It is, at least until you get to the Keep. From then on the game becomes enjoyable, but the camera, goddamnit, the camera, thank GOD MoTB and SOZ did at least fix it a bit.

NWN2 has some redeeming points although, the NPCs, the voice acting. Vanilla Oblivion on the other hand is liquid shit.

NWN2 VA. FUCK, Neshka still gives me an hardon.

Of course. After all, it's always the publishers fault that their games turn out like shit. Can't bring them down for it, right?

NWN2 OC is just like the Baldur's Gate series, just with better dialogue, writing and story. It goes without mention that I think BGs are both vastly overrated.

Though I'm still confused why people complain about the camera in a game where camera doesn't matter. Not only are you doing most of your commands during pause, there's no platforming or action gameplay either. :?

Character mode and that one other mode I don't remember never worked well for me. It was unwieldy and uncomfortable to look at.

Strategy mode worked fine, never had a problem with it. Far better than Dragon Age Origin's poor topdown view. Then again I didn't buy the game at first launch so maybe the patches fixed it.

Funny story:

I haven't played any of those games. Now that I look back, I essentially stopped playing somewhere in 2004-5.

Let the butthurt ensue...


That's about right

Nope it's not. You can't go below Oblivion/Fallout 3 pair in the same way as temprature can't go below absolute zero :smug:

Of course you can. You just need to redefine absolute 0. Like bioware did with their writing.

I don't get why there would be butthurt. Why do people let someone else's general opinion of a game bother them? OH NO! Someone hates something I like. I am very butthurt about this because everyone should have the exact same opinion on everything.

What bothers me is when people make more-specific statements about games that are actually untrue:

Acceptable statement:
New Vegas is a piece of shit.

I might disagree, but whatever. I can see why some people might not be able to get beyond the fairly awful engine. Their loss, but not my problem.

Unacceptable statement:
New Vegas is just like Fallout 3.
:retarded:

It kind of ruins the joke if you take out the arrow pointing to Oblivion.
