NWN's pizzaz is in the player made modules. Still not much graphics pizzaz I guess but definetly dont pass judgement on NWN based on what comes in the box.

What are you talking about? We were merely discussing noticing any differences in graphical output with his new video card...

I will say that even with all of the player made content, NWN is still rather vacuous... Too Diablo-like hack'n'slash and not enough roleplaying-based game play for a RPG in my opinion... And no, hack'n'slash with people that actually roleplay their characters is not really sufficient. Might as well stick to OpenRPG or some such pen and paper tool for that...

I don't think a gForce FX card will be in the minimum specs, It ran fine with my gForce 2 MX. I just got a few more FPS with this new card. not like 100 fps more, just around 12-15 more fps, which can make all the diff. As far as I know the min requirements should fall in line with Starfury. So if you download the demo of Starfury and it runs, chanches are se5 will run on your system too.

FYI: Min sys specs are one of the things that gets tested during beta. That's why it's always good to have a range of sys specs in the beta. So any of you people with lower specs might find yourself in the beta due to lower sys specs. Wouldn't that be neat? Oh, and don't ask how or when to apply for the beta, we are not there yet, and Aaron will post on his malfador.com site all that info when he is ready.

Cheers!

P.S. hmmm, FarCry I have that, and KotOR too, hmmm, I wonder,..
