Outstanding character creation and . Very well done graphics. Initial camera settings poorly done but can be adjusted
• The graphics are outstanding I am playing on a laptop and I don’t have any problems with the game. Granted it is a gaming laptop but the graphics are crisp/realistic and very playable. I have few if any FPS issues. It’s got a great ambience and look feel. The sounds and voiceovers are also fantastic. Tons of work was done here and really added to the immersion. Very well done.
• The controls. Okay so yeah I had some real problems with the way the initial configuration had this set up. Plus I have a laptop with a touchpad which made it even more murderous. I mean –I spent 50% of my time just trying to navigate. I have played with the config however and believe I have it set up pretty nicely (like the old NWN). Whoever –set the initial camera configuration for new users needs to be slapped. I’m surprised this got out of beta test the way it was.
• I love all the races and class options. Really pretty amazing and frankly the implementation here is my favorite part. I am having fun just looking at all the combinations and strategies for making a character. Very neat and a good basis for whatever comes next. The feats are interesting and outstanding and there are a ton of combinations I think would be interesting
• Replayability is low because this is a linear game but hey that’s what we all signed up for. For example, I’d like to try this again with a different class, like a monk or something. We’ll see as I’ll probably give a Monk or Druid a try.
• My only beef on character selection is there should be a more choices for physical features. Some variation in heights, facial tattoos, birthmarks whatever. I mean the designers don’t have to worry about multiplayer lag FPS so what’s stopping you. More voices too.
• Limited Edition people get special items and feats. I guess I am okay with that but I never like buying Limited editions because I like to get games like this on the first day they are available. You risk getting a game a few days late if a supplier has some glitch. So let people upgrade if they want to unlock the full feature sof the game.
• The storyline and the feel of—hey I should just finish up this one last adventure is definitely still there for me. Pulls me in to try and advance my character/class. That’s really t he most important element. Do I want to play and keep playing like I did in NWN 1. The storyline and flow are really compelling and it really fits the bill as ordered.
• I don’t really get the whole multiplayer aspects of the game. I know it’s a huge part of NWN but I’m just not sure how this all works effectively. It’d be great if people could make campaigns just as fun and interesting as the one includes. We will see I guess.
• Oh and to all the Wowsters. Hey this is not WOW! I play Wow too and it’s great but this is a whole different critter. Yes the good ideas that Wow has should be incorporated but most of wow really doesn’t translate well here. So my overall score out of 10 is probably and 8.9 so far. If you liked the original NWN I can’t see why you wouldn’t love this. And even if your experience is just confined to Wow you should give this a try to see something different. I reserve the right to change it based on a few more days of play but for now 8.9 out of 10.
