NWN2 Screenshots

I have nooo idea if these are real, but apparently, from a various number of different sources, inback of the new game, Dragonshard, 's manual, there are two small screenshots of NWN2. But of course, in early development.

Hoax or not, still thought you guys might want a peak.

Aaaand.. if it is a hoax.. don't shoot me, hehe >.>

Taken from NwN-CFr.Org (Warning, french site)

I believe you have nothing to fear, Oye

And from what I have seen on the net and have been told (thanks RW), keep your eyes open for the December issue of PC Gamer.

Which should be out some time in the middle of this month, to those on subscription.

The article there should apparently shed some more light on the toolset as well as gameplay and other things.

Those screenshots above are real, but they're around 5 to 6 months old according Brian Lawson, one of the code monkeys at Obsidian.

Which is a pretty good thing since it kinda looks crap there.

That is true as it does look sort of fuzzy and I see the hands are still open when wielding weapons. But, still quite impressive from my eyes for a non-MMO game. And since those screenies are a half-year old.....

Wonder if I subscribe now if I'll get the Dec issue?

Is that a character shapeshifted as a golem behind him? Or can I hope that's an earth elemental? *wiggles her eyebrows* Yeah, I know, its a golem.

*blinks at the Umberhulk and just.. blinks*

Heh... all 3D games have a vetical axis, including NWN, as will NWN2.

Will it allow movement along that axis, like jumping, flying and everything else you can think of - no.

Doesn't mean we won't find ways to deal with that limitation though. Same as with the no overlapping walkmesh thing.

Yeah, for all the hype (that the fans generated), it looks pretty crap.

I hope the proper shots will actually be as good as the Obsidian guys say they are.

Well, the closer the release date the happier I am.

Oh the fun that awaits.

It has been confirmed that these shots are 6+ months old and were accidentially leaked, not "official" by any means.

I think Brian said the ones coming up in PC Gamer look like a completely different game. I snagged the reference Deph was talking about.

I won't say they don't, because I don't like to knock my own game/work. But, let's just say those are easily 5+ to 6 months old. As I've already said several times, things have changed and improved quite a bit. The tech was still under heavy development at the time, and I'm sure Darren Monahan, our producer, who mocked that page up for Atari as an "example" never intended for those to be released to the public. That aside... I hope you all have your subscriptions to PC Gamer.

There you'll get a much more accurate reprsentation of what's going on "today"...and not 6 months ago.

Nice new graphics, but if the weapons look that crap on the final product then I'll laugh myself to death.
