Game News New Storm of Zehir trailer

[Elwro]

Tags: Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir; Obsidian Entertainment

There's a new trailer of the upcoming NWN 2 expansion available at <a href="http://www.atomicgamer.com/file.php?id=71679">AtomicGamer</a> and <a href="http://files.filefront.com/Neverwinter+Nights+2+Storm+of+Zehir+Trailer/;11624657;/fileinfo.html">Filefront</a>. It's good to see that the devs have apparently listened to complaints concerning the previous videos and decided to include some text this time. Let me just quote the abovementioned text in its entirety:<blockquote><font size="5">A DOOMED VOYAGE
<br>
<br>
SHIPWRECKED ON A HOSTILE SHORE
<br>
<br>
A NEW ADVENTURE BEGINS</font>
<br>
</blockquote>Of course a NWN 2 preview video wouldn't be complete without close-up shots of combat, now featuring an apparently new Huge Beast with Claws.
<br>
<br>
I'm of course already sold on Storm of Zehir, as is the rest of the Codex even if they pretend otherwise, but I'd really like to hear more e.g. about the "Teamwork Benefit System" instead of getting many chaotic, flashy shots of combat.

Yay!!! I've always been a big fan of exploring the unknown type of stories.

Moar please.

 

[Warden]

That's an old clip Elwro.

 

[thesheeep]

Shipwrecked on a hostile shore?

Wtf? Seriously, I thought they were capable of something that doesn't sound like one has already heard that like a billion times before. I hope they have a good excuse for that. Or a good game to make up for it

 

[Mojo]

D&D meets Lost? Seriously though, I'm looking forward to this.

That's an old clip Elwro.

Old? I'm sorry, I've been out of the loop for a few weeks and just believed Blue's News when they posted it today... thx for pointing it out.

Baby jesus..
What do you want? Shipwrecked on an alien spaceship?

I like the start of SoZ, sounds very intriguing... I simply love the idea of being shipwrecked on a hostile shore.

 

[Volourn]

Horriblee trailer. (i avoid them when i can) Probably good game.

Ok, now I don't want to sound like I am attacking you or anything but...billions? Srsly?

If so, I want to know so I can play these games I have been missing!

Also, I am not exactly thrilled with the trailer either, especially when compared to the Witcher EE trailer, but I'll take what I can get for an expansion.

 

[Skald]

Mask of the Betrayer was the best form of advertisement for a new expansion anyway. But we're expecting simliar quality, Anthony

 

[Starwars]

I kinda like the mood of the start of the trailer, pretty nicely put together.

The rest is action video though which, as has been mentioned a million times now, isn't exactly the strength or focus of these games.

Been getting reaquainted with your Tantal(Beryl?) no doubt?

 

[Volourn]

Wrong. The combat in NWN2 is aweosme. Go away, troll.



"Also, I am not exactly thrilled with the trailer either"

Oh noes, you didn't! I'm reporting you to your Obsidian bosses!

Oh Volly, you rascally rapscallion!

You left out the part where I said "especially when compared to the Witcher EE trailer" and also where I mentioned that I'll take what I can get for an expansion.

Besides, the day my bosses don't want me to be honest, they just have to tell me.

Can't wait.

 

[Elwro]

BTW, it seems this is a new video after all. It's advertised on Obsidian's homepage, which also contains a link to Kotaku.

The Wittgenstein dude does not err!

I was exaggerating a bit, sry for that. But that is not a new beginning. The Gothic II addon (afaik), Gothic 3... and the new game from the devs, Risen, all start that way or similar.
Now that I think of it, it really is Piranha Bytes fault that I have this impression. Blame them!

But I'm quite sure I played other games with a very similar beginning, too. I just can't remember them o.O
Well, maybe that impression is wrong. :wink:

 

[Trash]

Trailer doesn't look that great. Being stranded at an unknown shore does sound awesome though. I'm a big fan of these kind of stories. Really looking forward to this, though I do hope we'll see the same quality as the MOTB provided.

Oh, and I do look forward to see what modders will do with that overland map. Looks like one kick ass feature.

 

[thesheeep]

Fallout mod :shock:

 

[Trash]

Nah, fallout would suck ass with this engine and combat model. I'm thinking about the real cool classic stuff like exploring snowy mountains and dark forests. Though real ambitious modders could really knock us out with whatever they come up with. Blazing dessers with floating city's or a depiction of Dante's hell springs to my mind.

 

[Claw]

I was exaggerating a bit, sry for that.

What's wrong with you? The correct reply is "That was hyperbole, moron! "
We've got a reputation to lose!

The Gothic II addon (afaik) (...) all start that way or similar.

Wait, what? Clearly, you don't. The addon "starts" with the discovery of a new area that you then explore, but then that's typical of any RPG. You can return to the main area of Gothic 2 at any time.

Wrong with ME?!
YOU failed to get the irony in that!
GARRRRRR!!!!

Looks like I confused it for something else, then

 

[Fat Dragon]

Definitely shaping up to be another good expansion pack, looking forward to this.

When I buy this game I will play it.

 

[SimpleComplexity]

If that addon is so boring and uninspired as the trailer then good night!

I don`t even think this is worth a news post. And why do i think that i have seen that "new Huge Beast with Claws" before? I think it is from the NWN2 OC.
When i don`t buy this game i won`t play it.
