Curious about something...

FelixJaeger · 09-25-2002, 01:27 PM

I'm just curious as to what people would like to have seen in NwN,
this isnt a list of all the bad points its more of a things which would make the game better,
i have two examples that i would like to have seen:

A better ending...
and a Pc controllable party like in BG2 and DS,
and more creature types, i think full orc should be an option for a char#

hehe guess i cant count!

yeh - a PC-controlleed party would have been nice. also less diversion from the 3E mechanics

Definitely a party, or just more role playing in general.

I wish they would have developed Henchmen about 3 years earlier. The reason why they lack depth and versatility (IMO) is the fact they were created and added to the game practically LAST!

Side quests, the game tacked side quests.
And character, If only there were Jan but the closest you get to him is some guy named Erik(?) well the name starts with an E.
Also the view I think was not good, you werent allowed to look back at places you had been without having to go there again and things kept on getting in the way of the camera. The view (IMO) would have been better if it were like BG2.

I agree with FelixJaeger that the ending should have been better. A fully controlable party would have definitely made the game better, but I think a lack of it definitely adds incentive to get on multiplayer and hook up with other real players to get a true D&D party going.

One MAJOR criticism is that there are NO ROBES FOR MAGES! I don't know how the development team for NWN could have let this slip by them. Dungeon Siege had robes and made em look pretty damn cool, so there is absolutely no reason that NWN couldn't have been the same! I guess another, more general, thing I would have like to see is more options for physical appearance. Just more faces, more body types, and so forth in the character model. I don't like how every human male's build can either be pretty buff or plain old fat! Lithe, wiry humans exist to, you know, and some people would like their character to look exactly how they imagine him/her to look. I think the character model options leave you wanting a bit......

I love the game though and will continue to play the s**t out of it at every available opportunity.

Sub-races (deep gnome, duergar, drow, tielfing, assamir etc.) as usuable character races would have been nice.

I would have liked an Import utility to import my BGII Characters with.

Why would you want that? It probably isn't too fun to start the game with a lvl 10 ++ character now, would it?
