I never once heard the developers say it was going to be anything like Baldersgate.Infact they were against that kind of talk NWN is a game all its own, and i havent a clue why people want to keep comparing it to BG.IMO BG is far inferior to NWN atleast in the charecter building aspect of things.
If character development means stats and level-up for you, great! For me, in a RPG, it has a more literary meaning -- that of a story. The NWN OC is a travesty in this regard. I don't freakin' care about any of the vapid NPCs; I couldn't have cared less if Neverwinter city was razed to the ground, and I rejoiced at the opportunity to
finally slaughter that squeaky-voiced, annoying female dog of an elf.
And oh, yes, it was said that the singleplayer experience would be something of the same
magnitude and quality of BG2.
The graphics also were not dated at time of release they were actually quite well done. also a full 360 degree camera angle really gave you much more freedom then a BG game.
Oh, come now. The use of tilesets makes things unbelievably dull -- one city look the same as the next; one tavern looks the same as the next; one dungeon is merely a clone of another. And so on and so forth. And you're trying to compare the graphics to that of the Infinity Engine games (not "a BG game", sigh)? Dur. Don't bother; 2D and 3D are different. However, I'd say the graphics in the Infinity Engine games are definitely more pleasant to look at, pre-rendered though they may be. They're actually good art, as opposed to blocky tile polygons.
