Is everyone as excited as I am about Neverwinter Nights 2 being released on Tuesday?!?!?! Holla if ya hear me!!!
Neverwinter Nights 2!!!
- Thread starter tylermalan
- Start date
I'm cautiously optimistic.
On the one hand, the orginal Neverwinter Nights was - in my opinion (as someone who never had any use for the multiplayer component) - the worst game Bioware had made to date. On the other hand, everything they're saying about NWN II makes it seem like the Obsidian folks decided to learn from that mistake and were putting considerable effort into the single player campaign.
Then again, while I don't doubt the folks at Obsidian have their hearts in the right place, it remains to be seen whether they manage to deliver everything they promised, or let things slip like they did with KotOR II. NWN II has been in development much longer than Sith Lords, so I suppose the chances of it being finished and polished are pretty decent.

Yep, yep. 
Not excited enough to buy the preorder thingie, but I will definitely get it (in fact, I just ordered it
). NWN1 was a truely great game and this will hopefully be at least as good. I don't care, if the graphics are not completely state of the art. As seen with Oblivion, graphics alone don't make for a good game.

I'm looking forward to NWN2, but I am goiung to hold off getting it until I read gamer's reports/reviews such as Thanee, mmu1, and the rest of the gang here. i trust what you have to say far more than any gaming magazine or website.

The KotOR II debacle wasn't really Obsidian's fault, though. LucasArts strong-armed them into releasing it for Christmas ('04, was it?) after a paltry 7 months of development. When, a month or two after the PC release in February, Obsidian offered to do a content patch to restore the cut content, LA turned them down flat.mmu1 said:
With that in mind, i have faith that NWN 2 won't be another KotOR II.

Yeah, blame KOTOR2 on Lucas, not Obsidian.
Still, I worry about how well it will run on my PC. I've heard that NWN2 performance is worse than Oblivion. (My PC can run Oblivion okay, but not great)
