Neverwinter Nights 2!!!

I psyched for it, I'll be getting it the day it comes out. I still play and enjoy the original NWN, so I'm sure this one will be right up my alley.

I think it ships on Tuesday, which means it would be in stores Wednesday. I hope I'm wrong though, I'm off on Tuesday!

Is it really supposed to run higher than Oblivion? The screenshots don't look THAT great.

Paid for my copy today. The shops won't have it until Wednesday though.

$49.99 American.

If by 'running higher' you mean, be more successful, than I sure hope so.

Oblivion was way too successful for such a shabby game.

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)

According to tests it will run ok (with small resolution and reduced details) on a 2.4~3.0 GHz CPU with 512+ MB RAM and a 6600 GT / 9800 XT / X700 Pro level graphics card.

For decent performance you will need something closer to 3.5~3.8 GHz CPU, 1024 MB+ RAM, 6800 Ultra / X850 GT or better gfx.

For very good performance you need SOTA equipment.

Well, it costs around €40 here (US Version is €50, but that probably includes some additional taxes), so I guess somewhere between $40 and $50.

$50?!?!!!! My PHB only cost me $30.

Why they gotta be expensive? They only last three years until NWN 3.

Is it releasing on schedule? I'd heard it was delayed until late November.

Guess I'll be pleasantly surprised when my pre-order shows up.

You mean like there was only 3 years from 3rd ed. to 3.5?

The first one was cool but didn't blow me away. This one looks good but I have 3 new games (Phantasy Star Universe, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance & Final Fantasy XII - on Tuesday) that I'll be busy with. That and I'll need a new gaming rig (to be purchase in the next 4-6 months) to get the most out of it. So no new PC games for me until that point.

Here is the bottom line: Wait for the Patch. You just know there will be a need for a patch. Unfortunately that is the way it works these days.

By the way, will my machine be okay?

2 Gigs of RAM, Athlon 64 3200+ CPU, and an X800 GTO 256mb card with DDR3 RAM. It is the card I am most concerned about but I'm thinking it should do fine. What do you think?
