What is Obsidian up to, anyway ?

Any chances for seeing a NWN3 with DnD4 sometimes ?

That would be up to Atari, not Obsidian or Bioware. Bioware, I believe, was already tired of Atari after NWN1, same as they at one point said that they wanted no more of Lucas after KotOR1. I strongly suspect that Obsidian now is equally reluctant to work with Atari.

Bioware chose to create its own fantasy for swords and sorcery, and its own space-going fantasy for blasters and e-Tees.

Do you know what NWN2 can do? Have a look:

Obsidian have previously said that they would love to do more NWN games, but it's not up to them. I'd dig up the thread but I can't be bothered.

This is the future of NWN.

Tacky webpage with sound-effects, speaks volumes about the new direction of the game.

No the future of NWN is seen right here in the community. Project M, Purgatorio, Skywing, and whatever the 20 or so odd groups and individuals who keep coming up with new things happens to do.



NWN1 and NWN2 are what they are because of the community, even the developers followed the communities lead, and since they released a complete toolset we can do everything they can, even things like flying, horses and the other things they couldn't do.



NWN online won't have that aspect despite i'm sure it will be fun to play, it will have a "superhero" style mission editor, but it's just not the same as a game which allows us to make our own rules, and which embraces the most important rule in D&D which is Rule Zero.



The only reason the things the community makes are not called NWN3 is that we don't work for obsdidian, bioware or atari and there is a lawsuit. The content the community is doing is of varied quality of course, but at it's best by those who have a good reputation it is much higher quality, more bug free ( which is not saying much ), and could easily be sold as a new expansion.



The future of D&D in computer games is resting with us fans and that is not going to change, but then i can say the same about the official RPG, the future of that seems just as good with the unoffical pathfinder rules, perhaps better even, than the 4th edtion rules.

Trying out that DnD4 everyone keeps cursing about.

Yes, it cant do DnD4, its DnD3.5.

I hope Obsidian is working on expanding the Fallout Universe and will make a Fallout 4 with a polished new engine from Bethesda (so they can't screw up that part again).

Although, I also hope they secretly polish a 1.24 patch that will be the mother of all patches like the famous 1.69 for NWN1. After that, I can live with NWN2 a few more years.

That's actually a false statement... Aside from 90% of the rules being in completely customizable files (nss and 2da for example), even the core engine rules can be completely remade with Skywing's new server which is a blank-slate server and thus any rules engine can be used: even non-D&D.

[painofdungeoneternal]

Lol, it would not be that hard getting it to work like D&D 4.0 even without skywing redoing the entire games innards.

( It would be a lot closer technically than the NWN Online they are working on which uses "star trek" and "heroes" rules )

[Rasputin]

Does anyone on the interwebs have any new information about a REAL NWN3? Like, 1st person perspective, and can do everything that NWN2 can do and more? Also, make it 3.5 rule-set.... 4.0 sucks you-know-whatsies..

[metatheurgist]

There is no NWN3 on the horizon. You won't ever get a 3.5 game again, that's the past. WotC don't want that spectre coming back to haunt them. The best you can hope for is that a new edition of DnD is like 3.5 (won't happen with DnD Next, what I've seen is uninspiring). 3.5 lives on in Pathfinder, convince Paizo to make games with that system.

[Tchos]

We came very close with Chaos Chronicles, last year. That was 3.5 (or D20 -- essentially the same thing). The OGL is irrevocable.

[MokahTGS]

Currently publishers do not find game models like NWN 1 & 2 profitable and so you will not see a proper NWN3 unless someone kickstarts it. Most kickstarter projects do not have the scope needed however.

[Kaldor Silverwand]

What does "1st person perspective" mean? If it just means that the screen looks like a first person shooter that is already possible by zooming in and making your character transparent. (Using either my Character Visibility Context Menu Option available in the old NWN2 vault or the newer Kaldor Silverwand Context Menu Additions available at Nexusmods.)

Unfortunately the "NWN3" that was supposed to be with Neverwinter just fails.

I would love a COMPLETE and fully modifiable version of NWN2 with updated graphics, engine, stability and of course classes and races that can be added.

NWN1 and NWN2 live on as long as they have from the community servers... not the publisher. Why can't WoC see that?

In all honesty, screw WotC. They messed up the Realms, they messed up with 4E. Now maybe when 5E comes out, we might get another DnD RPG, if that's not an MMO as well.

Personally, I would want a Pathfinder RPG like NwN2. Not limited from Hasbro or WotC and much more balanced with a brand new world. Even if it had to be done partly with Kickstarter.
