The beholders in the background of several of those screenshots looks awesome!!!!!!! The article doesn't specify how many new tilesets, they mention two, but I'm holding my breath for more!!! So much for letting it go!

Man, that Underdark tileset is EXACTLY what I need for my deeper levels of Undermountain!!! I hope they provide loads of cool areas in that tileset.
I laughed btw at this: "Story details are sparse at this time. What I was able to learn is that the kingdom of Waterdeep is under assault by an unorthodox crew of creatures from the Underdark. The army is led by a mysterious and charismatic drow outcast that was somehow able to foster cooperation between the dark elves, duergar, illithids (mind flayers), and beholders. Using the unique abilities of each race, this motley force is on the cusp of crushing Waterdeep. It's up to you to discover the secrets of this unusual coalition and destroy it before Waterdeep falls." lol, for those that don't know, Waterdeep is one of the largest cities in the Forgotten Realms. (We're talking Millions of people). They think these Monsters can 'take over waterdeep'?!?! lol. First, you gotta get past the Lords of Waterdeep, AND Black Staff. Then, I'm sure the 'Chosen' would show up, and the Harpers would pour in and help. If ALL that fails, you got Uber-Elminster, which can basiclly reset Toril. :D I love Waterdeep though. I know every inch of it, and guess where Undermountain is located????? YUP. Waterdeep! This will be awesome!! |
<font color=skyblue>Peeing in my pants excited for this! I am not the most avid Drow fan, but the underdark creatures are what I am wanting. And a romance plot for NPCs! 30th level! Ziroc, when this comes out, will your server allow up to 30th level? How will that work for legality purposes on Multi servers?</font>

This looks great. I am just hopeing that Drow male, Drow female, Drow Mage, Drow female mage, etc are not how they are counting the new creatures. Although I would like to see Beholder and Female beholder. Is there any difference? Not sure about that whole kids thing with them. Do they mate or just an eye stalk flies off one day and becomes a new beholder? [img]smile.gif[/img] I think this is going to be what I wanted out of SOU!
I wonder what new placeables we will get? Stalactites stalagmites maybe? Granamere |
For better or worse- the level cap has been revised to 40!!!!!! This has been confirmed by Tom Ohle of BioWare!!!
From the revised article linked above Quote:

Whoa when did that change? Did they just update the article on Gamespy?
Chewbacca Thanks for both of the updates!!! [img]smile.gif[/img] Granamere |
Mmmmm, nice :D
Epic levels eh?? ;) Seems that the masses will be påleased after all then. Now Mindflayers.. finally :D Seems that I can scratch some more things of my Bioware wishing list ;) Lets hope they can figure out the rules for using missile weapons poperly and also add some more interesting races to play, an ECL system would be nice. But again.. how many Drizzits would you like to encounter online?? ;) |
Errr...over 50 feats? What happend to 200? I can't see the other 150 being feat-like abilities. Blah let's just keep hoping. As far as the rest of it goes it looks great. I'm the same as Larry, not as crazy for the drow as most people are (I think the way they're hyped has alot to do with this) but the underdark tileset looks really beautiful from what I can see.
I doubt they'll sell us short on the drow as the male and femnale drow are actually already in NWN's. Granamere this is just for you, mate [img]smile.gif[/img] . Ecology: The exact reproductive process of the beholder is unknown. The core racial hatred of the beholders may derive from the nature of their reproduction, which seems to produce identical (or nearly so) individuals with only slight margin for variation. Beholders may use parthenogenic reproduction to duplicate themselves, and give birth live (no beholder eggs have been found). Beholders may also (rarely) mate with types of beholder-kin. The smaller eyes of the beholder may be used to produce a potion of levitation, and as such can be sold for 50 gp each. We have here our first glimpse of a Beholder in the background, looks okay to me [img]smile.gif[/img] |
