<a href=http://www.totalvideogames.com>TotalVideoGames</a> has asked Chris Avellone a <a href=http://www.totalvideogames.com/articles/Neverwinter_Nights_2_QA_Feature_10050_3995_0_0_0_0_20.htm>few NWN2 questions</a>, being curious what the famous team behind "Baldur's Gates" can come up with.

<br>
<blockquote><b>Could you also go into a little detail about the creatures through Neverwinter players can expect to come across?</b>
<br>
<br>
We've chosen monsters not only for their involvement in the story, but for their usefulness to the mod community. If I were to cite a specific creature, I guess I would point to the Succubus, since it has popularity hereto unseen by most denizens of the monstrous manual. This is probably because they "attack" most victims through a means they find pleasurable. If you have to die, it's a hell of a way to go. You may not even mind seeing the death screen as long as you took screenshots of what happened shortly before your character's death, who knows. </blockquote>Intriguing.

[Drakron]

I dont recall much of Fall-from-Grace erotic fan fiction ...

 

[Kendar]

Intriguing way, indeed, to make sure their game will sell. But past has proven it works... Is that what he meant by the "usefulness to the community" ?

 

[Drakron]

A Succubus is not useful for the community ... its pretty much a women with bat wings, you can create one if the toolset allows adding wing meshes to a creature.

 

[Nightjed]

why does he even try to hint about sucubusses using sex-moves ?, everyone and their granmas know they wont risk getting an adult rating that would cause the wall mart god to damn them to poverty

edit: that is, unless them use the hot coffee strategy (6 months with "teen" and then suddently somebody farts and discovers that nwn2 actually has a hardcore porn module you can activate by changing a filename)

 

[Surlent]

I wonder if the succubi will use their flashy moves against female characters too ?

 

[Johannes Teugen]

Hahaha, Messer Avelone will do just about anything to keep people from discussing the "20 hour - cuts" playtime.

"Really, we have softcore porn monsters that are also valuable to the mod community!"

MCA, I know you are reading this. For shame. Ah, well, hate the sin but love the sinner, right? :D

 

[Saint_Proverbius]

I don't know, softcore porn monsters are great. But let's face it, those monsters need to be developed by Europeans, who are the masters of softcore porn.

 

[Drakron]

I don't know, softcore porn monsters are great. But let's face it, those monsters need to be developed by Europeans, who are the masters.

Fixed.

 

[Azarkon]

I think MCA is rather consistent with the creatures that most interest him. From what I've heard of NWN 2, it will feature a female tiefling and a githyanki as joinable NPCs. From this statement, it's obvious that the succubus will be a priority as well. Where have we seen this trio before...

 

[Elwro]

I wonder if the succubi will use their flashy moves against female characters too ?

2 days after it is revealed that due to financial reasons half of the spells had to be cut from the game, in some interview MCA will share the info that NWN2 has a separate model for incubi, to cater for the female non-lesbian group of players.
