GB Feature: NWN2 Weapons & Armor Diary

We've published a two-page diary penned by Obsidian Entertainment's Annie Carlson, in which the designer provides us with an in-depth look at using the Neverwinter Nights 2 toolset to create weapons and armor for two would-be heroes.
For valiant Gretchen the fighter, her greatsword works a little differently. Certainly there are multiple models to choose from: but multi-part weapons such as swords and axes can actually have multiple models in one weapon, allowing the user to put together different heads/hafts/grips for their hackin' instrument of choice. Gretchen's greatsword started out all using the same model set, then the blade and pommel models were swapped to create a new look for the weapon. Tints were set after this, and in just a few moments one has a sword fit for hacking all kinds of various and sundry critters, and looking crazy impressive whilst doing so.
