Vives2 Characters?
Posted: 03 Oct 2006 04:14 PM |
I've been looking at pictures of NWN2 for a while now, and I have to admit everything looks amazing. I almost cried when I saw the pictures of the undead, and the elementals.
That being said, I will without a doubt have to be a wizard (again) for Vives2. Perhaps a half-orc this time.
What are you guys thinking about making? |

| Aw man. that is way to far ahead for me to think about. I'm still too heavily invested in Vives. Actually thinking about some new vives characters as we speak, and writing some material to submit to the DM's. |

I still have about a half-dozen character concepts that are floating around, unused, in this utter abyss that is my head.
When Vives2 comes around, I'll probably bring one or two Vives characters over (assuming I'm allowed to do that) and introduce another one or two.

You won't be, it's already been made quite clear elsewhere in this section that current characters wont be transferring over. |

Huh. Oh well.
I can start anew, then. Goodie!

But we could borrow from earlier character ideas and essentially recreate a previous character to fit in with Vives 2 right? |

That really depends what you mean. If it's a character concept that hasn't been used and it works within the ethos of Vives2, fine.
If it's a character that's been played here, nope.
i.e. Fred Hackslasher, lvl 20 Vives1 Warrior, will not be translated into Fred Hackslasher, Vives2 lvl 1 Warrior with all his memories and experiences here intact. Any PCs you play here will be ending here. |

I might be wrong in this as I'm mainly a builder But there -MIGHT- be a possibility of having your Vives 2 character as a relative of your Vives 1 Char........... this is only a possibility (and not a high one at that)........ all depends on what happens from now 'til *coughs* Vives 2 "starts" kinda thing *looks about all shifty eyed*........
Only a possibility, still being discussed mind you :P

I'm with you Henesua. Actually I have another 3 planned and made that are on the server which I haven't even started building yet... That said...
When NWN2 comes out I'll probably play the game a bit to get used to the mechanics before I start dreaming up my next hero: If play sucks, it's hard to get into a PC. That's me anyways. Since the Rules are supposedly not going to change much, I may rebuild a couple of the same from Vives1. I'm having a lot of fun with Animal, and Kal will probably make a re-appearance, but maybe not so prominant... and he WILL be better built next time... I'm toying with the idea of starting with Filraen Illistynn (kal's father) and working down the family line. ((they say Rangers won't be so useless in the midlevels in the sequel!))
I'm also curious what the builders have in mind for the Vives world. The Illistynn family were originally dark elf descended and I had a lot of lore I had to throw out to make them compatible with the Vives world since Atalan are not permitted PCs.
AND how can we carry over our PCs tied in with Midor etc, if the world changes... I'll be watching and seeing how things progress. Until then: FUN IN VIVES1!!!

At present there's no indication that NWN2 will be ported for Macs, so I rather dread all this enthusiasm for the next thing when I will be among the last to leave this right-here thing. So I imagine, anyway... hey, maybe I'll finally get a chance to play through HotU and all those modules I downloaded from the Vault!
Bioware (perhaps rightly) has even shipped all the Mac and Linux users off to some corner of the Atari community board to beg and scrape. "Don't post here and clutter up our NWN2 discussion, posts over there where the Atari people can host you!"
All the same, the screenshots & previews look fantastico!

Being a Maccy I'm in the same boat. Don't know when I'll buy a new computer, but if it was a Mac I am betting that one of the Intel models could run NWN2. You'd just need to check the videocard and install windows on a partition. I think the new macs have two dual-core 3GHZ Xeon chips. In January that'll probably be significantly improved. That ought to be plenty of juice to run a player client for NWN 2 - even if there is something funky with interaction between the hardware and software. You could probably even run it on an iMac.
I doubt I'll be buying a computer for awhile though. I might not be in Vives2 until 2008 or 2009 when I finally spring for a new comp. |

I have a couple of ideas floating around in my head, but my characters have always been locked to a certain place of origin.
Can we be told if we are still going to have a Port Royale, a Midor etc? Or are we too expect all new places with new histories? |

new places, new histories.
Vives2 is set to take place around 2 thousand years in the future. Events of today will be but a legend.
What those legends might depend on what the players to today.

So then, it will probably be very much like when we started -this- Vives... make a throw away character, and wander around a bit to get a feel for the world and where you would like to be from... then create your main PC.
Cora was only half thought out when I created her.. (really I do most of my characters that way) and then I got a feel for who she was and the rest slowly came to me / fell into place as I played her.
I imagine my main character for V2 will come into existance in a similar way.
And hmmmmm.... I have always really been into Rogues/Shadowdancers... and Halflings... that I might just default to that again. But on the other hand, I might just have to see what cool things there are to get into in V2, and try something different. |

There will be and already is a difference with Vives 1. That is that the Lore (yes yes capitalised) is already present from day minus one. I've been here for several years now and I saw the lore and background stories in Vives steadily grow (and I must say they really came up to speed with Ficcy). Having written just a tiny part of Vives 2 lore and background, and having seen some of the rest, I know it's going to be awesome.
I am sure you guys will love it. And that it'll be easier for your characters to be formed and know where they have a place in the world. :) |

| Assuming I have the time, I'll probably be back as well, and probably with another thief who thrives off the rich and grumbles about the poor since they don't have anything worth taking. What can I say? I always enjoyed Hans... Hell, I even have introduced myself to people as Hans Wilhelm, the Prussian :D It's fun :) |

Ugh... well I hope they work out so that the game is ATI Radeon 320 IGF compatible... if not, I'm going to have to try to find a way to either get a better video-graphics chip (I don't know if I can get it to interface with my laptop motherboard) or -oh dear- get a desktop system... and THAT would be a huge undertaking... I may have to wait a bit to even be able to play the game I pre-ordered. *simper* And I was looking forward to it so much...
