Also, NWN is being over-hyped a lot, remember PoR2? It was hyped as being the best and coolest, but what did it turn out to be? Boring, buggy and badly-made, just check out some of the posts in the PoR2 forum if you don't believe me.

Well, I wouldn't judge NWN on the basis of PoR2. Supposedly Neverwinter is going to follow along in the traditions of the BG series. The only complaint I'd have is that it's using 3rd ed. rules. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Personally, I think all three games are going to be great. Father Bronze (great to see you here, btw!), maybe you'll have to find a 3-sided coin to toss?

With me, it's not the cost of the games, but the amount of hard drive space. With each game eating up 3 gigs nowadays, you almost need a 60-gig drive to support them all!

I need a new computer.
