    Request that NWN2 use same NWScript language
    Thse are not constants like I meant smile.gif when I speak constant, I speak about preprocessing. (#define A(b,c), etc) and more : this is declared in memory where I don't need the constants to be decalred in memory.
    Those aren't really constants, though, they're preprocessor defines. Very different things.

    Will characters look like Lego figures?
    I think it's safe to say that characters will be significantly improved.

    Bound by TNT2
    I read in one of these posts that NWN was tied to the TNT2 technology. Is this still the case with the Aurora engine or will NWN2 beable to unshakel itself?
    NWN2 will be a DX9 game, and the TNT2 doesn't support the enhanced features of DX9...so, no, we're not aiming at that class of hardware.

    Question for devs on henchmen mechanics
    Would it be possible to create a menu option that toggles a simple point and click function that would allow players to select a henchman and click on the ground or a creature to issue a "move here" or "attack this target" command? It seems to me this would be both technically feasible and would solve some of the henchman/full party issues without disappointing anyone. Can it be done?
    Companion mechanics are being revisited and we'll be making some adjustments to the interface as well as AI.

    Will characters look like Lego figures?
    Let's just hope characters don't have triangle arms and block hands.
    The Lego-look is soooo 2002, we look forward to bringing NWN and its fans into the Playmobile era.
