What did they enhance?

the file size

>>715698749 (OP)
The price.

>>715698769
fpbp

>>715698749 (OP)
this is out already? I had no idea.

>>715698749 (OP)
so this is just a re-release at slightly higher price to scam the neckbeards right

yeah its dogshit
the ONLY pro is its a bit easier to co-op over steam now

>>715698749 (OP)
you can now set it to a higher resolution.
only $40

>>715698749 (OP)
The game requiriments

You need a gtx 1080 8gbs to run this centure old game.

>>715699356
how could this happen lol

they removed the original from steam. this is literally a tax.

>>715699959
death would be too good for those fucks

>>715698749 (OP)
It's gonna take me two days to download, I'm so stoked to play it bros.

>>715699959
They removed it over 10 years ago because of licensing issues.

>>715698749 (OP)
OG

>>715701336

>>715701382
EE has worse contrast

>>715701336
>>715701382
even in the thumbnails the EE looks worse

this game is horribly ugly and clunky and combat feels like dog shit , they could have put some effort into making it an all timer but just shat it out quick, pretty insulting really

>>715698749 (OP)
Is it Beamdog? You should know better than to expect anything but the stinkiest shit from them.

>>715701336
>>715701382
>>715701515
in game EE looks noticeably better

>>715701971
No it does not. The contrast is worse like in most modern games (grayish). The camera rework is worse than in OG. Shadows are bugged.

>>715702090
And the lighting is bugged in different places like armors, dungeons, etc.

>>715702090
It really does though. Everything is noticeably more detailed and the lighting and shadows are outstanding.

>>715701607
Sure buddy.

>>715702090
The camera is way better too, you're completely full of shit actually.

>>715701515
looks nearly the fucking same on my screen it doesnt look grayish at all i dont know what you're talking about

>>715702173
Thank you, Mr. Embracer Group

>>715702173
>>715702223
You don't need to pretend you played the original at some point dude...

i'm playing Tyranny atm, are any of the Neverwinter games worth playing?
I've already played BG:EET, PS:T and bounced off icewind dale (no story)

>>715701971
What are you doing here? There are some negative reviews on steam without the clown award. They need you there.

>>715702242
The original looks bad when you zoom in, EE has way better graphics up close, and again the shadows and lighting is on point now, noticeably absent in outdoor scenes of the OG. The camera is way better now too, allowing multiple different options that are all decent. You can stop pretending the original was perfect and shit.

>>715698749 (OP)
your tiny dick

>>715702298
Yeah NWN2 is worth playing. The base campaign is whatever but it leads right into Mask of the Betrayer which is great. 3.5 D&D is a lot of fun and you'll feel right at home if you've played any of the Pathfinder games. NWN1 I wouldn't recommend if you're only interested in single player content.

>>715701336
>>715701382
'Enhanced' has more fog to obscure the shittier draw distance

>>715702420
>allowing multiple different options that are all decent.
????
The original game already had 3 options, fucking retard. They were all shit.

>>715702484
alright cool, are any of the coomer campaigns good?

>>715702543
Yeah they were, not anymore. Careful calling others retard.

>>715698749 (OP)
Everything I read about it sounds like a disappointment, and I think I'd rather get the gog version instead.
Funny thing I still have the platinum on steam, bought it many many years ago, and it's still in my library despite being delisted.

Lmao

I miss the 3.5 era so much bros
5e is a blight

>>715703086
>console port can't do modules
durrr

>all this fucking text, so say so little
Why do boomers love this game?

>>715701336
>>715701382
The EE has noticably better camera (moves smoother, doesn't rubber-band, doesn't glitch into Strategic View randomly). For anyone who has played the original game, you know what I mean, and why it matters.
Other than the improved camera, WASD movement is improved too, though I rarely used it.

Both of these are downstream from the actual purpose of this relase: porting it to the Nintendo Switch. So console port + controller support are the main goal, and us PC gamers get better camera from it, and that's about it.

As with NWN1, I expect the EE will be objectively better after a few patches, and I expect we'll be recommending it to everyone when its fixed up in a few months. Right now, mods aren't all flawlessly working, and it sometimes crashes.

It could almost be worth it if they fixed the fucking horrifying character models, but they won't.

>>715702242
YOU don't need to pretend you played the original, because if you did, you'd notice the camera difference. Its not subtle.

>>715704263
>console can't do the most important thing

Worth playing, if only for Mask? Never gotten around to playing NWN2 despite Mask being praised so highly. Am intimately familiar with PF1's ruleset, although I never played 3.5. Should be similar enough to be able to roll in blind, right?

>>715703086
What legacy?

>>715705445
why are you playing a codexer's blogger's mod

>>715705596
>As with NWN1, I expect the EE will be objectively better after a few patches
This is done by Aspyr, not Beamdog. Aspyr abandons all their remasters shortly after release.

>>715700842
>They removed it over 10 years ago because of licensing issues.
Blatantly false.

It was updated two months ago, which is when they removed it from steam.

https://steamdb.info/app/2760/charts/

So what CRPGs have warlocks from 3.5 or play like warlocks from 3.5? Completely with eldritch blast-like attack by default and the invocations

>>715706437
Unless it's Tomb Raider.
But Tomb Raider is an expection, not a rule. It also sold ridiculously well.

>>715706517

>>715706631
Tomb Raider was mainly developed by community members who were brought on board the project, which explains its continued support. Aspyr didn't really do much remastering.

>>715701336
>>715701382
11GB vs 40GB
What in the fuck was that extra 29GB spent on?

The textures in the OG look fucking better ffs.

Aspyr bought Beamdog, the two are the same thing now. Maybe the better post-release support culture prevails.

>>715706745
5GB on the intro cinematics lmao

>>715706557
pathfinder kineticist
it's in Wrath of the Righteous by default, whilst it's a DLC addon for Kingmaker

>>715706745
unironically uncompressed UI assets and videos
intro movies are 1GB each and there's 12 of them

>>715706798
meant to reply to >>715706437

>>715706679
Yeah and it was added back onto steam shortly after.

https://steamdb.info/app/2760/history/

It was only pulled from steam two months ago.

>>715705919
Mask is a direct sequel to the OC campaign, play that first. The plot is kinda shit but it still has one of the best ensemble casts in any rpg. The ending is famously shit but Mask fixes it a bit.

>>715706860
>3GB of UI
LOL

Just put this industry out of it's misery already.

>>715706517
Anon, I own the platinum edition on steam and
>>715706679 is right, it was delisted 13 years ago.

Too bad that this, so called enhaced edition, is so, poor

I wonder If they even have the code/assets to compile it from scratch.

>>715706884
>Yeah and it was added back onto steam shortly after.
No, it wasn't. It hasn't been available on steam since that original delisting, I know because I tried looking for it.

The only change two months ago is steam deck verification.

>>715706437
>>715706798
>>715706880
Didn't know Aspyr bought Beamdog. Aren't they under Embracer, that super group that's falling apart and axing studios left and right? lol

>>715706990
>No, it wasn't.
Yes it was, you can literally read the steamdb history of the game and see that it was.

Well maybe you can't, but people who can read can.

>>715707153
feel free to post the permalink of the history entry that shows the game being relisted on steam then.

>>715706517
I bought it on gog years ago because it was not available on steam

>>715707153
>>715707192
(or delisted two months ago as you claim)

>>715706980
I literally bought the game on Steam a few sales ago.

>>715707245
>anon has dementia or time traveled a decade

>>715706557
Warlock got an archetype in Pathfinder but without the blast shaping, it's just not the same.
https://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/vigilante/archetypes/vigilante-archetypes-paizo-inc/warlock/

>>715705919
Main campaign starts slow so you need to be patient.

Some things are good i.e How side quests are handled, level and item progression.

But some plot elements detract from the experience like silly companions.

Overall the main campaign is okay if a bit generic

I've been checking if it was ever back on steam many times too and could never find it so this must be some mandela shit going on

>>715706884
What the fuck are you on about, you retard? It was delisted back in 2012 and wasn't available for purchase on Steam ever since. The rare existing Steam gift copies were going for really crazy money despite NWN2 being sold on GOG, I sold one back in 2014 or so for like 200 bucks.

Man, I dunno if I just outgrew the original NWN2 or if it's the EE, but I forgot how much this game sucks compared to NWN1, which I was just replaying a fan module of when this dropped
>spaz camera that always goes to the worst possible angles, hard to see anything compared to NWN1
>Khelgar and Neeshka don't seem to want to follow me consistently, get stuck on everything, pathfinding is fucked
>inventory feels cramped compared to NWN1
>animations are jank as hell compared to NWN1, no AOO animations
>maps are tiny compared to NWN1
fuck this, going back to NWN1

>>715701971
This. Everyone saying otherwise is spreading misinfo.

>>715702298
1 and 2 are both worth playing.
1 has the bigger community making modules and is considerably less janky but 2 is also good, especially the mask of the betrayer campaign.
Just skip the original campaign (the wailing death) in 1, it sucks.

>>715707245
No you didn't schizo. Its only been on gog for years.

>>715709227
>Just skip the original campaign (the wailing death) in 1, it sucks.
If that's the case is there a list of recommended modules you'd trust that are NWN1 EE compatible? I feel like finally getting into 1

>>715709425
Shadow of undrentide and hordes of the underdark are official campaigns and are pretty good. They're connected so you start with undrentide and transfer your character.

I've only recently gotten into community modules but some I can recommend are:
>The Prophet series, big adventure with an amazing story. Every module made by this author is very good.
>Siege of shadowdale/crimson tides of tether and tyrants of the moonsea. Modules made by a well known author whose made a lot of quality modules. They're self contained adventures but designed for you to use the same character through the series.
>swordflight. Very challenging series designed for min max autists. Very good but not for beginners.

There's lots more on the neverwinter vault. Protip, installing modules can be a pain in the ass but there's an installer tool that makes it way easier, you should def use it.

>>715698749 (OP)
Why do you make a thread on this every day. There are more posts about this game than people who own it. Play a genre that isn't for retarded casuals for once.

>>715711091
>there was a thread yesterday, when the game came out
>there is a thread today
>WHY ARE YOU MAKING THIS THREAD EVERY DAY
>A BANANZA THREAD DIED FOR THIS

>>715710806
Fantastic thank you anon. Are the other official campaigns related to The Wailing Death at all or should I honestly just skip it?

>>715711216
NTA but the original NWN was intended not to have any campaigns at all
The goal was to produce a 'dungeon master game' where the DM would create shit for you but during play testing they realized that the majority of players would not sit autistically for hours while the DM put shit together and that also, not everyone had good enough internet to play so they put together the campaign quickly

It's not actually a bad campaign at all it's just incredibly basic in terms of 'you are the hero, go forth' and the twist is fairly obvious

I will say that if you intend to do SoU and HotU (you should), absolutely look up the plot for the first campaign as there are tieins to it in HotU
If you do play The Wailing Deth, do not carry your character to SoU or HotI. SoU's character can be (and is in lore) carried across to HotU

>>715707854
NWN2 is really shit. Obsidian should be punished for their deeds. You could put the exact same adventure in NWN1 and it would be better in every way

>>715711091

>>715712150
It's got fun classes tho

How to make subtitles bigger in nwm2 complete, when im playing in higer resolution?

>>715705596
>after a few patches

>>715705596
>j-just a couple more years and this remaster of a two decades old game will be better than the original! pinky promise!
Do aspyr shills, really?

>>715715107
>shills
This cash-grab re-release is no different than someone like Piko Interactive taking a DOS game, slapping DOSBox with completely wrong configuration on it, and dropping it to Steam for retards to buy. No way they have budget allocated for actual shilling.
So call him what he really is: a naive retard.

How's the controller support for NWN2? NWN1 had terrible controller support.
