Tags: Neverwinter Nights 2; Obsidian EntertainmentThis one is shorter than the <a href=http://rpgcodex.com/index.php#4083>Gothic III interview[/url], but apparently it's a weekly thing. Anyways, community manager dude Shane DeFreest (wasn't he the guy who handled community managing stuff on Bloodlines? Small world) posted <a href=http://nwn2forums.bioware.com/forums/viewtopic.html?topic=470443&forum=95>five answered questions[/url] about Obsidian's upcoming NWN2 on the official forums thereof.
2) Will there be a hardcoded penalty to being an evil subrace? I think it would make sense to give drow and duergar a penalty to appraise/diplomacy/bluff/intimidate when dealing with surface races, especially when dealing with drow vs. elves (even more animosity there). I know, it is better for modders to do this themselves, but we all know that they won't. Far better to make it opt out than opt in. I just think it's pretty farsical for the game mechanics to treat drow exactly the same as moon elves in this regard. I think it would make playing one of these subraces more interesting and immersive.
Ferret: It’s been discussed before but we’re focusing our reactivity efforts on players’ choices they make during gameplay, not character creation. That being said something like this is doable – and we’ll look into it. No promises, but it’s now on the List™.NO! BAD FERRET! Player choices during character creation had better be important, otherwise what's the point of character creation?
