More NWN2 Goodness from Gen Con

Post by Shir'le E. Illios »

And Austicke has even more photos, making for four days of GenCon and [i:3p0px6ro]loads[/i:3p0px6ro] of information, including photos of the descriptions of all races and classes (in the demo build).

From [url=http://gallery.usticke.org/v/gaming/gcn ... l:3p0px6ro]this photo[/url:3p0px6ro] the drow description starts (click “next” for the description). Two things in particular I noticed here was that it seems that (in the demo build at least) drow get elven weapon proficiencies (instead of the drow ones). It also seems to suggest that drow only have wizard as favored class. I’m hoping that that last one is only because Austike had a male drow selected (female drow are supposed to have cleric as favored class). If not I’ll have to do some 2da-editing (and make it cleric for both, which, I think, is better than wizard for both).

Also, starting from [url=http://gallery.usticke.org/v/gaming/gcn ... l:3p0px6ro]this photo[/url:3p0px6ro] Austicke tries out the drow level adjustment. It seems that drow need 6,000 XP to get to level two (humans need 1,000 XP to get to level two and need 6,000 XP total to get to level 4). Then they need 4,000 XP more (10,000 XP total) to get to level 3. This is slightly different from the rules described in FRCS where you need only 3,000 XP to get to class level 2, but I’m assuming that the difference is because everyone starts at level 1 and with the extra experience everyone should hit ECL 4 (or rather ECL 5 counting svirfneblin with their level adjustment of +3) at the same time. This seems fine to me.

Finally there is also a [url=http://www.nwn2wiki.org/Videos:3p0px6ro]bunch of videos[/url:3p0px6ro], all in one page and using YouTube so you can watch them on the spot. Five of the videos (taken by cdaulepp) show a big battle nearer the end of the game at the player’s keep. Looks impressive.

And if that isn’t enough NWVault has posted [url=http://nwvault.ign.com/fullstory.php?id=20211:3p0px6ro]the second official trailer[/url:3p0px6ro], showing more ingame combat (at a better quality than the hand-recorded videos).

And don’t forget to check out the photos of drow skin colors [url=viewtopic.php?t=258:3p0px6ro]I posted about[/url:3p0px6ro] in the previous news item. ;)

Good stuff.
