[the new JR Jansen]

Originally posted by Grungi: i complained only about the single player story as its lacking in many areas especially in its linear approach, the game itself, the engine and esp the editor are superb, but take pity on the thousands of people buying the game who do NOT want to use creators but just want to play, NWN was sold and advertised as a singleplayer/multiplayer rpg experience so should provide it well, with the increasingly competitive market and even games like baldurs gate still proving old rpg games can be superbly crafted its disappointing to see a lowered single player experience, remember not everyone is switched on, not everyeone buys a game to go on the net download mods or make their own, and they are in the majority the people who dont do that, so the game should be targeted to them if oyu want profit, least NWN is more targeted to a community of gamers who really want to do something and create more, i got two distinct views on this 1) im incredibly lazy at times and i want to kick back & relax without downloading a single patch, mod or anythign else and just play the game i bought 2) im very creative and i love creating plots, characters and levels so the level editor is superb. option 1 accounts for the majority of people buying this game (obviously on this forum the majority are option 2) anyhows homer thats the reason i complained, only about the single player experience, dont get me wrong and think im not creative and just am panning a game without exploring its full merits, i have explored them and i like em, just not that darned linear piece of rectal spetum of a main plot [img]tongue.gif[/img]

A-bloody-men.
As an example i like to point out Arcanum. It's not the best game in the world but it had many of the same features as NWN when it came out. They had an editor so you could build your own gaming world and campaigns and they had a single player game for those who wanted to play only single player. Arcanum's single player game was, imo, much better then that of NWN. So Combining both can be done, only NWN did do a poor job of it.
