Sulks alot
Picked it up today.
Seems that TS L632D dvd-drives are incompatible with the copy protection on the discs.

(TS L632D drives are in most "new" dell systems)
Another frisbee, great
Oh how i hate securom

 

Oh my. :s That sucks.


I looked for a copy today, but as I predicted, there was none to be found. Monday in a bigger city then.

 

None in Luxemburg, either.
I'll have to buy it later or get it cheap from play.com(37.49€!).

 

The further I progress into the game, the more I seem to like it, but I still have the one consistant complaint of not being able to drop/add party members at my own descretion. There's probably a different way of doing it that from NWN1, but I don't know it and it bugs me splitting XP 4 ways instead of 2.

 

Has anyone run the game on a NVIDIA GeForce 6800 series video card? If so how does it run?

 

More info - make sure you quick save often (f12). The game has so far autosaved twice in the 6 hours I've put into it and forgetting to save has cost me about 2 hours of redoing stuff the equiv. of going from the Underdark in BG2 back to Irenicus' dungeon... ugh... I think I'm also going to reroll from barb to something else. Berserker is too pathetic with 12 damage/round instead of 2 from frenzy.

 

Posted this in another topic already:

I have ATI Radeon X550, seems that lower X300 & higher X600 are supported. Will mine work?

 

I'm running that very card, and basically everything turned on (which were the settings the game detected for my card), and so far it's running very smoothly. Big caveat here though is that I'm still in the tutorial section of the game (haven't had a lot of free time), so I'm fully expecting slow ups when I get to some of the larger battles. I'm keeping it in 1024 x 768 resolution, as not to press my luck.

 

thnx marceror I was worried it was going to slow down heaps.

 

Got it Wednesday. Played through the tutorial and then some. I'm running the minimum specs, and it works fine, except that it takes as long as 3 minutes to launch the game, and a similar length of time to transition between chapters.

The graphics are great. They're using tons of game engine "movies" in the dialogue, which is very cool (at least the first time through!).

Still learning the ropes on the controls/interface, which seem better in some ways and worse in others than NWN1. The camera is somehow harder to control than NWN1, though I haven't yet put my finger on the issue, and the protagonist sometimes directs his own actions even when script ("puppet") mode is disabled.

My biggest gripe relates to the save function. There is no quicksave, and saving over an existing game requires you to rename the save each time. So, there is no quick and easy way to save.

I'm not deep enough into the story to comment on that yet, and I haven't looked at the toolset at all.

Edit: Doh! Just noticed that someone posted f12 as the quicksave key. Wish I could have found that in the manual or the keyboard assignments!

 

To skip through the movie scenes faster you can left click on the screen and it'll skip the current dialogue and move on to the next. You can keep doing this until it's either over or you're part of the conversation begins.

I'd prefer to be able to go over what was said before I respond sometimes, but that cinematic makes it impossible. Kind've makes you need to pay attention though.

 

I have it!

Or rather, my brother has it, my pc can't run it, so I have to play at his.
Which sucks, cause I can't play it non stop now .

 

Bought it today. Also saw a lonely BG Saga box staring at me, so I bought one of those too, you never know...the old CDs might break and then what?

 

crap. just checked the system specs on gamespot and I flunked on one of the first requirements: 512 RAM

 

Got it on Saturday, thought it was okay, but its a little jerky to control (had to lower the graphics, dispite exceeding all required specs) and cannot download the patch as my router is OOA.

 

I've run into one cutscene glitch--the dialogue played out ok, but the scene itself was a mess--not a game-breaker, but not fun either. I've also had some pathway problems here and there--again, mostly irritants--except when they happen in a combat situation.

Otherwise, gameplay mechanics are similar to Kotors 1 and 2--which is both a good and not-so-good thing. A good thing in that you do have control over your NPC's--a not so good thing in that you need to keep an eye on them or they will do some screwy stuff at times--although I've foudn that by and large they do ok in fights when on tehir own--and there are camera and pathway glitches.

Storywise, right now I'm enjoying how things are developing. I like the characters--even Neeshka--the biggest issue I can see here is that there doesn't seem to be much room for an evil PC to 'prosper' here--the game seems to be following the normal Bioware/Obsidian meme of targeting the story for good PCs and not really giving much of a thought towards an evil directed story arc.

All in all, while a good game, I'd say we're a few patches away from where we need to be.

 

Got it on Friday. Damn good game! Enjoying the storyline so far. In neverwinter at the moment. Excellent graphics. Camera's control is slightly hampering.


SPOILER - SPOILER!


NASHER IS BALD! LOL!

END SPOILER

 

I've just bought it. This is the first game I've bought in bloody ages! I just wanted to take advantage of the update system, which I bet I couldn't with a moody version.

I'll give it a whirl when I get home from work and give the most important verdict of all. The Barmy Army verdict.
