...almost every D&D computer game i've played was better than NWN. I've only played a few chapters of NWN. The training, cleaning NWN and a few places after this, so take my opinion for what it's worth. I hadn't the will to play further because a) i was bored and b) i have an underspecked computer. IM not so humble O, NWN pretends to be a RP g when it's only a D&D bashthrough. Or at best a rpg with a very poor scenario (think Gary Gigax first aventures) and cheesy quests you'd want to have finished already. Problem is, combats can get a bit boring in single-player. Not much possible strategy patterns apart from the best one for your only char. Also, combats were absolutly not challenging (even with my halfling 50%/50% druid-rogue). My hope for NWN rests on the shoulders of the modmakers who might built something with a story scope similar to fallout/BG1-2. IWD2 is designed to be a bashthrough, it doesn't pretend to be something else. All the challenge rests on combat balance and, as stated in the other posts, the devs have done a good job on this aspect. Almost every fight is a tough one, and this comes from a hardcore IE fan. Basically, if you enjoyed IWD with its scores of monsters and infinite snowfields, and if NWN let you down, you'll prefer IWD2 over the overhyped, overpriced RP-wanabe g.[/QUOTE]Yeah i did not like NWN so good i also only played two chapters and i get bored with it so i hope the this game is better! But i cant get before september 29 here in this contry! |

I found IWD I to be way too repetitive, and a far inferior game altogether compared to BG II and even BG I.
All these people are so down on NWN in this thread...I think NWN is undoubtedly far superior to ANY of the Infinity Engine games in EVERY way (except maybe the actual epic-storyline of the BG series, but even that is a moot topic because there are hundreds of Mods out there that the re-playability factor of NWN surpasses that of even BGII. NWN is awesome.......flibulzbuth, I can't say your opinion means much to me because, honestly, the utter coolness of NWN didn't set in until towards the end of Ch. 1 for me. There is a WHOLE lot more to the game than the petty Prelude and a part of Ch. 1. A WHOLE lot more indeed!
