My version:
Everything is the same except for; the Gypsy stereotypes, the dull/characterless male voices, the goofy looking male portraits (mostly), the silly screaming voices in the background (even after you have killed all the bad guys in that area), the one henchperson rule and DESIGN (YUCK), maybe a few aspects of the combat style, and much much more.

Now you're going to tell me that you would rather have the current version?!?!....I know it's tough, but be honest now.

I think the problem might be that NWN is primarily trying to be a roleplaying game, with emphasis on Multiplayer - with PnP D&D you can only really control one character, rather than BG2 or IWD which is more of a tactical RPG which allows you to control more than one person. The scripting for the henchman might not be perfect, but the intention is pretty clear - he's not under your control.

Not saying this is better or worse - it's horses for courses obviously, but I don't think the intention was to have the henchman as a "second" character for you to control.

Just like when you play multi - you need to communicate with others in your group on strategies, etc. The difference is that in multi you are communicating with sentient beings on the other end. ;)

Hopefully they can get the scripting improved so that what you tell him will more accurately reflect what commands are given to him. [img]smile.gif[/img]

the child thing was an example. sorry i used it but we post our opinions here and like i said before this thread wasnt based on racists views or what not but the boredom of the game. if you want to do an off topic post go ahead and start a new thread.no one waqnted to replied to that one.

does anyone want to talk aboput them lakers to. i hear they got a really good chance to go for 4 in a row.

i think next years biggest rival to shaq is gonna be that boy from china that the rockets got. all hes goota do is gain another 50 pounds and he will be able to handle shaq. he will then be taller faster and bigger.
but can he shoot freethrows? how is he with his layups?

will MJ get a better team to work with next season?will they finally give phil jackson the credit he deservers?

would anyone like to post their thoughts on this.

megabot post originally that he played the game and was bored because it wasnt interesting to him.fine he doesnt like the game cause its not up to par to what he likes to play.fine ok he doesnt like it cause its not up to his speed.its slow its boring to him.

now come out saying i hope the gypsies dont sue for racist stereotyping has nothing to do with this thread.

lets get back onto the threads original topic already
I dont say i dont like the game because of the speed or something here and the game run like an "bigblock Chevy" here i have gf 3 with 128 mb ram and i use win xp and i have one gig ram so the game is fast here!
And that stupid interface in the game annoying me to!
I have played it again now an i have come to an city or something with tons of Weak Zombies to kill and the combat thingie are also a little bad i think, but anyway the game still sucks so i dont play it more now before i have finnished Morrowind that game is 10 000000 times better anyway i think and even Baldurs Gate 1 is better!

But dont make Mem to close this topic because that was not what i had in mind to start this post anyway, so cool it down you guys it is only a ■■■■■■■ game we talking about here! :D

youre also given 36 quick commands to work with i have 12 set asside to command my henchman. its fast control and you dont have to talk to them.but said earlier this was ment to be a multiplayer game and between load screens its states that the games difficulty was based on you and 1 henchman not 5. the game is also based on 3rd edition rules, but then we have beat that one over plenty of times. maybe people arent reading it. instead of getting upset with how the game is played out get upset at the rules that original d&d creators have set. bioware is just staying current with the ad&d rules.if you dont agree with it fine we all have our opinions and your intitled to them. play it if you wantor dont its your desision. but to try it under a whole new set of rules and restrictions is what makes this game so new and unique.

when i first got this game i did not like it you can probablly find the post where i even said that. i didnt like the camera views. i didnt like the char setup either. but i gave the game more than an hour of play time and i started enjoying it.it was something new to work with you had to earn your way up in the game.thats what i liked about the game.new and challenging.

i just am misguided that someone would get such high expectations for a game and then shoot it down because of miniscule flaws. i can say that their where far more char portraits here then in BG2. and i hear people say that there isnt. voices sound just as gay as the original BG series so i could careless.im just thrilled that for each voice there is a different script for each. then the henchman, people cant be that reliant on 5 extra char to help you out.i hear alot about there not being certain char kits in here, maybe they where to powerful or something and they wanted to balance the game out.

the only gripe i have about the game now is the online play. for those of us who want to play the game and enjoy it. the experience is ruined by people who cheat.what is the point of playing the game if your just going to cheat?

Please, PLEASE, do not get me started on the Minneapo... I mean LA Lakers. I hold a lot of disgust for that team (mainly jealiousy).

Gyp·sy also Gip·sy Pronunciation Key (jps)
n. pl. Gyp·sies
A member of a people that arrived in Europe in migrations from northern India around the 14th century, now also living in North America and Australia. Many Gypsy groups have preserved elements of their traditional culture, including an itinerant existence and the Romany language.
See Romany.
gypsy One inclined to a nomadic, unconventional way of life.
A person who moves from place to place as required for employment, especially:
A part-time or temporary member of a college faculty.
A member of the chorus line in a theater production.

odd they both have different definitions not all meaning the same thing.

Your definitions support what I'm saying. Are you reading the same language I am? The secondary meanings are dependent on the initial meaning.

Your arguments are flimsey at best regarding the "white Gypsie bit". The people closest in circumstance are the Jews. Like the Gypsies, they had no homeland, were persecuted and killed by the Nazis (in a Gypsie holocaust), and lived all over Europe.

Just as you could have a Hungarian Jew, or a Russian Jew, so could you have a Spanish Gypsie or French Gypsie for example.

I believe the famous guitarist Django Reinhardt was a Gypsie.

Thiefprowess, you need to get a grip mate. Your statements regarding religion are as said way out of line and totally uncalled for.

As for taking the thread offtopic, that is the flow of human conversation. That was one element that got picked up on. By bringing up that it seems like you're determined to try and prove me wrong about anything instead of chilling out. What do you care? To you it's a game. To a Gypsie it's who they are.

As for what nationality I am, I'm Australian. An Australian with a hatred of racism. Quite a normal kind of hatred in Australia. ;)
Ironically in my Anglo-Celtic family, one distant ancestor was allegedly a Gypsie from Spain. [img]smile.gif[/img] I'd forgotten about that actually.

Thanks to you guys that expressed support. [img]smile.gif[/img] Maybe we could get a petition going to get them to change it before a lawyer gets involved. (Bad news) A simple patch would do it right?
