Interview NWN2: Storm of Zehir interview at Actiontrip

[Hümmelgümpf]

And you couldn't fuck the half-celestial chick! No hot inter-species sex0r - what kind of an RPG is that?

 

[Xor]

The fact that companions are optional already means it's leagues ahead of the OC in terms of choice.

Also, I'll finally be able to make an all bard party.

Ahahahaha. hahahahaha. HAHAHAHAHA.. ha...

But yeah, you are right.

 

[Xor]

Seriously. And I'll name my party members Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, and John Bonham. Together, they'll save the sword coast with the power of Rock!

Coming soon to a LP thread near you.

MotB was better, and even at times, dare I say it, good. But if I had to choose between the OC companions or my own created ones, I'll take ones I make.

Eh? What was wrong with MotB's companions?

Nothing, really. They had their awkward moments, but overall they were pretty good.

But quite frankly, after the OC, I didn't want any companions out of hate and bitterness for the shit in there.

 

[Aegeri]

Please, please. Let us start at level 1!

Dear god, no.
Killing dogs and goblins is just boring...

Level 3 would be okay.. or like it was in the NWN2 OC... start at level 1 in the tutorial which brings you to level 3.

*shrugs* You started out killing gray dwarves and other humanoids in the OC.

Still don't understand why they had to kill off the companions. Don't they themselves understand that its the prime feature of NWN 2? The established fanbase wants the same goodness and I don't believe they're going to get a whole load of new buyers with a 2nd expansions.

If it means a more interesting world that reacts to my actions better over hamfisted romances and forcing an NPC down my throat: I know what I'll take.

Every time.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Actually, the funny thing about the plotline killings were that only the those who really deserved to die got killed...

 

[Lumpy]

Every time.

Well, MotB didn't force any companions down your throat, the romances (at least with Safiya) were pretty decent, and they didn't in any way stand in the way of a world reacting to your actions.

 

[Aegeri]

I was thinking more of the incredibly shit NWN 2 OC.

Also, this way, I make my party and I'm 100% sure I have the characters I need and want in it. No having to think "Can I find enough crappy made NPCs to stick into my party to fill out roles, some of whom are really annoying".

I cannot approve of this more.
