    Here are today's Neverwinter Nights 2 forum highlights, collected by NWVault. 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.

    Will my PC be able to walk UNDER the Bridge he/she just Crossed OVER?
    We are just as dissapointed as you guys are. Something like over/under would take an ample amount of time for multiple programmers, and we feel that that time could be better spent elsewhere.

    Are there bunny rabbits?
    Unfortunately, bunny rabbits are not going to be in. As was mentioned, quite some time ago we took a real hard look at putting in bunny rabbits, but in the end it was going to prove too radical a change for the rest of the engine.Technically, the new walkmesh and pathing system is designed with bunny rabbits in mind... but the walkmesh is but one part of a very large and complex game engine. When considering the implications of bunny rabbits on the rest of the game systems that were already in place (AI, D&D rules implementation, scripting, et al.), it simply proved to be not practical. And we still want to ship in 2006, not 2007... I suspect y'all feel the same. ;) Just kidding, of course... I couldnt resist. [​IMG]

    NWN2 Graphical Benchmark - How close can you get?
    I know speculation is often times fun. But more often than not...as it's already appearing in this thread, you get people who are quite "negative" while claiming that all they're doing is keeping the expectations real and low.All that's REALLY doing is stirring up the masses and getting everybody up in a bunch.Why doesn't everybody just save all of it, kick back and relax and wait for the PC Gamer issue to arrive? ;)Why cause yourself more angst, grief, and aggravation than you need to? :lol:I'm sure some people will hate what they see or read (there are always a few in the bunch) and I'm sure a lot of you will like what you see or read.We'll obviously be able to discuss some more things at that time. But until then...it's all speculation on your part.If there'a anything Art or Graphics related that pertains to the here and now (i.e present) then I'd be happy to answer the questions...if I can. :cool:

    More:
    (I know that reply is probably not just to me, but I've said several things negative so I'm replying :) )
    Oh, I know. And my post wasn't directed at anyone in particular. But I'm sure you are all familiar with how threads like this can go. They can turn into a real crap fest...quickly.I was simply trying to preempt that from happening. Fortunately you and many of the other posters are able to see my point and appreciate that effort. That is much appreciated on this end too.Anyway, I think it's an exciting time for all of us...as developers and as gamers on both ends.
