This sequel was designed with the Aurora Engine, also used by its predecessor, and the game's toolset was included in the game's release for players to use in designing their own adventures. Neverwinter Nights 2 went into development in July 2004. The story is mostly unrelated to Neverwinter Nights and follows the journey of an orphaned adventurer investigating a group of mysterious artifacts known as "silver shards" and their connection to an ancient, evil spirit known as the King of Shadows. Neverwinter Nights 2 is set in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting-in and around the city of Neverwinter. They may gain the assistance of additional party members, and they eventually acquire a keep that can be used as a base of operations. Players create player characters to represent themselves in the game, using the same character creation rules as found in the Dungeons & Dragons game. Neverwinter Nights 2 utilizes an adaptation of the Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 edition rules. It is the sequel to BioWare's Neverwinter Nights, based on the Dungeons & Dragons pencil and paper fantasy role-playing game. GameSpy: I know it's early, but is there any expected release date at this point? Urquhart: It'll be on the shelves in 2006.Neverwinter Nights 2 is a role-playing video game developed by Obsidian Entertainment and published by Atari. GameSpy: How long has the game been in development? Urquhart: Well, while we've been talking about what we would do with Neverwinter for a long time, we got started with a larger team around July 1st.
We think we've found a good list of things that will help refine the game. Plus, we have been looking at a lot of the latest MMPs to see what ideas would work within the context of playing Neverwinter multiplayer. However, we have talked about getting more players onto a single server and supporting the persistent server community with more tools and features, so that they can do even more with the game. GameSpy: What are you looking at for multiplayer options and number of players? Urquhart: We are still tossing a lot of ideas around, so we aren't certain exactly what we are going to be doing for multiplayer. The Neverwinter community is incredibly dedicated, and I am sure that we are going to get some great ideas from them. GameSpy: Did you look to the community for any feedback? Urquhart: We've been lurking on the boards for a number of months, and now that the game is announced we are going to be asking a ton of questions.
NEVERWINTER NIGHTS PLATINUM SAMUEL DOWNLOAD
What we are looking into here is to make it easier for people to get the player-made content into the game and possibly linking in the top modules into the game's auto-run, so that players can easily download them. GameSpy: How important is user-created content going to be to the sequel? Urquhart: Just like with the original Neverwinter, we think player-made content is as important as having an amazing single-player game.
They'll be able to choose things like the range of character levels the module supports, what's the main antagonist and his name, what the main quest is and how many areas they are looking to have as part of their module. These will be things that will let people put together a module quickly with a number of adventure areas that they can jump in and play straight away or use as the starting point. GameSpy: Are you going to be doing anything to the toolset, like adding any enhancements or making it easier to use? Urquhart: At the base level, we are going to put support in the toolset for all the new things we are doing like camera placement and paths, but on top of that we are going to be working hard on Module Wizards. There will be some returning characters, but mostly those who are known in the Forgotten Realms.
We felt that with characters having reached close to 30th level in Hordes of the Underdark, that there wasn't much room to grow the story beyond that. GameSpy: Will the game be a continuation of Hordes of the Underdark, and will there be any tie-ins to the original game in terms of characters, places, or events? Urquhart: We've decided to create a new story that is placed in and around Neverwinter.
