    Why are all the screen shots of NWN shown in 640x480?! Look at the aweful stair stepping patterns, ack! Ugly!

    Crank that res to at LEST 1024x768, or get yourself a man's computer. :D

    [​IMG] No one plays it in 640x480. Any shots you see in that resolution were sized down to save bandwidth on the site that posted them.

    You can see many very high-res screenshots on SP.

    [​IMG] Ever wondered why there's no interface in any the screenshots? They're probably cut down in size.

    You are probably able to make all interfaces invisible, so don't count on that. They're just low res for size.

    Yeah, when you take screenshots, at least with the toolset, you put it in full screen mode, then hide the control interface, then snap a shot. It hides all the interface clutter. However, I have no idea really about all the screens from the game bioware releases. They all might be made from the toolset too. *shrugs* You never know.

    No way. In the toolset you don't have the shadows and dialogs...you gotta be kidding :).

    [​IMG] Yes, you can hide the interface completely.
