More E3 Previews @ FiringSquad

[GameBanshee News]

FiringSquad posted up their E3 reviews, including both Neverwinter Nights and Throne of Bhaal. Here's a clip from their Neverwinter Nights preview:

Click on an enemy that you place, and you can edit his stats, abilities, name, items, looks and scripts. Creating encounters is just a matter of point and click. Drop a few bugbears down, some goblin archers behind them and a goblin shaman, and they will work together (within reason) to bring you down. If there is a cleric among the enemies, he will heal his comrades while casting debilitating spells upon you.

And here's a snippet from the Throne of Bhaal preview:

With an 8-million experience point cap, the add-on is perhaps the most power-oriented D&D CRPG since Dark Queen of Krynn. Characters can easily reach levels 30+ and gain special high-level abilities like 10th level mage spells or some crazy-powerful cleric quest spells. One of these was a 'Globe of Blades' or something to that effect, which worked a bit like Blade Barrier, except that it formed a rotating globe around the cleric, absolutely demolishing any weaker creatures that attempt to strike the caster. Fighters and thieves get very powerful new abilities as well, and your main character continues to gain the powers that come with being a Bhaal-spawn.
