               Just posted yesterday.  Part 1 and Part 2 on YouTube.  A little over 20 minutes, total running time for the two of 'em.

Having watched both the videos, and as a custom content creator, I guess my mini-review would be "Looks really good...if that's your thing.  It's probably not my thing."  I think a lot of people could find it attractive, though.

               From what I gathered, they provide all the pieces and you do the building with them.  It seems a lot more geared around single quest authoring, I think.  You kind of have to watch the videos to get a better feel for the framework they set up for builders.

               It looks "good" but it´s not my style in anyway. Would they have gone the witcher artistic style with some authenticy I might have considered to do some stuff for it but damnit! Why do they always have to go the childish way, the barrels and stuff looks like straight rendered out of a cartoon. I´m so tired of  D&D games been developed for a PG9 crowd.

NWN2, Daggerdale, D&DO and now that... they should make someone of us as the art director finally...or even better give CDProject RED the D&D license.

               i realy need to rant once more. I just watched another trailer and why do zombies as an example go straight into a fistfight, how illogical is that. But now i know that these guys never even considered to look at NWN and what the community has done... we have realistic zombies, the RE zombies that grab and bite you.

I forgot:

LONG LIVE MY NWN!!! the game i will hold in hands when I die, so it seems!!!

Sorry OTR. Now i will stop with posting my nonsense;)

               There is no custom content, it's a single server MMO, everything runs on their server and everyone shares the world. There will not be any PW's.

               Baba, if you've ever hand the misfortune of looking at the 4th edition pnp rules you'd clear see that Hasbro/WotC is trying to turn D&D into a family friendly G-Rated game. I think the guy in charge of D&D has this picture stuck in his head of a family all sitting around the dinner table after supper playing D&D together...

               I know we´re getting a bit sidetracked here talking about the way the D&D heads are abusing (sorry but i have no other word for what they do to the lore, look and feel) the old way it was designed but yeah Pstemarie, sad but true.

The southpark episode with Indiana Jones always pops up in my head...
