Your new Neverwinter drinking buddies

Neverwinter Nights 2 has been delayed by a week, but now you have a little extra time to get to know your in-game cohorts. IGN introduces us to three companions found in the game, each of whom you can use to put Obsidian's character influence system (from KoTOR 2) to the test. It looks as though Obsidian may have been slightly influenced by the popularity of the Warforged race from D&D's Eberron setting, judging by their inclusion of Construct the blade golem. Then again, we've seen big friendly brutes in previous Neverwinter campaigns.

That last guy sure has a shiny, somewhat un-masculine 'package', no?

It might just be bad light, golems generally don't have ‘packages’.

Too bad the only comments are about "packages". Are gamers really this shallow?

Well, my comment was originally a response to BubbaLove, but they appear to have gotten switched somehow…

The middle one looks like Dudley Moore after a couple of Red Bulls. Free-kee.

You got me, m3mnoch. Although I don't play the classic tabletop game, only PC and video games based on D&D. The warforged are present in Dragonshard and DDO - both set in Eberron.
Thanks for reading!
