    Difference between pixel shader 2.0 and pixel shader 3.0
    I doubt my old GE4 will run NWN2 well.
    It won't run it all. The game requires shader model 2.0 as a minimum which GeForce 4 doesn't support.

    More:
    So will it b possible to run NWN2 on a Gefore 4 Ti 4600 wihtout FORCEING the need to use pixel shaders like having the option to enable or disable it? Cuase 2.0 PS isnt very different from 1.1 PS except for minor differences running HIGHER REZ beyond 800x600. Personaly I think it will be a waste of time making it minamal 2.0 PS Only.
    It may possibly be able to run with the vertex lighting option. Well, the line has to be drawn somewhere and for us and this game...it's 2.0.

    The decision wasn't made because we believed it would make people happy (though I knew some would be). Some of the subsequent discussion touches on other reasons it's getting nixed. We're designing NWN2 to appeal to a wide range of folks - SP players, modders, PW peeps, DMs, and MP players. The plan is that everyone gets something new and cool in NWN2. That's the beauty of NWN1 is with a single-game people got all sorts of possibilities.

    Question about class blancing in NWN2
    I'm not talking about rebalancing for PvP. What I'm most concerned about are big balance problems that come from adapting the PnP rules to a CRPG. Or anything new that's added that hurts balance.
