Its happening Already..

Post by Mr Bean »

To all you RPG Fans out there, I heard word today through an old friend that there is already a group hard at work to do a Complet Converison for the Neverwinter Nights Game into full SW Glory. Expect some news next month and a trial release towards the end of this year

I don't know who's on this design team but I've heard quite a few people are

Hopes are high, I'll let you know when I know more

Sorry. I don't really keep up with PC shit games. Also, why waste the time on a mod that will constantly give you headaches. Galaxies is on the way.

So what exactly was the Neverwinter games? I've never heard of them, except that obviously they are RPG games as you've pointed out. What's makes these good? I'm still guessing this would cost a monthly membership fee to play also.

Well seing as people don't know Neverwinter Nights is a game
You buy it for 49.99 if your a smuck or 24.99 if your a re-seller or have a resellers licesen such as myself :P
Offical Site and the Planet Site
http://nwn.bioware.com/
http://www.planetneverwinter.com/

Neverwinter Nights Has no full monthly fee of any sort its is in short A game with every concvivable 3rd Edition Rule Built in along with a Tool-set letting you change absoulty everything but the grahpics engine of the game though you can skin models and such and add them in if you choose through a handy wizard

Third is a DM_Client that is easy enough for a blind monkey to learn even inculding such things as possesing NPC, spawning or De-spawning them at random and calling up prescripted Marcos with enough flexiblity to do everything to Have a Dynamic conversation with NPCs to with the press of a button summon a white Dragon that turns the PC's into Newts then goes on to ravage the neighby town

Also included is a world generator which I have not see more easy to use that those who remeber Star-Crafts map generator only even easier to use
The Conversion will be from everything to rule system to completly new texture and skins.

The main story of Never-winter is as best a flash in the pan and thats being generous, The main draw of the game is its near an exact replication of the normal Table Top D&D features minus the nuttieness, However there are already Mods(Modfications IE FREE) in the works by certian people to allow you to do everything from creating an unwilling Goblin Battering Ram to the classic insanity people come up with after certian amounts of caffiene and cheetos are consumed such as the Paladin miffed he could not get a Flaming sword, dousing himself in "Holy Water" and then charging into the nearst group of enemys and lighting himself on fire :twisted: He achived the effect he was going for even if he did manage to get himself killed, Of course the Cleric was on hand pop him back alive to repeat the proccess :twisted:

hope that clears up matters
