NWN 2 DM Client

Post by Alphonse » Thu Nov 09, 2006 9:22 am

Well this sure turned into one big disappointment.

Yes it got released in the first update, and yes all the functionality is kinda there.

BUT it also requires two or three clicks to set up each creature, or perform any action on them. The right click and radial options no longer work which made DMing on NWN 1 quick and easy.

The most annoying thing is the lack of customisable text macros for all the common tasks.

I'm sure that extra stuff will be added, and made to work more like the old DM client, but it'll take a while, and to get a PW running with these tools is going to take a lot of work.

ya, I thought they said the delay was so they could get the new client to look like the current nwn1 client....it's mising a lot that's in the nwn1 client.

On a side note, I noticed they used almost the same standalone server.

The options in the DM creator are still there, but they're much more complicated to use
