NWN Video on BG2

[Dar'tanian]

If you have bg2 and tob installed or just one of them i do not know which one, then you can play this movie on your real time player. It is kind of like a demo for NWN it makes the game seem ridiculously good (even though it isnt). Has anyone ever seen this??

[SpiritWarrior]

Yep, loved it. It starts "With Baldurs Gate we sparked a role-playing renaissaince".

[Dreamer128]

"With Neverwinter Nights, a multiplayer revolution"

[Xen]

"Share an epic story of faith,war and betray"...

[Dreamer128]

"As it engulves the windswept coastline of the sea of swords"

and also u know whenu load the game u get a quick tip. Well have u ever seen this one. "the adventure does not have to end here, u can import ur character into NWN." I right!!

Some one touched on this earlier, but I can't remember where. The differences between 3e and 2e are just to great to allow char importing. You'd end up with the char name, and that's about it. I think there were some legal issues too, since Interplay isn't involved with NWN's, but I'm not sure about that.

This video was released while NWN's was in production and in it you can actually see alot of stuff that never made it into the final version of the game. If you watch it closely you will even see the fighting animations/mechanics were totally different here and there are a multiple of cool spell effects that were, for some reason dumbed down .

I guess it shows how rushed NWN's was that we got sold out on these even despite the fact that it was technically (and commercially) 'late' when it hit the shelves. Alot of this stuff I liked much...heres a few screens:

The original Magic Missle spell. Much like the older Infinity Engine games such as BG2, colourful, red and better IMHO than white comets (c'mon they could have at least coloured them!)

An early and again more BG-style fire elemental meh, I like the current one better, this one looks like a paper doll [img]smile.gif[/img] .

This is defo. my favourite. The strength-type spell animation. A supernatural figure above the head of the caster flexing It's muscles to show the strength being amplified. This is an improvement on the IWD strength animation which had one arm showing and IMHO would have been much better in NWN's than the drab effect we were given (a tri magic thread on the casters head).

Just thought I'd let everyone know what we don't have [img]tongue.gif[/img] . Hey, It's nice to dream..I really wish they'd reconsider putting some of these things back in.
