I'm not too thrilled with IWD2 either. I played Baldur's Gate all the way through, the original with Tales of the Sword Coast added on, to BG2 with its add on, several times. I have played IWD2 up to just through the Dragon's Eye but, like others have said, I can't really stay motivated to play it through. What I would like to see is some kind of upgrade for the older games that allow most 3rd edition rules, like the skills and feats, to be added in. I think that would would make the games more interesting.

Yeah, I have also noticed that. IWD2 is very good game, but not excellent. Almost everything is better than in IWD1, but not atmosphere, that is.

I´m getting tired of the too fixed and linear play. Having played countless of hours of Morrowind does that too you. However I pliked the implementation of 3:ed rules, I know an opinion of taste, hoewever I find it to my liking.
But the game engine is horrible.. So many lags and freezings and smal bugs that makes it not worth it. *sigh* I hope they start using the NWN engine a bit more in their future games, I have had very little issues with that one, sure not perfect, but nothing is.

I don't think they will use the NWN engine that much. You need a very good computer and some specific graphic cards to be able to play it, while the infinity engine can be played on about any computers.

I didn't find the game to lag or anything... and the only bug I found was that I couldn't get through one door in the Ice Temple... I really like this engine

BIS is currently working on a new game engine to replace IE, code-named Jefferson. IIRC, it's supposed to be another isometric view engine using the 3rd ed DnD rules. Also IIRC, it's gonna use a point buy character generation system according to JE Sawyer.
I got this info from: Black Isle Feedback [ 01-03-2003, 03:11 PM: Message edited by: Magness ] |
