Swords not words!
Lets talk: Combat
Lets talk: Character customization and leveling

Lindsay was unfortunately not allowed to speak freely about PvP other than that it’s going to be there. In fact, the game’s release has been delayed simply to facilitate the implemention of it.

Darn PVP'ers ;P
I noticed in the above interview, towards the end the guy said release was going to be sometime early 2013, with beta testing a couple months before that. So in all honesty, i aint going to expect the game to launch any time before about july of next year with beta starting maybe april or may. But who knows, maybe they will surprise us all and get it out early. Hope springs eternal.

I don't really like the way the wizard is walking with his hands in a forcefield like pose. Hope there are sticks and satffs for wizard later in game and they don't have to hold out their two hands like that. I mean if it is end content of one of the adventures, the player should get a staff.
City areas look very realistic. The city design is unexpectedly exceptional.
I'll second that.
The wizard is always in southpaw stance no matter what direction they are moving; it's very odd looking and reminds me of Quake (how the lower body swivels and travels in any direction while the top remains static). Needs to switch to orthodox when travelling to your right (up and down can keep stance of last pressed left or right direction).
Is there some lore reason like some abilities can only be performed with certain hands?
No lore reason I can think of. They do have staff in pnp.
What I suspect is that it is an "aid to eye" to show the direction where spell will land. But it is too distracting for eye to be an aid imo.
Beta hasn't started yet so no one is invited yet. Unless you played the demo at a game show and received a beta key. Other than that there is no other way at this time.
The only thing better than that is Large Scale Open World PVP,
If Neverwinter has neither of these types of pvp games I'll probably be sticking to dungeons. I do hope all this extra dev time allows for some good polishing of the small group questing mechanics.

I utilized the NWN 1 toolset and had alot of success with it but it was a bit cumbersome and took alot of time just for things to load up to be able to start building. I was able to get to the amount of detail that the foundry has but it took alot more time and patience to get things to look exactly how I wanted them to...but the things I saw demonstrated in the video showed me that I will still get the control I had in the old toolset but with alot less time spent waiting on the program to perform what I told it to do.
I also like the fact that there is a little blog so to speak for each builder to update things to players who like and can subscribe to the builders work.
The fact that Andy mentioned that a player could level their character from 1 to 60 completely through UGC is awesome in and of itself. Say we are 1-2 years removed from game launch and you have went alt-aholic in creating new characters and find the grind through the same areas you have been dozens of time before, you could have a completely new leveling route through UGC!!

Second and third link need fixing.
thanks chief, 2nd fixed, 3rd = Bombed
I doubt this will see a retail release. Most likely this will be an online download like all of PWO's games out there.

I somewhat disagree on the "retail" release possibility. RaiderZ showed a commercial product option, but I do agree no brick and mortar release and all will be downloaded if ever done.
So we may have a free only downloaded client, or a package deal download bundle, but we can both agree it almost always will be non-physical.
Initially yes, download only. I can see a physical release coming as part of a collectors pack in a year or so, bundled with a new module.
Heck, I'd probably buy it.
There more than likely will be a limited off Digital collectors ed download, which will be cool as well.
Today announced a new licensing agreement with US game developer Cryptic Studios.
SIMPLYGON
"Simplygon helps us neatly solve several environment performance bottlenecks," said Craig Zinkievich, COO, Cryptic Studios. "Artists can build great art, and Simplygon allows their work to be assembled into a great experience for the player."
With the amount of models and content displayed on screen in the large and crowded areas that are commonplace when playing MMORPGs, using Level of Detail (LOD) reduces complexity of the data rendered which is crucial to speed up the game and provide a more pleasant experience for the players. Simplygon's sure-fire way of automatically providing developers with the data necessary with little or no manual work is an important key to creating an efficient 3D-content pipeline in game development.

This can only mean a better game result for all, nice Cryptic, not sparing any expense, you guys are bringing it home.
