Just fooling around

ahimsa, it requires a 2.4 ghz intel pentium 4 or better or an AMD equivalent for minimum requirements. need 512 MB ram. 5.5 gig of harddrive space. 128 MB video ram and card that can handle 2.0 shader tech. directx 9c. and a lan with tcp/ip setup or for internet, broadband on the multiplayer side of things. so, yes, it takes a decent rig and decent internet speed. and those were the minimum requirements.

no, it's not hard to play, but a bit clumsy on the camera views. still getting used to that. i really would have preferred a 1st person pov. the combat seemed a bit too fast at first, but you get used to that pretty quickly and it can be paused so you can issue commands to your party.

there is a pretty strong and linear story line, but this is the campaign i'm playing currently. the modules can be a different thing and i havent tried those yet. havent even downloaded any yet. there are a lot of cut scenes (where everything stops to interject some visual or audio to augment and update the storyline). but it's not too intrusive and usually works pretty well.

i'm also a bit surprised at how much power the characters start out with in the campaign. a lot of rpg's have you die about 30 times before you can hold your own. this seems about right and havent died yet, though i did lose one party member, but i think that was going to happen regardless of anything i did. they wanted to lay down the premise of the story and that death was a part of it, or at least a part to impart that death is possible. besides, once you leave the original area, you go solo. so, killing off the party member didnt really hurt you. i think i'm going to be picking up new party members along the way to this new quest.

so, it was worth the $29.99 i paid off the shelf so far. and with all that i havent even touched yet, i'm sure it'll be well worth it.

and steve, havent really done any multi strat games since command conquer. although, i am playing an old one a little, Rise of Nations. but that was also a recent purchase from the bargain bin ($5) and i dont even know if it's still available to play online. and, with this purchase of NWN 2, i doubt i'll be getting any others to delve into for a while good idea, though. just bad timing

How is this? I also have the game pad so I don't have to use the keyboard.

Just thought I might stick this up here, if anyone wanted to see some of my own 3D creations I've made for Oblivion, Fate, DAZ and Get Skinned... my user name has always been Phauxxee, till I came here though. Was easier to spell

Just thought (hoped) it would be ok to show a little of what I've done out there in the 3D world on the net

Link for the game FATE, did quite a lot of object sets for the players in this one:

My 3D Wallpapers (though it looks like they call me Tempuser now, probably because I have not been around for a very long time ) my user name is still in my comment on the images though.

And a pic from a colleciton of 3D sets I created for the DAZ & Bryce community:

yup. that shld qualify

ah, ok. i was thinking all those things were user made modules for NWN 2.

so, do you have extras for NWN 2, like extra modules and mods or do you just play the basic game?

Link doesn't work for me on AOL or IE.

Me either... now. Maybe it's down for maintenance???
Try later

I'll do that. Thanks

I think I need to go to bed early. This was the longest I have been out of the house in 7 years. I felt like I was part of the living again.

There is one I would suggest though. A must for me is the latest I discovered:

cool

i'll probably just continue the campaign until i get bored with it. usually doesnt take too long then, i'll start fooling with the editor. typically, i'll make mega weapons and armor and junk just to see how lethal things can be, then i'll start toning back till i find a good way to balance and start making environments. though, sometimes i start the other way around, i start making the environments and juggle that all around until i find the balance. just depends

Tomorrow I will see what my art computer has. Now I'm curious.

That's great to know though, isn't it!
I was so happy to find that website, I think it was in the NWN2 forum I got the link where others were having slow and sluggish issues with their game. I was one of them. Then I just gave up, had someone go buy me a upgrade to my graphics card and now it's like playing with butter

The game must really be a lot of fun the way that the two of you talk about it. I however will have to wait longer before I can get it. Looks like we will be paying for the baby's circumcision. Ouch! Poor little guy.

That was suppose to be you,

ah

man, the docs for the NWN 2 toolkit are a bit lacking in information. simple things like 'here's how you make a creature spawn' seem to be missing. i'm going to have to find a good tutorial site. and the scripting stuff is extensive. i knew some of that in NWN 1, but it's REALLY prevalent in 2. i've forgotten what a 'heartbeat' is in this stuff and there's other terms i'm going to have to clear up also. i've tried a few pre-made scripts, but they dont trigger, so i'm going to have to figure all that out as well.

i've added more critters to my 'training grounds' module. lol. i've got so many in there now the module is bogging down when i load and run it. and i've got two critters in there that i cant beat or even hardly injure. so, i'm dying... a LOT. lol. but, i've also got some immortal npc's in there to help me. quite humorous to see an npc immortal fighting an immortal critter. they just sit there and fight endlessly without damaging each other.

hehe, yeah, i fixed the endless whacking a bit. still need to figure out spawn points. i changed some of the immortals into mortals, too. and yes, i posted in that other thread
