I gotta wait another year plus??????????????? Which will probably mean they'll have yet another expansion pak for it.... Or you can try some more of the user created mods. Perhaps even create a mod yourself.... :bump: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobsbrat Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Now do you really want me to disappear? you know what happens when I play that game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellilion Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 I was going to post but bob beat me to it. If it gets delayed like the first one did we might not see it till 2008. I willing to wait, it should be sweet. :bump: My wife won't be to happy about this, she refers to NWN as "That Game"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.Ob. Posted August 6, 2004 Author Share Posted August 6, 2004 More NWN2 info: Neverwinter Nights 2 First Details (4 pages of goodness) "While the sequel will be built on the same engine as the original, it will be a highly enhanced version of the Aurora engine, and you can expect some graphical updates to take advantage of current hardware. "Basically we're going to take the original Neverwinter Nights and for all intents and purposes gut certain parts of it and totally rewrite them for things like DX 9, newer hardware and effects like all the new pixel shaders," Darren Monahan told us." Neverwinter Nights 2 interview on GameSpy with Feargus Urquhart "GameSpy: Where are you drawing inspiration from? Are you looking to any classics? Urquhart: We've been talking a lot lately about older games and how games have evolved since then. We have particularly been looking at some of the Ultimas -- how they really made the world almost a character in the game. When you played games like Ultima IV, you got to really know the world and you had things you wanted to do in it that weren't just making your next level. We'd really like to return to a bit of that in Neverwinter 2" NWN2 Interview with BioWare CEOs "10) Can we expect any future official BioWare modules for either the original Neverwinter or the upcoming sequel? Ray Muzyka : Maybe - more info on this will be revealed soon! " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conan4Life Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 baaah not even an early engine screeny shot.. wont be out till 2007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellilion Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 yeah no screen shots at all but one thing I know is it's using the same engine as the first one just highly modified to take advantage of direct X 9.0 hardware so maybe it won't take as long as the first did to create. They won't have to create engine from ground up so hopefully it will be out in 2006. Maybe even early 2006, fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.Ob. Posted August 27, 2004 Author Share Posted August 27, 2004 Neverwinter Nights 2 Preview "GD: So someone who hears you're using Aurora again probably has a very different concept from reality. FU: Yes. I don't know what people think it means. Every time you use an engine, it's an evolution. Sometimes it changes a little, sometimes it changes a lot. When does it become Aurora 2.0? We're not in the position to call it that, because it's not our engine. If it was, I probably would call what we're doing for Neverwinter 2 Aurora 2.0, just because of all the changes we're going to make."
