Quoted by the designers on one of thier websites...

What's superb is that even if you're not inclined to role-play, the game practically forces you into it. Responses to NPC inquiries are handled through the usual selection of choices, generally of a friendly, neutral and hostile nature. But your character's alignment and class also play a role. We chose the monk to lead our party for a while (he was handsome and charming, not based on anyone in, ahem, particular), and the blasted lunatic kept refusing quest rewards since helping people was reward enough. Honestly! At another point, talking to an NPC with a particular character proved the key to a puzzle, since that particular race (deep gnomes) had a familiarity with the goblin language, and could translate a cryptic message.

I like this new feature!!!</font>

Imagine what a paladin would do [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

That sounds great Larry! I am eagerly awaiting!!!! Infinity Engine RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This seems really cool, bards and paladins will be very interesting to have.

i guess there is no messing with your popularity -- everyone bone up on your bards and palidins!

all those for IWD2 in the pool cause things could get HOT!.

It does sound good, but I hate to put a downer on things: how much might we miss for simply not having the right character class/race? Or is it simply one of those things that make you go around and play the game again with a different party? The reason why I ask, is that some people seem to get a little miffed if they miss something on their way through the game.

BTW thanks for the update Larry.
