At least I hope so - if not the premise for 90% of my mod goes out the window ;)Wyrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11584859518433388278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1621798103539173376.post-59264308032490516612010-01-30T09:13:04.307+00:002010-01-30T09:13:04.307+00:00I think that no one should worry about prefabs.

Okay they are big areas but still the same the viewer even knows which are it is by seening Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, or the LA-landmarks (Where the Capitol Records-building is my favorite). It's the story that matters. The room is just a room where everything happens. <br /><br />Sorry to fill up your comment thread with my ramblings. This year NWN2 are prettier than ever and I've been playing with lots of new techniques that has not been in earlier modules. This girl has lot and lots of secrets to reveal for us.Amraphaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11831382638321957822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1621798103539173376.post-49539553180848170092010-01-30T00:02:49.591+00:002010-01-30T00:02:49.591+00:00Area designs I have seen of late knock me for six....Area designs I have seen of late knock me for six. Without doubt, they are simply excellent. The danger is, however, they are also disheartening for very poor artists like myself, who look at their own areas and feel deflated at the difference.<br /><br />I know there are prefabs, but there is always the worry that lots of others will use the prefabs and cause repetition.<br /><br />That said, I do believe that gameplay varies greatly between modules, and I hope my own gameplay may help compensate my own design. ;)<br /><br />NWN2 does have a great toolset and can have great designed areas, but normally at the hand of an artist.<br /><br />Lance.Lance Botelle (Bard of Althéa)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16124192098553066324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1621798103539173376.post-89242345458312692122010-01-27T22:57:30.968+00:002010-01-27T22:57:30.968+00:00The area design in particular is something that ju...The area design in particular is something that just keeps impressing me with NWN2. Misery Stone is wonderful in this area. <br /><br />Then you go to something like Live Forever with the very lush forested areas showcased there. <br /><br />Then check the areas of Purgatorio (just hope that the mod will actually be finished some day of course), which just absolutely floored me in how close their version of Sigil is to how I envisioned when reading the sourcebooks.<br /><br />Then look at Harp & Crysanthemum with its slightly chilly autumn feel, and those beautifully scaled areas.<br /><br />Then look at some of the prefabs on the vault like the Ascended City.<br /><br />While NWN2 still kinda sucks in terms of performance and all that, it really is a very powerful tool in the right hands.Starwarsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1621798103539173376.post-2723276854401190772010-01-27T19:28:10.936+00:002010-01-27T19:28:10.936+00:00Thank you, Sir!

Can't have any of those crows crapping on your Stone! ;)<br /><br />And yeah, man... if only we could get NWN2 and DA to date for a bit.
