can you play it without crashing? Depends on what your specs are. Anything less than 700mhz and a GF2 or higher is gonna have BSODs and game is going to suck. Oh and all you with Aureal sound cards, your SOL...

Three weeks ago, I was in Best buy... I saw the preorder boxes for Neverwinter Nights... I considered dropping ten bucks on it... I didn't.

This evening I went to almost every store in town that I even thought MIGHT have an unreserved copy of the game.

No dice.

::sigh::
