Never looked better - which isn't saying a whole lot. Impressive legs for such an ancient game though

That is one ugly game. :)

The game was a downgrade from BG prerendered graphics but it isn't that ba when you look from its 2002 perspective. Also it gave us some really fine mods

Just remember that JDR is a ‘NWN thread troll’ - he has no interest in the game, has never said anything positive, has no intention to really try it (except to ‘hate play’ maybe) ... but yet he cannot help but come in and crap all over any NWN thread. I don’t get it, but evidently that is just who he is as a person. Personally I like NWN, but even if I didn’t I would just choose to stay away because I believe that people are allowed to like the games they like.

I played NWN and its expansions, a few user created content modules. I loved it. Just not for the graphics. Early hardware accelerated stuff is pretty painful. NWN2 is great its unfortunate the engines aren't compatible.

Apparently this mod has new music and new tilesets.

I can't wait for them to get into a future patch.

I've never really been interested in any of the paid mods and this is no exception. That said, Pirates of the Sword Coast was great!

I bought the Diamond edition on Gog when it was $2 and I've waiting for EE to go really on sale because they throw in a copy of the all the Premium Mods if you had it. I doubt that includes the new DLC though.

You don't seem to post much here anymore except to overreact to people's comments and then go on mini-rants attacking them for no real reason. On top of that, you seem to have a penchant for exaggeration or straight up dishonesty.

I'm not sure at what point you became so overly sensitive, but if you can't handle other people's opinions on a message board then maybe you should do the rest of us a favor and self-quarantine from posting.

Initial reviews say it's a bit average, is short and has some serious bugs.

I've played very little but NWN:EE for the past 12+ months. User created content, mainly PWs, and the vast array of character building options make for a great challenge and endless variety. To still be around 18 odd years after release speaks for itself.

Looks like there's an initial problem with Lucenna attacking another plot character for infinity. Its a game breaking bug where you can't continue.

However, restarting apparently fixes it.

The new tileset has been built by Zwerkules - Medieval City and its been available for awhile. Zwerkules is hilarious. When he starts daily on Discord he picks someone random on it on to confuse.

That would be great if it gets integrated. Still trying to find out what the music is.

That has been my experience so far as well. Not likely a module I will replay after finishing it ... don’t regret the $4.50 though.

I played all of the official stuff also over the last ~6-9 months (plus Daggerford, which isn’t officially official but was meant to be so I count it), and this is one of the weaker ones, but hey ... not terrible.

Very interesting response. I was not over-sensitive, didn’t over-react, and didn’t go on a rant. You are right that my posting is sporadic, but wrong about the content of my posts. I came to this thread because I am directly interested in NWN and this new module - there was an announcement thread before and now the release thread.

And I do come to loads of threads where NWN is mentioned, and you invariably comment to the negative, occasionally talking about how you ‘tried to play’ but couldn’t. OK, fine ... but I tend to call BS because it is the same thing again and again. It seems much more likely that you decided (like with KotOR) that you don’t like it and therefore whenever it comes up you regurgitate the same exact things over and over.

I am not concerned about negative or contrary opinions, and welcome honest debate ... but that isn’t what is is going on here. You have made your dislike of NWN and NWN:EE clear, and guess what - they aren’t going to magically get better. So perhaps you should contemplate your own actions - and allow those who are actually interested to have a discussion without feeling the need to piss on every thread just to keep over-inflating your post count with incredibly low signal-to-noise nonsense like this?

My response was dead on. You did overreact, as is typical of you lately, and launched a personal attack over it. On top of that, I see you chose to follow it up with yet another personal attack backed up by more of your usual dishonest bullshit.

You say it seems more likely that I decided I didn't like it? What is that even supposed to mean? I played the game before I came to my opinion. Then you mention KotOR which is funny because I played that to completion. I notice you often like to insinuate that someone with a different opinion must not have actually played the game in question. Thing is, I'm pretty sure you know they did. That's just part of that dishonest angle I was referring to.

I said the game was ugly. The horror! The only other comment I've made about NWN recently was after I played the EE a few months back and said it was "extremely clunky" which it most certainly is by today's standards.

That doesn't make someone a troll. If you're going to devolve into a whiny bitch every time someone states an opinion that you don't like, you're better off not posting at all.

That could be anything except Baldur's Gate. At least it isn't JRPG.

any good PWs to try? and do you have an adventuring party you play with?

I reckon its Jade Empire. They haven't soiled that one yet.

Interesting thought ... I would have assumed not since Jade Empire was a ‘commercial failure’ (in AAA game standards) which is why it didn’t get a sequel? But who knows - perhaps they are trying to leverage the old Bioware goodwill?
