Quite a few of the high votes and rave comments I submitted were on modules hardly anybody else had tried, which I imagine is even more frustrating for the authors than it is for me.)Rollorynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536839880948362362.post-81403764236510576862011-02-25T21:08:00.818-05:002011-02-25T21:08:00.818-05:00Corey Holcomb-Hockin said "..."

Not only to people not finish the bad mods, but they are often too nice to rate them.Nemoremhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13935785631488525747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536839880948362362.post-16356667525550869602011-02-25T15:52:56.294-05:002011-02-25T15:52:56.294-05:00Nwn 2 community is rather small compared to say *(...Nwn 2 community is rather small compared to say *(BioWare Dork's)* new Dragon Age (Dragon Crap) concept.<br /><br />I think this is just marketing and psychology. People want the newest game.(Dragon Age didn't even hold a candle to The Witcher)<br /><br />One only needs to look at the number of posts on Bioware's forum to see the popularity.<br /><br />Dragon Age was the worst RPG I have ever almost finished(I uninstalled it before I even finished it)<br /><br />What Nwn 2 needs is more PR for mods and the people creating them. There just isn't even people reviewing the Mods like in the past. This would take flash style trailers introducing the mods and whole revamp of the NWN 2 community.<br /><br />I am still proud of the soundtrack I did for you game though^_-<br /><br />It had an amazing story, awesome and well thought out concept, and was mature and dark.<br /><br />StrangeCatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536839880948362362.post-48470091794332703282011-02-25T05:17:09.558-05:002011-02-25T05:17:09.558-05:00Doesn't this make you think that you should ma...Doesn't this make you think that you should make a game on another platform with a wider audience?

I attribute the high download rate to being the long length, and the unusual subject of playing the bad guy.Kamalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17637115231105776944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536839880948362362.post-38191557719051261402011-02-24T13:56:21.311-05:002011-02-24T13:56:21.311-05:00I think high quality modules tend to follow a tren...I think high quality modules tend to follow a trend where they get a lot of votes to start with and then taper off as the hardcore players move on to other modules. TMGS has so many votes relative to other modules because, I would guess, it's higher quality and encourages players to finish it and hence cast a vote. I've always thought the number of votes a module has relative to its downloads is just as important an indicator of quality as the score itself. I've sometimes felt the Vault should take this into account with the rankings. Doing so would make it harder for new modules to get noticed, so perhaps that's not such a good idea.<br /><br />It's sad to see how few downloads NWN2 modules are receiving. All those thousands of players bemoaning Dragon Age 2's dumbing down and wishing for a return to the "glory days" could do a lot worse than getting hold of some of the better NWN2 modules.Luke Scullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04405832447854561544noreply@blogger.com
