Makes you wonder why didn't they make their own engine from the base up, for the first TW game.

When they started making TW Aurora was "the new shit", and I doubt they had any experience in developing engines at the time.

Were the improvements just graphical or did they, like, totally rework almost everything in the engine until only the name was left, or, should I, like, just go check out those old developer diaries instead of sitting here like the fat scum that I am waiting for people to feed me answers?

The UI was completely changed, the graphics were thoroughly revamped. So were the camera, controls, and D&D rules and basically almost nothing recognizable of Aurora was left.

Checked out some NWN 1 videos and... yeah. You're right.

The hands... the hands...

Probably the only thing retained, but even then they were utilized to much better effect.
