    Are you sure that these are the very first screens? I recall having seen some before, but could easily be wrong here.

    Nice work anyways :thumb:

    Actually, the really FIRST ones were on the Dragonshard manual, but those were in black & white, plus some months old.

    http://82.66.132.40/forum/stockimages/nwn2officiel/nwn2_Exclu.jpg

    Obsidian says those screens are 5-6 months old, and those new ones are very improved (which isn't hard to notice). ;)

    I can't wait for the game now. I'll have to pre-order once I get the chance!!

    looking very atmospheric and detailed. And atmosphere is exactly what NWN needs, it's kind of bland and fails to suck you in.

    I just want to ride my dragon. Is there any chance that I can do that in NWN2?

    Maybe they'll have a mod???

    I wonder what the min specs are going to be :eek: Oh well, im gonna be upgrading before it comes out anyway :D I'm hoping they optimise for a dual core system

    Of course, the pics don't say anything of how the gameplay works...

    I kind of like it, the city most certainly looks better than in the original NWN. The graphics also seem nice. Mostly I'm expecting improvements to the combat system which in my opinion was horrible in NWN.

    Heldron, they haven't announced all the min specs yet, but have stated what graphics card will be needed for it. I have no idea about that tech stuff, so I'm going to quote you this...
    Regarding the screenshots though, they are... amazing! All the detail and, everything! Can't wait to get my hands on the toolset! :D

    Hrmm, there is a slight problem with the link: while it goes to where it is supposed to (i think), the post where the Screens are supposed to be says: *Links Removed*

    Is it working with everyone else?

    With orchifunk's first link, I get to the correct page, but the poster has "Links Removed" where the links used to be earlier this week.

    I'm not really looking forward to NWN2, as I can't play very many new games on my computer. My video card is okay, but not in the class with NWN2.

    Ah, sorry about that. I just copied that off another forum (the ALFA one to be exact) with the details. Didn't check to see if it worked first....

    It did work back then. So did the ones at http://www.sorcerers.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php?/topic/27/1023.html

    But they've also been taken down... PC Gamer has sent everyone who'd put them up C&D mails, so they had to take them down. So if you've missed them, either go buy the PC Gamer they've appeared in, or... look for alternative sources. :D
