    Here are today's Neverwinter Nights 2 forum highlights, collected by NWVault from Obsidian Forums. Please take into account that these are only single parts of various threads and should not be taken out of context. Bear in mind also that the posts presented here are copied as-is, and that any bad spelling and grammar does not get corrected on our end.

    Familiars
    We're still in pre-production over here - and one thing we're considering is making familiars more like the 3.5 rules. Meaning familiars give a bonus to some skill or another and perhaps can be used to scout around. But they wouldn't be effective in combat or have any cool skills on their own. How does that jibe with you folks?

    Seamless Transitions
    What everyone needs to realize is that if a game is going to support a streaming world with no loading screens, the entire game needs to be architected from the ground up to support it. Literally every system in the game, and every script in the game, needs to be constructed differently to take this into account. (This is mentioned in the DS paper I linked earlier -- for example, every script in the game needs to take into account the possibility that things a script is acting on can simply disappear.) The original game was not constructed with streaming in mind, so I wouldn't hang your hopes on this being added to NWN2.
