How so? You still get NwN2 and you still get the toolset before others *fingers crossed*. Sure it's a delay, but it's not the end of the world.

I understand it's disappointing (there are a lot of us here at BioWare feeling the disappointment like the rest of you), but it is only a delay.


And to the poster who seemed worried NwN2 might ship with bugs.... yeah, good thing our NwN1 was bug free when we shipped it, right?

Atari / Obsidian,

I humbly ask that you stop putting your users through this emotional rollercoaster. If you are unsure about making this upcomming deadline, please push the release of the toolset even further.

We (your fans) have been patient and enthusiastic, but pulling the rug out from under us so close to the release of the toolset is leaving everyone extremenly bitter.

You can already hear the sentiments in the post about how your users are becomming less excited about the release of NWN2. I'm sure that I don't need to tell you that your customers should be getting more excited, not less. Those users who have made the pre-order purchase are becomming increasingly jaded about their initial investment in your product.

I encourage you to do whatever it takes to get your communication syncronized between Arari and Obsidian as well as making certain that whetever "deadline" you post for your beloved toolset, it is one that is actually attainable.

Take this time to step back a moment and realistically evaluate what can be done and how soon it can be done. I know that "crunch time" can cause tunnel vision, I've been there on some private projects myself. But we all must remember to take a short break and try to look at things objectively. If we're incapable of doing so, then we must have some one else look for us.

The kid gloves are off, guys; it's time for Obsidian and Atari to remind us what has kept them in the business of making video games for so long. This latest showing isn't a good demonstration of what your companies are capable of and I (we) encourage you to do better.

If the game *is* being delayed, it's because they have chosen to ship a quality product. We should applaud them on this.
