NWN - me so horny! [Slim]

Very nice producer interview on gamespot to wet your whistles: 'The 3rd Edition Dungeons & Dragons rules are more complex than the 2nd Edition rules, but this cost comes with a great benefit to the customizability of characters and depth of the game. Thanks to the skills and feats in the 3rd Edition rules, characters can be totally customized--classes are still important, but there's much more variety available within a class. There are more complex game systems in Neverwinter Nights than in the Baldur's Gate series, but it's also a considerably more versatile game.' God I'm stiff for NWN! They go on to comment on how they're supporting the game with content including some bits about a pvp mode, how the games apparently filled with 100 hours+ of single player content and a few tantalising hints about future projects. In other treehuggery news, there's apparently a closed beta test for the Morrowind patch. Quite an odd move, but I'm quite looking forward to seeing what's addressed in the patch. If anyone manages to squeeze onto the beta, be a stick and let me know whats changed, ta! Wolfpack's chucked out a few new screenshots of their massively long development time massively multiplayer game Shadowbane. Kinda been hit by the ugly stick a bit this one, don't you think? They've been going for a fringe audience all along apparently, but it's been so long in development that other pvp centred games like Camelot and Anarchy Online have rolled along. Not sure how it'll fare really. The bloke down the pub tried the leaked Unreal Tourny beta, the naughty little tinker. He reports that it's going to be spot on for current UT fans, with lots of similarities to the old classic. A few less rockets in the rocket launcher, a wizzier more curvy looking engine and the like. He didn't reccomend I hunt down the leaked demo, saying it was bugged to buggery and a bit fustrating to set up and play. Quite looking forward to the full demo arriving after his upbeat report, so fingers crossed. Morrowind beta.
