Ooooooh that looks good.

Pity I have a Mac though, it will take aeons to get IWD2 seeing as I only got IWD the original two weeks ago for the Mac, no sign of HoW or ToL for the Mac yet. I am STILL waiting for any info on Throne of Bhaal for the Mac too.

Having just spent a fortune on a G4 733mhz 640mb RAM mac I am not going to shell out any more for a PC. I work on a Mac too.

Anyone out there know when these are going to be ported for the Mac, or any other games for that matter.

I know NWN is going to be a dual CD so us Maccies can benefit straight away,

I've added a link to a third set of icons in the first post. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Thanks Micah! That interface looks much better, and I love those funky new spell icons. I'm impressed!

The screenshots look absolutely amazing!

The second screen shot with the feats...."heroic inspiration" indeed! [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

I really like the quasi-3D icons. The one in the lower left corner (the puppet on strings) reminds me of the design from Steve Jackson's Illuminati: New World Order trading card game.

The spell icons are similiar to the ones in Planescape Torment - same person did both of them - Brian Menzes.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!Shiney icons!

Man, those are awesome pics. Though the portrait alignment is a bit odd.

Apparently the interface can also be customized. From what I understand, spell slots can be added or dropped among other things. I don't have all the details. I don't know that the placemate of the party portraits can be changed though. The rationale for the interface layout was to create a wider playing screen; so the side controls were eliminated. That also explains why the small portraits were made smaller. So they would better fit in the space!

Can not wait for this game to come out!!! [img]smile.gif[/img]
