    The slide is pretty dope. I'm still debating between a guardian fighter and great weapon fighter.

    I kinda like the drow.

    They're neat!

    It's unfortunate that the only (as far as I know) matriarchal society in the Forgotten Realms is a super-evil race of dark-skinned cave dwellers. but they have spider magic and shit!

    something tells me this game plays nothing like the previews

  • UnbrokenEvaUnbrokenEva HIGH ON THE WIRE BUT I WON'T TRIP ITRegistered User regular
    it plays like an ARPG from what I've heard elsewhere

    main abilities/attacks tied to left and right mouse button, click to attack

    special ability hotkeys with cooldowns of varying lengths

    Has there been a lot of talk about the alignment system in this?

  • TheLawinatorTheLawinator Registered User regular
    No because alignments are dumb.

    Hour and ten to go, Mind Flayer seems to be the server of choice. Even if you already have a group on a different server planned, apparently they're only doing the multiple server thing for a month after launch and then merging them together anyway.

    I thought the Rashemen (Rashemites? Rashemi?) were kinda matriarchal?

    That aside the only vaguely interesting thing in this game is the Forge.
    I might give it a shot if it gets bards but otherwise I just can't bother really.

    I don't take myself seriously.
    You shouldn't take me seriously either.
    Saints Row 1 just wasn't ridiculous enough.

    The fact that they currently have fighters, clerics, wizards, and rogues...

    And next on the list is rangers and warlocks,

    Makes me think that after that will be paladins and druids, because that will be all eight of the classes from the Heroes of the F... books.

    Granted, they're not Essentials subclasses, but they are the same classes.

    Then will probably be the barbarian and the bard, interspersed with another wizard and maybe another cleric.

    Everything that makes Neverwinter Nights great seems to not be in this game, with the exception of the foundry. Hell, if someone just remade Neverwinter Nights 1 with modern graphics and the additional character options from NWN2, I would buy that game AND pay a monthly subscription. The ease of use for making your own campaigns was seriously awesome.

    This just looks like a DLC cash-in MMO that happens to have Neverwinter painted on it at some point midway through production to me.

    Well, the storyline is based on the 4e Neverwinter/Forgotten Realms setting, so...everything's a lot different.

    I've been told the Foundry content so far has been pretty nice, and it's only been a couple of days.

    Yeah, but it wasn't really the host setting that made Neverwinter amazing, it was how you could use it for whatever campaign you wanted to run.

    I'm crossing my fingers for the foundry. That's really gonna make or break my interest.

    Are people having more luck with the direct or torrent download?

    e: torrent was giving me nothing. Direct took a while to get cranking, but it's over 100 KB/s now, which is...decent.

    For me, the torrent took a little time to spin up, but was going at like 1.2 megs after a while.

    It seems like there's a lot of clerics, so I'm probably going to go for a fighter or maybe a wizard. Depends on how bad wizards are in anything resembling melee. They shouldn't be, but control wizards, I could see that being a thing.

    Now, if it was a staff wizard...

    Is that all they've said? "melee wizard" ?

    Because that could be a blade singer.

  • BucketmanBucketman Call me SkraggRegistered User regular
    What. Clerics are all about maces. Thats like, the Clerics go to weapon!

    Anyway, I'm going to download this while I'm at class. Going to make a shield guy fighter

  • Burning OrganBurning Organ Registered User regular
    Yeah, clerics are all about, like, the power of christ compels you to get smashed in your face with my big-ass mace.
    And of course the cleric is a drunk fat dwarf.

    Now I'm just a drunk fat dwarf running around with some pussy ass holy amulet or what-fucking-ever. Fuck that.

  • ToxTox I kill threads he/himRegistered User regular
    Well, I mean, they're broken down by build, and the cleric they currently have is basically the laser cleric. So, yeah, holy symbol.
