Ranting about D2 but praising BD at the same time? That's odd because I find the demo and D2 similar. I'd expect you to praise both.
Sigh, you just won't let it up. If you think the demo sucks, you are consuming your own braincell. You are entitled to your opinions! Stand by it!
I don't find BD and D2 similarly, and I am stand by it. So don't waste breath trying to persuade me. So you find BD and D2 almost the same? Well, good!
I did. Simply doesn't work. Maybe it's a bug, but that doesn't make BD look good.
Maybe they shall put this in the beta doc, ah? Click on the Show All Skillpaths button, and a cross will appear. Then click on the Wizard box. You shall see the available skills for the wizard. Kiya demostrated that too. No, there is no conspiracy to change your mind about the demo. You said the demo sucks.So of course, to you the demo sucks!
^^^ You admitted you didn't play past chapter 1, what would you know about the OC?
That it sucks, period. And that's my opinion, as stubborn as the dwarven stonedoor of their hidden knowledge. I play mid-way into chapter 2 and lost interest. A lot of people I knew lost interest in the NWN campagin.
It earns you money and that counts. Atleast you can act like a [nocando], a good guy or a neutral in NWN, in the demo you cannot even do that.
Harping about NWN in this respect then you should critize the BD demo also.
And you are able to pick-pocket in DD and the skills are in BD too. Look you, for are pining for a complete game when they only give you the demo. The demo doesn't satisfasted your expectations. You expect that this <150 MB of download includes all the skill trees, role-playing options, detailed conversation tree and the kitchen sink, while at the same time having music, graphics, customisable models, inventories, weapons, enemies, spell, images, textures and special effects and combat. Take any one of them away so that there will be more feature will only inccur more gripping from the audience. Maybe you shall download NetHack or Angband instead.
Point is? You are stubborn convinced that the demo sucks as much as I am stubbornly convinced that the demo is fine. There's no really big right and wrong here. Enjoy your opinions. No one is forcing you to change your mind about the demo. What we, the Beyond Divinity Evangelists, are concerned is that you get to give the demo its deserved chance to woo you, to see it fully before making a decision about the demo. It seems that you have invested quite an amount of time in the demo and have came to your conclusion. It's not a knee jerk reaction, so it is well-honed by time, musing during your free time and etc. So I'll honour it. But I am still stubbornly convinced that the demo is fine, despite its flaws.
Yes and yes! Modify some game files and cut and paste great events in a sequence. This game uses a tileset it appears so the devs could simply copy/paste rooms+content. Maybe link different rooms and scenes through area transitions.
This kind of thing should be pretty easy to do really.
Shall be, but as a programmer myself, not as easy as one may think. I don't know what tools they used though.
