Does NWN = BG2 + Dungeon Siege

Bad Mr. Frosty · 05-20-2002, 10:00 PM

The truth i didnt like any of the D&D games from Bioware.
Playing an RPG in wich you control a party of adventurers does not lend itself well to the isometric view that these games have. (IMHO)

I enjoy the first person RPG like the Wizardry series.
But saying that, i recently played Dungeon Siege and liked a lot about it.
Its not much of an RPG but they were able to make an enjoyable isometric rpg-lite game.
Maybe its because you only contrtol 1 party member that i didnt find the isometric view as bad.
But prolly the reaason i liked it more is that u are able to move the camera in any angle u wish.
i ended up playing the game almost in a third person perspective.
It was great.
But like i said before the game is very low on RPG elements so i lost interest in about 3 weeks.
but i played the game in multiplayer an average of 8 hours a day for those 3 weeks.
Now is NeverWinterNights similar to DS as far as letting you change the camera angle.
If it is then it will rock.
If they made a game that blended some of the usability of DS and the RPG elemets of D&D games. It would be the best online game to play.

From what I gather, NWN will be the same sort of views as DS (with the movable camera) with much more of an RPG aspect.

BTW: Only need to post in one forum dude

I would ahve compared it to Fallout rather than BG2 because you control the main character, not the whole party. The followers just follow orders as such

that will be a good game then.
I just couldnt get into BG2, i wanted to but it was just too weird controlling a group in a flat 2d isometric world.

DS is more like fallout in that goblin level where u can pick up machine gun.
