hmm...by any chance do you think that they're re-writing the IE engine and just giving it a new name? Just a thought, a doubtful thought but hey, I guess it's worth hoping for.
And if they were to re-write the engine, what changes do you think would be made.

From everything I have read, the IE is a dinosaur waiting to be sucked into the tar pits (not necessarily my position because I like the IE games). The IE has problems in mplayer (Try a mplayer game of Trials of the Luremaster some time if you don't believe me.) The chances of it being rewritten appear to be zero.

hmm, hopefully someone comes and finds the bones of the dinosaur and helps it out. If it was rewritten, what changes do you guys think would be made? I'm not too familiar with any type of engine for a game.

that's very upsetting. I want more BG2! and MORE IWD2! However, there is always the chance of someone making a MASSIVE mod to add to IWD2.

Jaramira · 03-03-2003, 02:21 PM

I miss spells like Summon Familiar, Summon Woodland Beings etc.

:sigh:

Somehow they added to the role play side of it.

BG2 spells or IWD2 spells? I don't know, haven't finished either yet.

Micah Foehammer · 03-03-2003, 02:27 PM

There are lots of summoning spells in IWD2. Rangers and druids have "summon nature's ally", and there are the typical monster summonging spells for clerics and mages. In addition, there are Elemental summoning spells, gate, cacofiend, summon effreeti.

Summon familiar is not present in IWD2.

I like Call Lighting spell. Good when you start new area... sometimes lighting comes in critical moments and always helps. (Good for Black Dragon)

I also miss the sub-classes, such as:

Stalker (ranger)
Beast Master (ranger)
Avenger (druid)
Assasin (rogue)
Bounty Hunter (rogue)
Blade (bard)

What happened to reputation?

I don't think there was enough interation with NPC's to have anything to do with reputation. Besides, you're in the far north, a remote place where law and such isn't as enforced as it is in Baldur's Gate and Amn.
