Mod News WTF - Baldur's Gate complete remake for NWN2 released

[Scruffy]

How is a total conversion of Baldur's Gate not relevant to this site? Even though you or I hate that engine, somebody'll get a kick out of that shit.

And should immediately be banned.

 

[Regvard]

Holy shit. I had forgotten how awful those late 90s-early 2000s CGI/3D cinematics were.

Seriously, who thinks those are visually appealing enough to be included in a commercial poduct? A semi-talented artist with a pencil and a stack of papers would obliterate that shit.

 

[Eyeball]

So now we have the opportunity to play a game that was already bad on an even worse engine.

This is somehow called "Progress."

 

[Severian Silk]

BG with the ToEE engine.

Agree, would be awesome. But it would require and more/better/working modding tools.

Any idea who owns that engine?

 

[Melcar]

Wasn't someone "reverse-engineering" ToEE's engine?

What is more old-school than hand-drawn?

Bad CGI is bad. I'd rather have a wall of text.

I still don't get why he doesn't go make original content instead. And this got him a job in the games industry? Even they seem to value people who are only good at copying other ideas.


no I'm not bitter

The games industry doesn't want ideas from entry-level employees. What they want is people who can complete their assigned tasks to spec and schedule.

Considering it took him 7 years he must have been hired by Blizzard

Does blizzard make rpgs?.

Does blizzard make rpgs?.

Yes. In fact according to the codex they made one of the best RPGs of the decade.

 

[bussinrounds]

BG with the ToEE engine.

I'd much rather see new adventures for ToEE or something ToEE like... or KotC2... or Chaos Chronicles, come to think of it. It's weird having releases to actually look forward to again.

Exactly. That would be some fucking , right there.

 

[Severian Silk]

But if he's trying to find a job, creating a module for ToEE wouldn't do him any good. Employers aren't going to care.

You always crack me up. well diablo 1 was a fine dungeon crawler hack and slash thing... but blizzard in my eyes never made a crpg.

 

[Excidium]

To affirm that you'd first need to define what is a CRPG.

Wha..wait a sec... Is CC gonna be released with tools to create adventures ? Or is this just wishful thinking for a possibility down the line ?

It's planned but won't be available at launch.

Working 7 years for free on a remake of a CRPG you love is incline

Some guys here making fun of this bro (or the engine used) is the worst kind of decline

 

[Outlander]

Making fun (??) of a shitty engine is decline? WTF are you talking about?

 

[St. Toxic]

Should've spent his time on something more productive, like getting U6 running on the U9 engine.

 

[Melcar]

Can The Codex run on the NWN2 engine?

 

[St. Toxic]

I don't think it has adequate brofist capacity.

Dedication might be admirable, but the effort was wasted.

 

[NewFag]

Unnecessary cause.

Being a member of RPGWATCH is decline incarnate.

A pity the 'ToEE engine' sucks donkey hardcoded cock.

I mean, it takes a special kind of talent to make a bug that turns humans into gnomes, but the hardcoded spell effects help too.
Just because you like TB is no excuse for bugs - either make it bug free or open source the god-damned game.
