谢谢driger

Game Captain (German)

- You have 100% control over your companions level progression and inventory(having played KotoR II i was sure about that but i don't know if it has been confirmed) 你能100%地操控你佣兵的升级以及装备
- There will be more bard songs
Bard song 次数会增多
- Most interesting: There will be some sort of progression tree concerning char development "by category, with respect to classes and races". I think the journalist is talking about a feat-selection-window as seen in KotoR,but i cannot be sure. he is using the term "fertigkeiten" which means "skills" in german d&d and nwn but i am sure he's wrong.
人物升级时会有类似于“技能树”的选择，针对不同的职业和种族
- The graphic engine is 100% based on directx9c, the autor is amazed by the graphics (which is propably a very good sign...)
图象引擎100%基于 directx9x
-"Hills and valleys" are in. i'm asking myself what he means by "valleys". probably he's talking about rolling hills...
山谷和翻越山蛉
- Open helmets with respect to your chars face are in (i think this has not definitely been confirmed yet but probably i'm wrong)
这个不太明确指的什么
- A terrain-generating tool has been added to the toolset which auto-generates some more or less random terrain that you can edit afterwards (that's new isn't it?)
toolset新增加terrain 自动生成器

sandero

- There will be more bard songs 疑是指bard song的种类增加，那就更有意思了！

最新一期Computer Games 上刊登了关于NWN2的消息（主要toolset 方面）

- Obsidian based a lot of the toolset re-design on "player (forum?) feedback"
- Goal is to give players "more godlike options"
- To make the toolset easy enough so "that dosen't look shitty when used by non-artists" (Feargus quote)
- Interiors still use tilesets, exteriors do not, much more organic; compaired it to WoW
- The exterior slopes and craigs "aren't strickly 3D" but does look as such
- You size scale monsters via the mouse wheel
- You can set which sections of a area have a walk mesh or not
- Items may be saved in "stackable prefabs" to be duped or reused another time
- Dialog options: color, size, font. parenthetical asides
- Dialog "main question mode" eliminates repetitive loops from the dialog trees via automaticly checking against the gamut of possible parameters at the time of the scripting process
- Fully editable particle editor
- Water physics
- Ability to create campaigns of inter-linked modules

官方宣布NWN2中将不会出现乘骑系统…………（残念）

While the speculation has been rampant in the community and Obsidian has kind of answered the question, it is now official. Here's what J.E. Sawyer had to say:

Rideable horses will not be in NWN2. I'm sorry it's taken so long for you to get that answer, but there it is.

A lot of components of horses are in the game right now, but bits and pieces don't make a working whole -- especially when that working whole is a vast sprawl of interconnected subsystems.

Given their partial implementation, the large amount of work remaining for them, and their low integration into the official campaign, we decided to cut them. My apologies to those who may have been depending on mounts for their NWN2 module ideas and for players looking forward to using mounts in the OC and enduser campaigns.


看来又要指望Nwn community了。我们新开的anphillia  服却是由于Akira 的努力，将实现pc骑马的梦想。

转一些Warcry 采访Obsidia 关于NWN2 联机情况的问题

Persistent World Issues:

- Will a local copy of the module be required?
At this point, yes, at least the walkmesh portion. Walkmeshes will be version stamped and a check will be performed on log in to determine if the versions match. Brian Lawson and Adam Brenneke later confirmed this fact.

- Will it be possible to encrypt the files players download in order to make them secure and avoid spoiling secrets?
Unknown at this time though it –seems- like it would be something that can be accomplished. It is something the developers are still considering and working on.

- What about a dedicated server?
YES!

- Is it possible for one computer to host more than one module?
Maybe if it’s a super computer according to Adam and Brian.

The DM Client:
- Were any features dropped from the NWN client?
No though enhancements have been made to some. For example, entire parties can be jumped from one spot to another rather than one character at a time.
Any other enhancements or improvements?

- There is now a free roaming camera for DMs so that their avatar doesn’t necessarily have to be in the immediate vicinity of a party. Their avatar can be at a distance yet follow the party or individuals with the camera. The DM avatar doesn’t have to move with the party.

- Are any of the DMFI functions going to be part of the DM client?
Not at this point.

- Can DMs rename their avatars and/or NPCs/monsters in the game?
Using the set_name function it is possible.

- What about the improvements to the client that were made in the last patch version released by Bioware?
Work began on the DMC before the latest additions implemented in the 1.67 patch so those features will not be in the new client though other enhancements/improvements are being made.

- Will the DM client be ready for download on the day of release?
Simply put: Yes.

持续世界的发布：

- 需要模组的本地副本吗？
关于此点，是的，至少需要walkmesh这一部分。walkmeshe将会被标注版本，并在每次登陆时执行检查以确保两者的版本相配。Brian Lawson和Adam Brenneke稍后确认了这一种事实。

- 玩家下载的那部分文件可以加密起来以保护其安全及避免泄露秘密吗？
此时仍是未知数尽管“看起来”这是一种可以实现的功能。这些事情开发者们仍在考虑和着手准备中。

-会有专用的服务器吗？
是的!

- 一台计算机可以运行一个以上的模组吗?
如果是像Adam和Brian那样的超级计算机也许可行。

关于DM模式：

- 与一代相比，有什么功能被减掉了吗？
没有，尽管某些功能得到了增强。举例来说，这次可以将一整个队伍传送到某点而不需要一只只的传送。

- 其他方面有什么增强或改进吗？
DM们现在拥有自由漫游镜头，以便他们的化身不必时时刻刻都得呆在队伍身边。他们的化身可以在远处跟踪队伍或是将镜头对准单独某位而不必紧跟队伍。

下面是引用Howard于2006-07-14 11:05发表的:
有任何DMFI功能会成为DM模式的一部分吗？
-目前还不会有。

- DM们可以在游戏中替他们的化身或是NPC和怪物们重命名吗？
使用set_name功能即可。

- 已由Bioware释出的最后修正版（1.67版）的DM模式的改进情况如何？
尽管我们做了其他的增强与改进，但因为OOXX（？）的原因，所以这些特性将不会包括在新的DM模式中。

- DM客户端会在游戏发售的当天放出下载吗？
简单来说：是的。

Howard

- Are any of the DMFI functions going to be part of the DM client?
Not at this point.

有任何DMFI功能会成为DM模式的一部分吗？
-目前还不会有。



不过DMFI是什么。。。
