Frustrating Problem

[theholyavenger]

I do not have the NWN beta version so i do not know how it is like...but please help me with this question. Since NWN will be an online game, will creating a new character be such a hard task???Just like Diablo II (I've came up with almost 20 cool different names for my character on Battle.net but discovers that all of them are already taken, took me half an hour just to generate a new char).Thanks for those who replied.

I don't think so...there won't be a closed network like there is for Diablo. Instead there will be a "vault" where you can save your character that has rules and restrictions to prevent cheating. Your character is saved under the user name primarily, not the character name, so I don't think naming will be a pain like it was with battle.net.
When you start a game on a server you can specify what kind of characters can be used...like ones from the "vault" for example.
Since the dynamic for the game will be mostly playing in cooperative groups, I think cheating will be on a honor system with people you know. There's no fun in running a 20th level wiz right off the bat and carving your way through the modules, that would get really boring very quickly.
