NWN2 - Developer Comments

by Dhruin, 2006-11-11 22:53:08

NW Vault has some NWN2 forum highlights, including this interesting snip on future support from programmer Rich Taylor:

There's a lot of good points in this thread.

The voice command system is scheduled to go in.

A few issues mentioned are bugs that will be fixed (Mini-map not staying closed on area transitions for example).

Some of the other issues have come up in meetings here and I am going to see what can be done about getting them in. Being able to hotkey more things, more control over the chat window, and the HP Status over the head are all things I strongly agree with getting into NWN2.

We're also trying to do what we can to make the camera controls feel more comfortable. The patch coming in the very near future will try to address camera controls in response to feedback we have received from the community and from internal testing.

I will be the lead programmer in charge of the post-release support for NWN2 going forward. I have a background in making and administrating persistent online multiplayer games and I understand some of the frustrations people are encountering. I feel good about the potential NWN2 has and am looking forward to improving on the groundwork that has been laid by NWN2 so far.
[...]

I didn't comment on the inventory situation yet because I'm still trying to figure out what our options are for improving on it. The '1 slot, 1 item' interface won't be changing, but I would like to make the way you interact with it smoother. Auto-sorting, inventory category tabs, or something along those lines, are ideas I would like to look into.

From this thread on the Bio boards if you'd like to sift through the whole conversation.
