Neverwinter Nights thread

My entire life I have been pointedly against preordering, for multiple reasons. I now broke that for the first time.

How is it?

Not out yet, but looks good. They promise compatibility with old saves, so this might be really good.

I remembered that there was some sort of beta access but I guess I remembered wrong.

>They promise compatibility with old saves
Excellent!

I am downloading the "Head Start" right now. Shit looks good

>NWN: EE A Dance With Rogues

Will it be compatible with old modules?

"Backwards Compatibility: Works with save games, modules, and mods from the original Neverwinter Nights. A galaxy of community created content awaits."

From the FAQ. So that's a big yes.

I guarantee it will not and I've been screencapping the posts of the idiotic faggots/beamdog shills who say it will

Guess who's going in the collage little guy

beamdog has their own game launcher? gross

Aren't you the cunning linguist. Why do you think it won't?

> REEEEEEEE SHILL
Can't I be excited for the re-release of a game I like? Jesus, the absolute state of Sup Forums

Depends if they decide to add more support for models and animations.

This is literally just repackaging NWN and selling it for double its price, while removing the normal version from sale.

Anyone have any idea how to run the dedicated server on Linux? I've been searching the internet all day trying to figure out how to run the "nwserver-linux" executable on 64-bit Ubuntu Server.

What did they pay for you? You reek so hard of viral marketer you could smell it from orbit

And no you can't be excited for another pointless rehash from Beamdog. From the video that THEY POSTED there is not a single visible upgrade to the game. They are literally just cashing in on someone else's hard work, and they'll probably just make Aribeth a tranny and say they did something like with BG2

Retarded nigger

Fucking thank you

I'm literally sitting in my room procrastinating on my wave theory homework, you mong.

Now tell me why you think there won't be backwards mod compatibility? They are claiming there is, and if there isn't I'll refund because false advertising.

The only argument you could make for this is making the premium modules officially available again, without having to pirate them. According to the steam page, theyre going to be sold as individual DLC, though. Like wtf, just bundle them with the game.

>beamdog
>neverwinter nights
Can two negative make a positive?

> he doesn't like the best DnD game out there

>he likes garbage

Name a better one

Because they are shit at programming? And because all the decent mods mostly employed some of the ugliest hacked-in shit that would break every version and all stopped updating at different versions? And memedog's shitty pajeets are going to poop out a build of the client that works with every single one of them? and hak paks? and overrides? and alterations to core classes and spells? Fucking lmao. You'll get the handful of shitty premium modules to work after you've paid your jew masters and not a one more. They'll throw up their hands and say welp, those content creators messed around with the game in ways we couldn't anticipate so sorry goyim, no refunds lol

I hope you're better at wave theory than seeing the blindingly obvious

The sequel

Damn I just feel bad for you son. You really missed out on something special.

>spent two years of my life on making a module that now wont be compatible with the version of the game most people are going to play
why.jpg

You make a good point mate. Be it as it may, getting a refund is pretty easy, so I do not worry. I'll just charge back and take the beamdog ban like I care.

Dude what the fuck is wrong with you

slut

You asked for better not good

It's literally worse in every way

Nope

>doing it >for free

Which part of it is better, exactly?

The oc, the expansions, the companions, the feat, the class

>the expansions
>the companions

Wow alright I can't do this

Also quickcast menu

> adding bazillion broken prestige classes makes classes better

Literally the only thing I liked about the NWN2 UI. Otherwise the UI was unmitigated shit

>I can't refute the irrefutable

Why is everyone saying old modules won't be compatible? I've seen nothing to indicate this. I've already loaded my old PW into the new toolset and it works fine.

>nerfing the already weak as shit Monk for no fucking reason
No thanks, i'll keep my Diamond copy on GOG

Even the base class are better, compare nwn2 bard to nwn bard

Thank you, this will do nicely

I am honestly starting to suspect you are some kind of competitor's shill

>beamdog bans the module and any mention of it because it features rape among other things
I am just anticipating them doing something silly along those lines.

>premium modules
Just wanna add for anyone interested in these(with current non-EE NWN) that you can pirate them, but it's not straightforward. First you download the modules:
neverwintervault.org/project/nwn1/module/bioware-premium-modules

Then you have to use this program with your cd-key to generate offline authentication files:
neverwintervault.org/project/nwn1/other/tool/premium-module-offline-authenticator-generator

nice advertising. where the fuck are the mods?

Doesn't quite fit the theme but I'll put it in anyway

All you are trying to do is suppress the hype of those who are excited. You carry no informative tone nor any kind of good argument. You just shoot us all down. Let me be optimistic for a while.

neat

>Banning a module hosted on a website that has nothing to do with them
How would that even work?
Maybe give your next post a little more thought.

I made my argument here But thank you for admitting you have no real basis for wanting this explosive shit-mess except blind optimism

Also I'm trying to prevent your employers from getting paid by idiot faggots to ruin another game

> I'll say he's being paid again that will get him

Your dedication suggests a paid anti-marketer.

...

I was anticipating this post, also.
They have modding boards on their forums.

They could write code specifically to be i compatible with Adwr

So if it's just a diamond edition with compatibility patch (which it doesn't really need), what do I get for my money? Another fanfic tier story additions?

Right right I represent the well-known competitor ???? who are currently developing competing game ???????? and engaged in a massive counter-viraling campaign

If it's any consolidation, I agree with you. Beamdog are the fucking worst. They killed my favourite game.

That might be actual autism.
I'm not expecting much from EE myself because I generally don't have much faith in beamdog, but those ebin screencap compilations le shillposting are even dumber than that.

$20 for next-gen shaders

They'll stay empty. The majority of modding community is on nwnvault, I don't see the reason for them to migrate.

He's probably just some "anti-SJW" guy from Sup Forums who is still pissed that they added the trans character in one of their other games, so he has to shit on everything else they do.

Wherever you're from, you have to go back.

Cool well you're going to be in one famigliano Nice samefag

wow I hope they add some trannies then the game is perfect

>Buying something from "PLEASE GIEF GOOD REVIEW YOU SEXIST SHITS" Beamdog.

Lol was this strategy in your briefing materials?

They took a beloved classic game about a fantasy world and put their real-world politics in it. I would be every bit as mad if it was Sup Forumsshit instead of progressive shit. The fact that you aren't makes you a dumb little fag who shouldn't be allowed to spend his mommy's money

why are you getting a downgraded shitty version instead of the real thing?

Nailed it.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions. Now we can discount all the other stuff you pulled out of your ass talking about NWN:EE in this thread, because we know you made it all up.

I'm sure they also made it worse somehow.
That's just remasters in a nutshell. Fucking cancer.

Anyone who actually buys this needs to be gassed. First of all, if you haven't played NWN1 back when it was released, you're either underage or a fucking cancer. Secondly, NWN1 OC and expansions aren't even good. Yes, even Hordes of the Underdark was complete dogshit. People only care about NWN1 modules, not NWN1 itself. Thirdly, Beamdog will not deliver on their promise of backwards compatibility, because they are incompetent shitstains who will inevitably fuck up. They couldn't do it with BG2, even though modding BG2 with Tactics and Ascension is the only correct way to play it, they won't be able to do it with NWN1.

These threads are made by blatant Beamdog shills, you fucking subhumans are disgusting.

no but it can't be that hard, what's your problem?

Yeah I guess people will have to compare my sensible predictions to your viral marketing handbook, this really turned into a disaster for me as soon as you started shrieking about Sup Forums and "anti-sjws"

Is the modding community still alive?

NWN2

Neverwinter Nights 2 is shit.
The first one, however, is amazing.

Probably. It'd be more alive if the original nwvault didn't die. The new one is a fucking mess and nobody really uses nwnnexus in comparison. There's still some player worlds that are relatively active.

...but why? You are paying for air, this will be the same version that's currently on gog, no new gameplay or engine features.

>"""""enhanced""""" edition
>nwn at all

Having difficulty actually running the executable.
"file nwserver-linux" shows:
ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux.so.2

When I try to run it, I get:
error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

libstdc++6 is already installed.

You're paying for more bugs

NWN2 and especially MotB aka the best D&D game ever made.

>no new gameplay
Do you count balance changes as new gameplay?
Like turning monk from being a weak class into a more shittier one

well clearly you don't have libstdc++ bro.
probably missing the 32-bit version.

MotB had a great story, but NWN2 as a whole was a shit game that ran like shit, looked like shit, and was a floaty clunky mess in general. The best D&D game was Temple of Elemental Evil.

>Beamdog "balancing" anything properly

Shit, you're right. I thought I had both 64 and 32 bit versions installed, but I only had 64 bit.
It's working now.

Lol, too bad NWN1 was literally the worst RTwP RPG.

>The best D&D game was Temple of Elemental Evil.
>aka bugbear genocide simulator
ToEE had a great turn based combat system, arguably one of the best TB combat systems ever seen in vidya RPGs (still pales in comparison with much more advanced systems in pure turn based tactics games like Mordheim or Warmachine, but this is a comparison outside the genre, which already speaks in favor of ToEE), however, the encounter design in that game was pure, uninspired cancer apart from the St. Cuthbert and Balor fight and the quests were some of the most generic and bland ever seen in RPGs. All in all, ToEE is a great engine/combat system base for a game, but as a game itself it's utter dogshit.

NWN2 has a shit engine and is unplayable.

Aren't the dragon age games RTwP?

>giving money to Beamdog
It's your first pre-order and you went full cancer with it, congratulations.

it's designed to be a dungeon crawler, it's all about combat, not story.

there is also PoE which is awful

So why was NWN2 removed from Steam again?

kill yourselves, both of you

Too bad the combat is shit, because you kill bugbears for half of the fucking game.

Your opinion is very important to the CRPG playerbase. Please, keep us informed.

The Steam version fucking sucked anyway. You couldn't use the client fixer or extender or whatever with it because of Steam's added DRM.

That meant you had to either reboot every time you wanted to play, or put up with a fucking slideshow, because the brilliant programmers who worked on NWN2 decided to use the computer's uptime to make animation calculations.

>reviewers
you do realize reviews stopped being relevant a food 10 years ago?
they're just a bunch of kids with no experience of video games and no taste at all. Anything above 8 is a serious sign that the game is terrible.
