The graphics does look like a poor's man version of Oblivion.

And OB wasn't too great... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Is it going to be one of those "same sh!t, different title" type of games?

Sorry Luvian, but I don't agree. The graphics in Oblivion are okay at best, but NWN2 is MUCH better imho. just my 2 cents.

I have to agree with Micah Foehammer here. I think the graphics looks alot better in NWN2 than oblivion. Maybe the graphics aren't better technically but the feel NWN2 gives is just nicer. And to Variol Elmwood, i think it isnt going to be one of those "same sh!t, different title" games. NWN2 looks like it could become the absolute best 3D rpg ever. I haven't really played a 3D rpg that has in my own opinion come close to old titles as Planescape: Torment or BG but this seems to be the game to finally get me hooked on a rpg thats not 2d.

I don't know... I guess you guys haven't played Oblivion with maxed out settings. You need a really powerfull computer to get the most out of Oblivion. I'm not really a fan of Oblivion's graphics, but there is no doubt to me comparing them that NWN 2 is a poorer version graphic wise.

But as for NWN2 being the best rpg... The only thing they have over NWN 1 is updated graphics, and they removed a bunch of features from the first one. Wouldn't that make NWN 1 the best rpg?

lol and you haven't played NWN2 with maxed out settings either.

Alright, so I went to both websites and used their own screenshots to make comparisons. It wasn't always easy to see similar screenshots for each games, but I found a couple:

I took more but you can only have 8 images per posts. This should be enough anyway.

The technology in Oblivion is higher if that's what people mean? I agree, it looks simimliar to OBV and I would almost say it has more charm than Oblivion. Why is everyone freaking out if these games lok similiar btw?

I didn't see anyone freaking out about the game looking similar.
