Will there be Dragons?

"We are using the new 3rd Edition Dungeons & Dragons rule set. As such, there will be dungeons and there will certainly be dragons. We intend to make them among the most impressive creatures to ever grace your monitor."

Um....what? I've finished the original NWN's mod and the Dragons were a huge dissapointment. They looked absolutely TINY. What happend to the ferocious magical reptiles we all dreamt of fighting back in the P&P D&D days. These things felt more like large lizardmen than dragons....where was wing-buffeting, dragon roar and more or less the 'dragon rage' associated with this great race....truly it was a joke to me, no sense of awe or terror but more like angry shock when I first saw the miniscule 'ancient red' in the game.

I know theres alot to think about, memory-lag and taxed systems etc. But I think in this case the old adage 'if you don't know how to do something right don't do it all' applies...what did everyone else think?

Maybe the ferocious ones were too expensive to model.. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] Or maybe they were sold out.

the dragons in the game are midget dragons. Maybe they'll grow big when the expansion pack comes out.
