E3 2006 has ended… but the stream of information has not as I’m expecting that over the coming week we’ll get reports from people who’ve been there and are now writing up their impressions and putting their videos online and such.
Though I’ll also probably focus mainly on Neverwinter Nights 2 from here on in.
As far as that goes, I’ve kinda lost track of what NWN2 related videos and information I’ve already posted so I’ll just put up a lot of links here and let you sort out what you have and haven’t seen.
Also in no specific order.
IGN.com has [url=
http://media.pc.ign.com/media/674/67438 ... l:1wm5eitb]a number of videos[/url:1wm5eitb] up for NWN2, icluding some quite new ingame footage from the E3 show floor.
Fulgore/Mordaedil just gave me [url=
http://www.e3coverage.com/:1wm5eitb]this page[/url:1wm5eitb] with a pretty nice demonstration of NWN2 in it, again from the show floor (but quite different content, including character creation and the toolset).
GameSpot.com also has a [url=
http://uk.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/neverwint ... 2:1wm5eitb]fair amount of movies[/url:1wm5eitb]. I think I’ve already linked most of them… except the streaming video Stage Show Demonstration. In this GameSpot interviews Feargus about NWN2 while Chris Avellone shows off the game.
At [url=
http://www.alandfaraway.org/:1wm5eitb]A Land Far Away[/url:1wm5eitb] they have a couple of audio interviews with the Obsidian devs answering more community questions. Nice about this over the other inverviews is that here they actually ask questions about things we don’t know yet, though they weren’t able to answer all of them. Quite worth listening to.
NWVault also has some big things for us in store, like videos of the toolset, but it’ll have to wait until they can get it up. In the meantime Maximus posted a [url=
http://nwvault.ign.com/fullstory.php?id=17440:1wm5eitb]teaser screenshot of the toolset[/url:1wm5eitb].
Also know that there has been a little bombshell going off in the Neverwinter community last week, as it became known that the game probably won’t ship with a DM client. Though that seems bad news, it’s not that bad if you consider that Obsidian have clearly stated that they have every intention of releasing a DM client for free (or as part of a patch). The reason it’s likely going to be delayed is because they’ve decided to make some big changes, adding community-requested features and such, to it. Details on exactly what, when and how are sketchy (as Obsidian isn’t sure themselves yet), but they expect to be able to let us know more in a couple of weeks or so.
Alright, that’s it for now. I’ll keep you posted as I come across more.
