Sound effects

Post by CrazyJ »

Does anyone else think that some of the sound effects in NWN were underdone? Most melee hits are noisier than most spells.

Take the level 3 mage spell Lightning, and the level 6(?) spell Chain Lightning. The sound effect for both is a little electrical crackle, just like Gedlee's Electric Loop, or like you'd get if a minor appliance had an issue. Compare to Baldur's Gate 2 where when a lightning bolt when loose it when *CRACKZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ*

The Fireball sound effect is similarly weak. What ever happened to detonating with a low boom and a roar?

Ice storm sounds okay at least. The Meteor & Fire storm spells should be thundering and crackling though, not just a kind of humming noise. Flame strike is just kind of a fwoosh noise. Come on, where's the divine wrath in that?

maybe its the pregnancy thing, but what did you say? I don't know what "alt-tab back and drink a potion means"

if it means you need the music to tell you when a foe is nearby, then okie-dokie.... but normally I don't care, I'm just running through the area most of the time...
