NWN Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition - Beamdog's final enhancement - now with new premium modules

[Immortal]

They haven't added anything that wasn't already done as part of the extended client or mods on the vault.

What are you even selling here?

Original developers have teamed with key members of the Neverwinter Nights community to curate important fan-requested improvements to support players, storytellers, and modders.

This is Marketing Speak for.. We backported public mods into the game. They fucking phoned it in.

There's an ongoing countdown on Beamdog's website, but it seems like Kotaku jumped the gun and leaked the unlisted youtube trailer:



Sadly, it looks like just a quick cash grab, with no real improvements:

Basically, the enhancements are limited to a few pieces of UI and the menu scaling properly up to 4K, and the addition of effects like depth-of-field, pixel shaders and post-processing.

Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition includes the base game, along with Pirates of the Sword Coast, Infinite Dungeons, Wyvern Crown of Cormyr and two soundtracks.

It’ll be $20 when it’s out...sometime in the future (though some preorder customers will be given access to a beta). In a nice touch, this new version will be compatible with any old saves you’ve got lying around.

Kinda pointless... Any NWN fan probably already own multiple copies, and I doubt you can sell those graphics to newcomers in 2018. Seems like just an excuse to take a $9 game on GOG and sell it on Steam at $20.

What did you expect

Sounds about right for Beamdog.

Compare BG:EE where they introduced the BG2 stuff into the game and added 4 companions (one of whom is the obligatory alphabet soupy) all of whom are special snowflakes and 3 with special quests centred on them (the last has a whole mod dedicated to him).

With BG2:EE where they introduced 2 companions, one of whom is a joke character and the other is a black lesbian vampire Mary Sue Eeeeeeee-vul ninja pirate zombie SJW self-pleasuring fantasy.

With BE:SoD where they have a tranny, who tells you she is a tranny, and refers to herself as a tranny and did I mention the first thing she tells you is that she is a tranny?

What did you expect

It's their first 3D game re-release, NWN was Trent's baby and they have the full source code... I expected SOMETHING!

Yet, this is their weakest effort ever...

 

[frajaq]

So they're adding more Prestige Classes right? That at least might be interesting I guess

Just download the NWN Community Pack.

 

[Bester]

Next in line: Kotor:EE, Kotor2:EE, and then...

Spoiler

VTMB:EE.

It'll be difficult. But then...

Spoiler

Poe:EE. Mmm I'd buy that for a dollar.

 

[felipepepe]

What, no Arcanum:EE with Drog collaborating?

BTW, Arcanum Multiverse Edition is a better Enhanced Edition than anything by Beamdog.

If it was REALLY trying to be 'enhanced'.. you'd think they'd add NWN2's new classes, prestige classes, spells, and everything else.You know like adding more controllable party members much like BIO did with the expansions.


'ENHANCED' indeed.



Fukkin' ENHANCE. HOLY FUKKL.

LMFAO


"edit: doesn't even have Hordes of the Underdark."

r u retartet? You must work for them because you have ti be retartet. the fukkin' video had HOTU material in it... but you claim it doesn't include it. LMFAO

 

[mediocrepoet]

That was a real trailer/announcement?? Holy shit.

 

[Morality Games]

Wonder if they'll get the 'lost' Premium Modules.

Ah the talentless parasitic hacks from Beamdog are back.

 

[DemonKing]

Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale & Planescape Torment were all regarded as stone cold classics to some extent, and worthy of re-releases. If you weren't into the multiplayer aspect NWN was always considered to be pretty awful - hardly something worthy of a retread.

I suspect given the law of diminishing returns with regards to profitability, this one is going to fall pretty flat.

 

[Volourn]

Why are you lying? NWN was considered a hit. It was also BIO's biggets money making game until the DA/ME combo. The fact you threw IWD in as a 'classic' is laughable. NWN is definitely a classic.

then again, the Codex claimed that NWN would be forgotten within the first couple of year. Over a decade later you still spam threads about NWN.

Definition of CLASSIC.


P.S.

NWN > ALL

 

[Jaesun]

Holy shit, it's like they are reaching for the bottom of the barrel.

NWN Enhanced?

Why??

 

[Grauken]

Will it work with all the mods?, because if not then its even more of a joke

 

[Cael]

Depends on what they did with it. A lot of the mods depended on unused lines in the d2a files. If they went and filled in some or all of the lines, you will have problems.

I'm so happy about this. This game provided some of the best experiences I have ever had in RPG's. Let's just hope they don't try jam any trannies into it.

 

[Zed Duke of Banville]

I'd purchase an Enhanced Edition of the real Neverwinter Nights

 

[taxalot]

You can tell they are quite worried. They are reaching the bottom of the barrel.

I have the feeling they will now try to remaster games from other studios. Fallout 1 and 2 are obvious choices.
