Not entirely unexpected. Good thing an upgrade is on the horrizon. Along with the wedding, house, furniture, ...

HEF, u lucky devil. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

as for me, an upgrade is not really desirable unless i have the money for it. my ATi radeon 9000 Pro has been with me for less than a year even though it is not new, i am sad that my investment might not last as long as i like it to be.

maybe i can sneak by with 2.2 ghz

is a NVidia GeForce FX 5700LE better? or is it older?

5700 is better, I think. But graphiccards are a jungle. Check Wikipedia on the GF 5 serie (search for GeForce, and find the GF 5 link in the text) and see if they have any info on that matter.

And at least I have the minimum requirements <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />!

Übereil

I predict a crash sometime in the future, as the prices of the graphic cards needed to run these latest games with insane requirements will force most people to fall further behind and thus huge chunks of possible game sales will be missed.

Just like myself not buying Oblivion because I could never run it. I wont be getting this game either. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

well, i tried wikipedia, and it looks like there is no Geforce 5 instead it is called Geforce FX, so i think 5700 is better then a 5600ultra.

Is there a demo of NWN you can download somewhere?

EDIT: i downloaded the demo, and i'm currently playing through the acadamy. like is it worth to buy NWN or do i wait till NWN2 comes out?

NWN was great you can probably find that platinum version that has all the expansion packs for 30 bucks.

Fantastic game...it came out what four years ago...I still play.

don't buy it, there isn't as many people online as there were back then, plus the campaign is boring

just wait for nwn2

crap, well i think i will wait for NWN2 and like if i really like it, or if i feel i am missing a part of its history ill buy NWN.

I disagree! NWN's single player campaign seemed somewhat simplistic because we were all used to Baldur's Gate I and II at the time, but in the end you'll have a lot of fun and the two expansions are much better than the original campaign. I'd still advice to buy this game any day, especially the platinum edition.

NWN2's story is separated from NWN1, so you don't have to worry about that. Besides, there's not much story in the first game anyway <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />.

And Macbeth, it wasn't somewhat simplistic. It was just an exuse to go kill stuff. And that's not what a story is supposed to be like, and I hope Obsidian share this view.

Übereil

well, i don't know anymore. i guess it will depend on the price of the platinum edition.

Sorry, but that's BS. The story of NWN is quite good and the two expansions are very good. And in good D&D tradition the game is certainly not just about 'killing stuff', that's a gross over-simplification.

Then how come pretty much the only thinkg you did in chapter one was kill stuff? I don't recall a single quest that didn't involve killing something.

Übereil

That's because chapter one is the most linear one and a bit uninspired. For me the game really began once you left Neverwinter. Once you were outside the city you could really start to explore the big world out there and the quests became much more varied. You could compare it to Divine Divinity: first you have to plough through that big dungeon beneath Aleroth which can be somewhat of a turn-down, but once you leave the town the game really picks up.
The bottom line is that if you can find this Platinum Pack for a reasonable price you buy countless hours of fun time RPG. I say do it. You won't regret it.

Strange, all I did in act 1 was fighting. Might have been because I stopped playing in act 1 due to all the fighting...

What I remember from seeing about my brother playing NWN1, hi didn't seem to do much but fighting either.

Übereil

But Act I is only Neverwinter if I'm not mistaken.

Neverwinter is the prolouge IIRC. If it isn't, I'm talking about act 2.
