Didn't Neverwinter Nights do exactly this over a decade ago?

NWN did a lot, but it wasn't what I would call easy to just do these things. We'll have to see how it turns out, they are taking suggestions now in their forums for this and mod tools.

When i read "you'll be able to craft your own dungeons" that is the mod tool. And the part about a GM doing a bunch of things in game, imo fans dreams don't mesh all that well with actual game-play. "I want to create quests, conversations, rooms, traps etc on the fly as if the other players playing the game are simply going to sit there and wait, as everything takes time to do. Sp some of those things can work and others won't for most. I think there is a reasonable handful of things a DM could do while others play the game. I will surrender there are some players that would sit their idle while the GM does their thing, but imo we are talking at most 1% of the players that will play your game, so do you really make tools for that. I always assumed that is why NWN didn't keep progressing in certain areas, they aren't used as much as we hype them. They sell in the million and at best just 1000's use them for a smallish period of time and move on. 100's may stay for an extended period.

I am currently playing the first one and enjoying it. Man, I left off in August 2014 after having played for ten hours and now got back into it. Great game.

Backed the second one, really looking forward to it.

End of next month we get the EE version and it seems like there is a lot of changes. Same for Wasteland.

Dang Blues, you stiffed me on the prop for sending you the news on this.

This was a press release from Larian. Thank you though.

Yeah, SCL - so far - is more like NWN lite. Or Diablo does NWN. The editor isn't tile based so dungeons are all just randomly generated, which is shit.


Have you heard of that sword coast and game? It'll have something similar.

I absolutely loved the first game and hope that the 2nd builds and improves on it.

Then again, they could start something clever like adding unique rides for $900 a piece... Just saying.

Good to see, they deserve it.
