Neverwinter Nights .... 3?

Post by Ajantis. »

I remember having a discussion awhile ago about the prospects of NWN 2 expansion or even a NWN 3. Later, it seemed the rumor was that Atari was going to make their own persistent world (like WoW i guess) of NWN.

Last night I saw this:

http://www.playneverwinter.com


I was curious if anyone knows anything more about this since our last discussion here about it a year or so ago, since it obviously seems like its going to happen.

I also noticed R.A. Salvatore has a new Drizzt series starting called Neverwinter, not uncommon for D&D to create books to accompany it games.

Any of you who know anything about this, I was wondering if you're optimistic or disappointed about what you've heard or read.

Oh!!! I got all worm and fuzzy inside, but this is a bummer:
OPG: Many of the servers on gamespy that were built by the community allowed open PvP. Will there be open PVP?

Jack: PvP will not be in at launch.

Why would I want to count 12 hours twice? I’m perfectly capable of counting to 24, and while we’re at it, can someone go shoot named time zones. GMT+x is all we need!

Sounds almost like someone has been following Neversummer - destruction of Neverwinter, rebuilding etc.

Expected release 4th quarter of 2011 - 12-15 months from now.
In Neverwinter, players choose to become one of five classic D&D classes and team up with friends or computer-controlled allies to form five-person co-op groups. Players also create their own storylines and quests utilizing an extremely user-friendly content generation system, tentatively codenamed Forge.
An online game with content creation??

Only five classes? (fighter, rogue, cleric, wizard, ?)

Five man teams?

Sounds like an interesting way to improve gameplay by putting some limits in.

Sounds interesting but this is the first I've heard of it.

To be honest with you, when I first heard of what they were doing a year or so ago, I thought perhaps Atari might have contacted DeputyDog to "buy" Neversummer. Since the work has already been done.
"We're beyond thrilled to develop a brand new version of Neverwinter. It's been years since the original became a gaming icon and we're honored to work with such a great franchise," said Jack Emmert, COO of Cryptic Studios. "We've been working closely with Wizards of the Coast and R.A. Salvatore to create an authentic D&D adventure filled with compelling fiction and exciting gameplay."

City of Heroes/Villains, Star Trek Online, something else. So there's at least the possibility of there being a good game in there from what I've heard of CoH.

There's pvp in pong...Tep will figure out how to get other people killed in like 5 minutes :)

Now if they could only produce it in such a way so as to adhere more to NWN I instead of that mangled mess that is NWN II. Watering down pvp sucks... this smells just like NWN II lack of multiplayer functionality at release type of decision yet again. I have little to nil faith in Atari to do any DnD based criteria correctly.

It looks a lot like the Diablo series.

"As far as character classes go, "At launch, we're focusing on five classes: Wizard, Fighter, Rogue, Ranger, Cleric," said Emmert. "We think these represent the core archetypes of the 4th edition rule set (Controller, Defender, Striker, Ranger Striker, Support). After launch, we'll be supplementing the game with more and more character classes, so expect to see old favorites like Paladins, Barbarians, Monks and Bards fairly quickly. There is a main storyline, though we've also added many side quests to reward the explorers. A dedicated player can follow the major tale, but for people who like to explore, there's many other tales that players can stumble across."

there are your 5 begging classes
