NWN Impressions

After a long ass install, to realize the CD-ROM drive was reading it slow. I put it in my CD-RW, and installed in 10 minutes. Long time? Yes, but you are copying 2GB of data. As long as 40 minutes of install, then crash, follow by another 2 hours? Hell no!

The graphics are nice, and the game runs very smoothly. I'm running it in 1280x1024, with 64MB textures, and all details maxed. Looks great.

As for the gameplay, the story seems nice from what I've encountered so far. Seems to be a spinoff of what really happened in the Middle Ages. Story moves sorta slow, but that's probably because I'm just beginning in the prelude, and are doing the tutorials and that crap. Gotta wait to see how it develops.

There is actually 5 chapters in the official campaign. Prelude, and chapters 1-4. Then of course you can make your own modules, and download other ones. Basically, this game isn't going to end.

I just played multiplayer for a second. Thankfully you can use your name from nwn.bioware.com, which you all SHOULD be members of

Either way, I played a little of the prelude online, and it's basically the same thing, but with multiple people. Diablo fans know how it works.

Anyway, you all should get this game. It's gonna be hella fun.

Pfft... you guys are no fun. Who was getting it anyway? Neo, BlueFire?

Haha. Just heard someone give his impressions after 5 hours. He said he made a wizard, but the gang leaders raped him like 5 times and he's pregnant.

Anyway, I got this one chick now. She's a real hottie

I saw the game in Electronic Boutique today. I wanted to buy it, but well you know....sucky computer and all

I would have pre-ordered ED there too, but the place is like an hour away. They said they'd have it the day before my graduation, but I'd have no way to get there because the car will be gone that day. And well I'd like to get it on the 24th too

. They were going to give me one of those deals gekko's always trying to get

. If I pre-ordered it ($5 down), I would have gotten a free player's guide.

I'll probably pick up my copy from Best Buy tomorrow.

I'm getting my copy today if Best Buy and Software ETC aren't already sold out yet.

I might get it... it depends on the price and i'm also planning to get a bunch of other games like ED...
