Neverwiner Nights 2 GenCon Preview

Thanks and sloppy kisses to the Neverwinter Night Vault for plumping up my NWN2 chubby with this GenCon preview and interview with Obsidian Daddy Feargus Urquhart and NWN2 Lead Designer Josh Sawyer. A lot of the questions are rather technical, but post-E3 efforts mentioned were streamlining the mouse controls and improving character models (yay), adding a level map, and improving camera angles (double yay). Also, and my fellow d20 dorks will share my giddiness, I’m sure: background selection during character creation (such as Bully, Farmer, Ladies’ Man, etc) to modify some skill checks and influence NPCs reaction to the player. What’s more, Feargus throws down all of the original Prestige Classes (total yay), minus the Shifter, but adds new ones such as Arcane Trickster and Shadow Thief of Amn. Is that alone not reason enough to break our your +1 pom-poms and wave those spirit fingers? Check out the whole spiel and talk about it our brand new forums! How great are we? Spirit fingers, everybody!
