We chat with the developers behind Neverwinter Nights 2 to find out what's in this game for the average MMO gamer. Will it follow in the footsteps of NWN1 and become a mini-MMO?
The whole article is here. |

WTS - a clue. cheap. I do not support stupidity or weakness. Sorry. |
i REALLY want to love this game, honest to god i do. bioware did a great job on the first nwn. not sure wtf happened and who obsidian is, or why their name is in the places where it seems bioware's name should be...
but, i think i could try to love the game if my 3ghz processor and 2gig of ram (256mb vram) could actually PLAY the game. |

this game can be playeds on what is called a persistant world with up to 60 people depending on the server,..imost are in the early stages but i really enjoy nwn and nwn2 for single player and for there larger multiplayer PW, and the great thing is that its like having more than one mmo type game in one becuase each server is completely diferant and has diferant rule sets and diferant races that can be picked from, i highly recomen either nwn or nwn2 if you like the masive muslti player feel but with only 15-60 people on each server

I have a 3.2GHz P4, 2GB RAM, 128MB GeForce 6600GT, and 10k-RPM HDs and NWN2 runs passably with some settings turned down/off. The graphics are decent but not incredible enough to require the level of hardware it does. I suspect they should have spent alot more time optimizing performance (GPU and CPU) before release.
I like the game but I'll like it alot more if they fix the performance problems. If you look at the official forums, there are people with very cutting edge systems who have to turn down/off settings to get it to run acceptably. I never tried any of the PW in NWN - maybe I'll take the time to try some in NWN2 once they are up and stable. The premium modules for NWN were great - hopefully, they do do some for NWN2. |

News flash from old time NWN fanboi (and former nwn2 hypeboi)
NWN2 is nothing like NWN1. Obsidian took the game and literally butchered it! It is bugzorama barely working on even advanced PC's. AI is absymal and you need to constantly adjust the camera just to see where are you going. It will take 6 months of patching just to make it playable. The game is unfinished , recycled and generally in beta stage - the beta stage you have to pay to play. But this is not the worst part Obsidian literally butchered the multiplayer in NWN2. They didnt improve nothing at all. Instead whatever functionality of nwn1 they didnt took away, they scaled down. But you think that would be enough bad news. You are wrong. For every server you want to play on - you now must go ofline and download hefty file (around 100 mb). And this you must do again , every time the PW server changes anything. Forget about PW's in nwn2 , most of PW admins and coders are going back to NWN1 This is a decent to average single player game , at its best |

This makes the assumption that NWN2 is actually playable like an MMO which it is not. This is mmorpg.com not hackedtogethersequalswithbadcameramovementandnosupport.com
These guys have the worst support ever for a game. |

Well, it's a good single-player game to me, obviously on the track of Baldur's Gate (
 ), but not quite so polished. I can't say if it's any good in multiplayer though, and I'm not going to try that, because there are some great MMORPG's out there, and smaller scale online adventures just aren't my cup of tea.

yeeeaaaahhhhh , i wanted to say i have never downloaded anything over 60 mb for a pw,...and if you remember corectly wich its obvious you dont cus you didnt say anything about it , any of the good pw on nwn1 you had to have hacks to play in them EXARIA being my favorite, and like i said before if your having isues running it then try froceware, i admit that you shouldnt have to try antoerh ,older driver, but there you have it,i am running a 2.8gh pc with only 1g of mem and a nvidia 6600 i have everything ramped up and the shadows off, i get very slight lag but i get worse lag with games like eq2, i strongly disagree with the statements that i adressed, everything else on the otherhand i agree with, i hate the camera roatation, i wish they improved it, maybe a right button hold turn thing, like on WoW, the coding is abismal, the tech service is non exostant, i got more help from the self help forum, and even then i had no real help i did remember seeing some drivers on the dvd so i went back and eqplored that and now it works liek a charm,i geuss if your sick of the game that is understandable, but i really like the grafics improvement ,imho you get a bang for the buck,the toolset alows for a diverse world and what i have seen so far with what people are afectionatly calling there beta pw is pretty amazing , people havereally run with it, so if you have the game try out thedrivers on the dvd, i am sure they will be patching soon,at least they better before there is a riot,and i hope your experainces are easier than mine, it took a weak to figure out what the heck was wrong , i am computer iliterate so i tihnk i did pretty good, so all you brainiacs should be able to fix your problems , at least hopefully :D
