What resolution do you play NWN in?

Are the folks play at non native resolutions because things are too small, turning on High Res fonts (in advanced video options)?


Mine was 1024x768 for about three years. I guess when I began playing NWN I chose that resolution because the font is already small enough in that resolution and gets even smaller with higher resolutions. Either I didn't know about the High Res font or (more likely) I didn't like its look. Or maybe my old monitor didn't allow for a good high resolution. I never ever thought about the resolution again during the last three years, not even after switching the monitor last year, until a few days ago.

Now I'm running NWN at 1680x1050 which seems to be the best resolution possible with my monitor. I still prefer the look of the native font but it's only a minor nuisance compared to the advantages the new resolution offers.

               1366 x 768 on a laptop. I will never get used to having so little vertical height.

Having too many driver issues to run on the desktop at the mo, although at least the toolset works on the big monitor!

               I build with Aurora in 1920x1080 on a 24" Viewsonic LCD, but I prefer to play the game at 800x600 on a Dell 17" CRT. Everything just looks better, including the font. As has already been said, at higher resolutions the font is just too small to read comfortably, (for my crippled eyes anyway), and running at anything other than the native resolution on my LCD just pixelates everything. Even Aurora has its quirks at the higher resolution -- adjusting tile lighting is a pain as half the available colours don't show up in the windows correctly -- but you learn to suck it up and move on.

               I ran it in; 800x600, 1024x768 & 1280x1024 on my original 17" screen that came with my old PC. After many upgrades and a new 19" widescreen, I could run it in 1440x900 (and below as windowed, which I did a lot)

Today I run everything I can in 1920x1080 on my 21.5" LG as I built a new machine from scratch a few months back. I must say I was quite suprised NWN could actually do that and all I can say is that I wish I had done that back in the day when the game was more.. alive. '^_^' Wail of the Banshee on a clear night sky is absolutely epic now. =)

Also, counterstrike 1.6 (which many run in the horrible 640x480 res) is absolutely smashing in 1920x1080.

NWN2 is finally playable and I'm enjoying the official campaign for the.. 7th time? '<img'>
