by just looking at the sceenshots i am suprised to see that from above, the grafics look like the style of BG 2. This is a really good thing!

They really look more like KOTORII to me. But then without the empty hallways.
All in all, this game seems mighty worth it, I have a AMD XP2400, 1.5 GB ram and a GForce 6600 256 MB. And it runs on everything off except textures high. It still look way better than nwn(or oblivion in my opinion). I don't get any real slowdowns, but haven't been in any combat yet. The new character system is simply to cool and varied, so I'll spend a lot of time testing chars. Subraces is a nice touch. Also, I like the amount of dialog choices and importance of skills.

The potential is there, the story and the system are all nice and fresh and new but good god the controls and UI are just killing it. Using the interface in this game makes you think the the dev's warped back to 6 years ago and learned nothing from any game released since then.

Actually, I think the controls and UI are way less clunky and bugged than NWN1. With patches and HOTU.
To be honest, I don't think any game released between now and 6 years ago delivered anything remotely interesting. I love the way Obsidian turned that around and showed they *did* learn from *true* good RPG classics like Fallout, BG and such.

The GUI is a little unwieldy: hopefull I'll get used to it. It looks like they tried to combine the interface of KOTOR with the interface from NWN, but instead of getting the best of both, it ended up being the worst of each.
I'm no where near far enough into the game to make an intelligent assesment however it's made me put down Company of Heroes.

Then by using the exotic feat I have been able to Duel-wield 2 Bastard swords from the moment I found the first merchant, also on the first day but until I took the Exotic feat I couldn't Duel-wield. What I have noticed about the game is it seams to be behind the times in the graphics flow department compaired to games like WoW and Guild Wars. Last night was the first time in along time I used the pause function. I spend most my computer Game time playing Guild Wars and there is no pause so I forgot about that function until I looked at the HotKey chart and saw Pause -- Spacebar. Its been more than a year since I've played NWN 1 and its really strange playing with the totally different control system but it still seems a little out of date in ease of use and the differences in the mouse function. The Game so far is fun and I haven't had any trouble other than getting the mouse control system differences down.

It sounds like the single player game is very good, but the interface and poor performance was enough to give it the wipe on my PC. Actually it was more the interface, as the performance wasn't really as bad as I had expected. The performance was playable, but I didn't really feel like it was worth it given the quality of the graphics. Luckily I borrowed a friend's copy to try out before going out and buying myself. I'm really glad I did. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I would just wait and see. This isn't like DDO where you'd say "My god, it's a disaster and can never change". It's more like it wants to be something but just isn't that something yet. The OC is for sure a great one, and I can see they are trying but right now it isn't what it can be given a few major patches. As with many Atari games, it simply isn't ready yet.
