Based on Kamel_'s suggestion, I'm starting this up partly to show new comers that the suggestion that the NWN2 engine is dated is partly exaggerated. 

Please post your own favorite screen shots or movies showing off the lighting or graphics.


For those who want thumnails, follow the following as described in the sticky thread:

[.url=http://www.myimage.image1.jpg][.img=180x90]http://www.myimage.image1.jpg[/img][/url]

Remove the . in the above.


In many cases it exceeds Dragon Age or newer games especially in environments and lighting.  Weapons look much more elegant than many current games.  And in the right hands textures are still good.  It admittedly lacks in character animation but exceeds in other areas due to its focus on PC hardware and not compromising for use on consoles (since it was never planned for console use).

Here are some screens from Misery Stone to start this thread up.  One thing I noticed was the exceptional fog in this mod by BouncyRock.  The other thing I noticed were excellent custom character skins, exceptional landscaping, the overland map is a masterpiece, and finally, take a look at the rock landscaping they do.  Fantastic.  No stretching of textures and possibly a custom rock texture.  Not sure.  I think it speaks to the angst of youth today and the bourgeois attitude of the establishment...er, sorry.  Carried away there.

Misery Stone (sound design is amazing as well)

**edit**
I was on my way to work when I first posted this, here's a proper layout with decent pics:
400x248http://vnmedia.ign.com/nwvault.ign.com/fms/images/nwn2modulesenglish/474/1313876598_fullres.jpg[/img]
This shows a placed light mixed with NWN2's detailed tree shadows.

400x248http://vnmedia.ign.com/nwvault.ign.com/fms/images/nwn2modulesenglish/474/1301383513_fullres.jpg[/img]
Different view of the same area, showing the edge of the forest. I actually put in some placed lights off to the right, to up the contrast between the shadow of the forest and the glare of the open road.

400x300http://vnmedia.ign.com/nwvault.ign.com/fms/images/nwn2modulesenglish/474/1301383471_fullres.jpg[/img]
One thing that bugs me about DA:O is how the game uses different lighting for creatures and terrain. Here you can see how NWN2 does it right, with the creatures blending into the terrain.

400x248http://vnmedia.ign.com/nwvault.ign.com/fms/images/nwn2modulesenglish/474/1301383305_fullres.jpg[/img]
This area has a lot of kludge to it, but I like the way the lamp lights up the big statue in the back ground. That's placeable fog looking like mist rising from the water.

400x248http://vnmedia.ign.com/nwvault.ign.com/fms/images/nwn2modulesenglish/474/1313877509_fullres.jpg[/img]
The dynamic day-night cycle in NWN2 allows you to take some risks with area lighting. This morning sun is pretty, but a bit too rich for combat. Luckily, the town gets attacked in the early afternoon, when the glare is at a minimum.

Reflective water is always cool, but here I also used the desaturation feature that was introduced with MotB to wash out the colour, trying to make the place feel half-dead.

I recently uploaded a UI enhancement to the vault that allows you to make your party members invisible or semi-transparent. A suggestion was made that this might be handy when taking screen shots or movies since it takes the character out of the view.

fyi: BouncyRock used custom ground textures in Misery Stone.

Very nice Lugaid!  I especially like the lighting/shadow composition on photo 4 (man standing in water) and number 8 (wolf leaping to attack man in defensive/suprised posture).  And your lush green areas are very....lush.

NWN2 has the best graphics I've ever seen in a game and I just started playing it yesterday. I was smitten right off by the rich, green terrain in the beginning of the game in the swamp village. Even the swamp itself looked delicious and I bet it tastes like a smoothie. The characters also are the best I've ever seen. I wish the wood elf druid girl lived in the apartment next to me. I would post a screenie of her with her badger and wolf but I can't find an imbed image function.

I played Dragon Age Origins for a bit and I can't stand the dull, glaring graphics that never change so I started up this game for the first time. What a sweet game NWN2 is (once the camera is figured out).

[E.C.Patterson]

Ya, I was considering jpeg. But the FRAPS I have is the free version and it won't do other formats. I should have converted them but my free time is quickly evaporating this week and had to choose between not posting anything or going for clunky bmp's. At least they are somewhat lossless as far as quality goes. P.S., I couldn't get your vids to play above 360p on youtube. I'm not sure if its my cache settings or what. Are you able to select higher res?

Edit in some screen shots.  This one is just because I thought the crown was sorta quirky and groovy

I can click on your last set even though I can't see them in thumbnail.  You could try quoting one of us, switching to BBcode, and then just pasting your link location over ours.

@Kamel_: I completely forgot about the in game screen shot system.

P.S. I would be fine with my non-pic related posts being removed also.  As long as the ones with pics were safe.  They take quite a long time to put in all the images.


Here's a fan favourite custom module.  Harp and Chrysanthenum.

Not too many games do water reflection/refraction this well. That is when it was working. Occasionally I would get black water tiles for some reason. But when it worked (most of the time) it looked great.

Tried your idea but only managed to add on more 'image removed''s. And yesterday I used the exact BB code advice from the first post but my efforts have sunk into the beautiful swamp that I was trying to show.
