If people expect this to be NWN, they will be sorely disappointed...it's not.
Keep and open mind and accept the game for what it is and not what it isn't. Unfortunately it seems this game is already doomed and it's not even been released.

Come on fellas, be positive. I'm actually looking forward to this game. I reckon it'll be good. Given how PC games can get made or broken by word of mouth, it's in their interest to not ship a game that's TOEEesque. Remember the furore about LucasArts and KOTOR2? That kind of negativity from the early adopters kind of killed the game off. Atari and Obsidian won't make the same mistakes again.

I never put it past Atari to make the same mistakes twice, or thrice. Not much of a fan of the company at this point.

Baring a Pool of Radiance (UbiSoft version) fiasco, I'll check out the reviews, make an informed decision and buy it for what it is...a single player game.

I don't care how much the game is probably going to suck. That is complete BS. You know it. I know it. There is not a PC game ON THIS PLANET whose models are that fugly.

I'm in the wait for the actual player reviews column, but the news is looking worse and worse all the time, and I've been waiting for this, for multiplay, for a long time. It's going to be whatever it is, I just hope it doesn't fall flat on it's face right out of the gate, which is possible, I suppose. If nothing else, if it does bite the big one, it will make a nice unopened box for my game collection, once I can get it out of the bargain bin at EB Games...

After KOTORII I fully trust them to make a decent RPG with a good storyline.
That's what was lacking in NWN anyway.

Shouldn't the above post have /sarcasm tags.
IMO They bombed KOTOR II with its incomplete storyline and many game breaking bugs.
