For some reason, perhaps because I have only a 500MHz processor, NWN runs quite slowly, especially in large battles or with lots of environmental effects like fountains, etc. I also hate those stupid chests that have magical traps that Tomi cannot disarm, forcing my fighter to soak up the damage--only to find a suit of banded mail. Whoop-de-do. [img]graemlins/dontknowaboutyou.gif[/img] My enjoyment level of NWN is significantly lower than my enjoyment level of IWD2.
No, there are no joinable NPCs hanging out around the Ten-Towns; I don't mind, because I've never met an NPC that I really like or have found to be really well-designed. Personal quirk.
The setting for IWD2 is still several years before the first recorded sightings of Drizzt, so no uber-drow. I do hope they don't use or even mention Crenshinibon again--been there, done that.

Attalus, Belle saw our posts about "have you heard from micah?", so she told me that we were sitting around talking about him like a couple of hens. [img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img] *cluck* *cluck* [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]
