Neverwinter Nights 3 Whispers Get Louder

I'd rather see Eberron than Faerun, though, personally. 4th Edition Faerun doesn't have Artemis Entreri in it, and therefore is much less awesome than it used to be.

It doesn't? I thought he 'ate' that shadow-dude, so now he's part shade. So, he should still be around and kicking ass still?

OT: I'm looking forward to this. I thought the vanilla NWN and NWN 2 were pretty much crap, however Hordes of the Underdark and Mask of the Betrayer were both excellent. So I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'll sit through a 'meh' main campaign to get another great expansion pack

Neeshka and Khelgar saved 2 from being 100% crap. I have very mixed feelings about this news. I tried real hard to like NWN2, but I couldn't completely enjoy it. I just realized NWN isn't that much different from DA:O, but DA's somehow controlled so much better.

Wait, what? When'd that happen? I thought he finally returned to Calimport and found a measure of peace or whatever.

Well, still, Eberron needs some love. It's had Dragonshard and D&D Online, but both of 'em took place on the Xen'drik. What about the magic lightning trains and halflings on velociraptors, guys?

I wont care if it's not made by Bioware... I wont care if it's D&D4th edition

"It is revealed in Promise of the Witch-King that Entreri, having previously stolen the life-force of a Shadovar, now appears to have reversed age a full decade, and his aging has slowed considerably. It is likely that he will now live as long as an elf or dwarf would."

I didn't get the first one but I did get NWN 2

And in doing so you failed massively. NWN2 was nowhere near as good as the original. At least not in my opinion.

And I would like to know what people liked about the Neverwinter Nights Original Campaign so much, in my opinion it was boring and only served as some half-asses tutorial for the toolset.

To bad it's likely a MMO made by Cryptic.

And if you dont know Cryptic, they are the fast food company of MMOs making Champions and Star trek online as fast and cheap as possible but still required $15/month + microtransactions for all sorts of things. Shallow, heavily instanced and very little content is the hall mark of Cryptic games. Someone called them the Uwe Boll of MMOs.

So don't get to excited about theese news.

Guess I'll have to play NWN2 sometime to get myself into the right mood.

As long as it's not made by Obsidian, it will be great > . >

I have to say, i loved NWN 1-2 but i will bet on another Horse here. Demonicon ! The "The Dark Eye" Games till now where astounding, especially awesome if you know the backround from the Books or PnP games

But there Already is D&D Online so why would they make another one? Maybe we can finaly get the psionics calls into the game aswell.

Those that have been following Ed Greenwood's (the creator of the Forgotten Realms) Facebook page will likely have seen confirmation that Atari is developing another Neverwinter Nights game. Perhaps it will tie into the upcoming Drizzt novel: Gauntlgrym which supposedly combines the Drizzt & Neverwinter Nights franchises.

Did some digging & Cryptic Studios is doing a 4th edition Neverwinter Nights MMORPG under the name Dungeons & Dragons: Neverwinter.

I really hope a NWN3 does come out, though I have a wishlist for how to make it NOT like NWN2 >.> (which is agame I love, but feels incredibly archaic even comapred to other 2006 titles)

1. Multicore please.
2. Make a new engine, not just a heavy mod of the 2002 original engine
3. If "Character mode" camera returns, make it like WoW, or any good MMO
4. Fix the movement lag, if you use WASD movement then you rubber band everywhere, even in SINGLE PLAYER
5. Try to release with less bugs than NWN2 had

I'm quite happy for obsidian to do it again, though they often release games that need a bit of polish, I've been pretty impressed with their work, (New Vegas was magnitudes better than fallout 3).

edit: NWN2 was great, once the majority of the bugs were fixed, I picked it up again recently and actualyl found a decent PW to play on, I love the game, I hate the interface and the input lag, but I love the game.

Please let this rumor be true... If not i'll wait for the truth about Neverwinter Nights 3.
I want this game! GIVE ME THIS GAME! Damnit. I didn't even play the first one and I hear it's awesome! And I'm hooked on NWN2 so that explains how much I know a bout the series. But if NWN2 is the BAD game of the two, then WHAT THE HELL DID I MISS?! Damn I need to get NWN...
