1. What is Neverwinter Nights 2?  
1、什么是无冬之夜2？

Neverwinter Nights 2 is the sequel to the critically acclaimed and award-winning Neverwinter Nights from BioWare and Atari. It is a Dungeons & Dragons based role-playing game from Obsidian Entertainment, developers of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. Many of Obsidian’s employees worked for Black Isle Studios and worked on projects such as the Fallout series, Planescape: Torment, the Icewind Dale series, and produced the Baldur’s Gate and Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance series of games.
《无冬之夜2》是BioWare和Atari广受好评的获奖游戏《无冬之夜》的续篇。它是Obsidian Entertainment（星战游戏《旧共和国武士2：西斯君主》的开发者）开发的一款基于龙与地下城规则的角色扮演游戏。Obsidian公司的不少员工来自前黑岛工作室并参与了以下几个系列的游戏开发：《辐射》系列、《异域镇魂曲》、《冰风谷》系列、《博得之门》系列和《博得之门：暗黑联盟》系列。

2. What is Dungeons & Dragons and the Forgotten Realms?  
2、“龙与地下城”和“被遗忘国度”是什么？

Dungeons & Dragons, or as its more informally known as “D&D”, is a game that defines the pen-and-paper gaming genre and has set the standard for fantasy roleplaying for more than 30 years. Players create heroic fantasy characters – mighty warriors, stealthy rogues, or powerful sorcerers, which they guide through ongoing series of adventures, working together to defeat monsters and other challenges while growing in power, glory and achievement. More information about Dungeons & Dragons can be found at the official D&D Home Page.  
龙与地下城，或是其被更多人知晓的简称“D&D”，是一种为纸笔游戏定义的规则，它作为奇幻角色扮演设定标准的历史已超过30年。玩家们能创造各种奇幻英雄人物——强壮有力的战士、鬼鬼祟祟的游荡者，或是威力十足的术士等，他们使用这些人物进行一系列的冒险，戮力同心征服各种怪物和挑战，同时也使自身更加强大，声名更加显赫。关于龙与地下城的更多资讯，你可以在其官方网站D&D Home Page中找到。

The Forgotten Realms is one of several campaign settings available within the D&D universe. It encompasses both one fantasy world and all fantasy worlds. Whatever you look for in fantasy can be found on Faerûn, the setting of the Forgotten Realms. Dragons fly the night skies, valiant heroes seek fame and fortune, and mysterious wizards hunt the secrets of long-forgotten magics. More information about the Forgotten Realms is available at the official Realms Home Page.  
被遗忘国度则是D&D世界提供的几大战役设定之一。它既包括一个奇幻世界也包含所有的奇幻世界。不论你想在奇幻里寻找什么，费伦（被遗忘国度的设定之一）中都有。龙滑翔于夜空，勇敢的英雄们追寻着名望与财富，神秘的法师们搜寻着失传魔法的秘密。关于被遗忘国度的更多资讯，你可以在其官方网站Realms Home Page中找到。

Answers to your questions about what’s new in Neverwinter Nights 2 can be found here.
针对你所关心的“无冬之夜2中有什么新元素”，我们的解答可在此找到。

1. I’ve heard Neverwinter Nights 2 uses the newer 3.5 Edition D&D rules. What kinds of things are different now?  
1、我听说无冬之夜2使用了最新的3.5版D&D股则。那么现在有些什么变化了？

Wizards of the Coast made many adjustments to the 3rd Edition Dungeons & Dragons rule system to improve game balance and make the game even more fun. Neverwinter Nights 2 incorporates many of these changes, including a Ranger class that offers more interesting and useful abilities throughout each of its levels, and many tweaks to Spells, Feats, Skills, Monsters, and much more.
威世智对第3版龙与地下城规则作了很多调整以改进游戏的平衡性并使游戏更具乐趣。无冬之夜2结合了这些改进中的不少东西，包括巡林客一职：现在他每次升级都会带来更多的乐趣和有用的能力，同时，很多法术、专长、技能、怪物等等也都经过了调整。

2. What’s new with the user interface (UI)?
2、用户界面（UI）方面有什么新变化吗？

Neverwinter Nights 2 provides a robust and skinnable user interface using XML. Modders can now have customized UI’s and their own artwork that they provide with their campaigns. Enterprising modders also have access to limited UI functionality via script to create their own customized UI – imagine the possibilities for mini-games and the like!
通过XML技术，无冬之夜2将提供一套质量上乘且可更换皮肤的用户界面。模组制作者现在能自定义一套用户界面并用上自制的美术作品以装饰他们的战役模组。有追求的模组人还可以通过功能有限的UI脚本来创造他们自己的用户界面——设想一下，我们大概可以将此应用在迷你游戏或类似的功能中。

3. Are there any new races or subraces?
3、会加入新的种族或亚种吗？

Neverwinter Nights 2 features many new subraces from the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting. Each race comes with their own strengths and weaknesses, and many have special abilities to reflect their special heritage.
无冬之夜2的一大特色就是提供了许多来自被遗忘国度战役设定中的新亚种。每个种族都有他们的优势和弱点，并且会有许多反映他们独特的种族遗传的特殊能力。

4. Are there any new prestige classes?

There will be new prestige classes. In addition, there will be a new base class – the Warlock.. The Warlock is a powerful new magic-using class with a unique list of spells.
会加入新的进阶职业。另外，也会加入新的核心职业——邪术士（Warlock）。邪术士是一种强力的新型施法系职业，并有着其独特的法术表。

5. What’s new with the Toolset?
5、工具箱方面有什么新变化吗？

Quite a bit! The toolset has been re-engineered from the ground up to be easier to use, more flexible and more intuitive than ever. For more information, check out the section of this FAQ on the Neverwinter Nights 2 Toolset.
相当多！工具箱已被彻底地重新设计，这使其比以往更易使用、更灵活、更直接。想知道更多信息的话，请查看本FAQ的“无冬之夜2工具箱”部分。

6. Will dialogue work the same way as in Neverwinter Nights?
6、对话的进行方式和无冬之夜一样吗？

Functionally, dialogue is similar to the first game – but the presentation of that has been brought into the next generation. Cinematic dialogues, as seen in the Knights of the Old Republic games, are utilized to allow for more dramatic conversations and cutscenes.
从机能上说，对话部分和一代类似——但表达方式已经进化到下一代。电影式的对话，如同你在《旧共和国武士》中见到的一样，利用这些能制造出更多戏剧性的对话和场景切换。

4、我的阵营会改变游戏的进程吗？

每一个玩家在开始单人战役时的都没有特定的阵营倾向（倘若你的职业不要求特别的阵营）。在整个战役中，你将得作出许多重大决定——同时你也会看到：你的决定影响着你的阵营。

5、无冬之夜2工具箱（6）

This section talks about the Neverwinter Nights 2 toolset, which allows users to create their own custom content in for the form of modules, environments, and campaigns for use within their own games. Details about what’s in the new toolset found here too!
这个部分讨论的是无冬之夜2的工具箱，它能让使用者创造他们特有的自定义内容，以模组、环境和战役的形式制作属于他们的游戏。你也可在此找到有关新工具箱内容的一些细节。

1. What is the Neverwinter Nights 2 Toolset?
1、无冬之夜2工具箱是什么？

The Toolset is an application which allows you, the player, to create your own campaigns using the exact same tools we have. The toolset allows you to quickly and easily make a small dungeon-hack to run through with your friends, while providing you with the power and flexibility to craft a campaign with an epic storyline and companion NPCs.
工具箱是一种应用程序，它让玩家有机会使用和开发者同样的工具来创造属于自己的战役。工具箱可让你快速和简单地建立一个小型地堡，以供你和朋友们一起闯，同时也提供给你打造史诗战役和NPC同伴的能力和灵活性。

2. What’s new in the toolset?
2、这次的工具箱有什么新元素吗？

Too much to mention here! But, here’s a short list:
能说的东西太多了！不过，我们简单列表如下：

New Interface – The Toolset’s user interface has been completely revamped to allow for a much greater degree of flexibility. Windows can be docked, un-docked, tabbed, pinned – rather than us choosing how we want your Toolset to look, we give you the tools to allow you to customize it to your liking.
新的界面——工具箱的用户界面已经彻底更新，以给与使用者更高更大更深的灵活性。窗口可以锚接、浮动、分页、置顶——这比由我们来决定你的工具箱外观强，我们更为你提供将它自定义为你喜欢外观的手段。

Heightmapped Exteriors – Exterior areas in the Toolset are now heightmapped, allowing you to create freeform hills, valleys and other terrain features without having to switch tilesets.
高度贴图的外部——工具箱中的区域外部现在是高度贴图，这允许你创建形态随意的丘陵、山谷和其他地形特征而不必切换素材。

More Flexible Interiors – You are no longer forced into using pre-placed objects in interiors. Tiles will come unfurnished, allowing you to customize them as you like. In addition, you will not be locked into using one tileset per interior area – you can mix and match tiles from different tilesets as you like.
更灵活的内部设计——你将不再被强迫使用预置的内部物体。素材现在不再直接成为家具设备，你可以将它们塑造为你喜欢的形式。另外，你不再会受困于每一内部区域使用一次素材——你可以随意混合及配匹来自不同库的素材。

Static Cameras – You can now place cameras in the toolset and attach those cameras to lines of dialogue – making the once difficult task of creating cutscenes much easier.
静态摄像机——你现在可以在工具箱中设置摄像机，并将它们贴在对话线中——这使曾经困难的场景切换制作变得很轻松。

Tintmapping and Scaling – You can now alter the color and size of placeables, creatures, and more, directly in the toolset.
染色贴图和放缩——你现在能在工具箱中直接切换可放置物、生物和更多他物的颜色和大小。
3. In Neverwinter Nights, I wasn’t able to have conversations, scripts, and areas open at the same time – will that be the case in Neverwinter Nights 2?
3、在无冬之夜中，我不可以同时打开对话部分、脚本部分和区域部分——不知无冬之夜2中的情况如何？

Nope. You can have as many conversations, scripts and areas as you like open at once in the toolset, and you can easily switch back and forth between them by simply clicking on their tabs. Additionally, you can divide the screen such that you can have two areas, an area and a script, or any other combination of windows open at once on the same screen!
有所不同。现在你可以在工具箱中同时打开很多对话、脚本及区域窗口，只需轻击的标签，你就可以很方便的在它们之间切换。另外，你可以分割屏幕，这样你就有两块空地了，一个放区域，一个放脚本，你也可以尝试其他组合方式以同时显示多个窗口！

4. I’ve invested a lot of time in learning how to use the first game’s toolset – will I have to go through all that again?
4、我曾经花了很长时间才学会怎样使用一代的工具箱——现在又要从头再来一遍吗？

No – while some aspects of the toolset have changed, the most complex parts of the first toolset remain largely the same. In fact, most of the scripts and dialogues you composed in Neverwinter Nights should largely “just work” or should require only minor tweaks to get working in Neverwinter Nights 2.
不——即使某些外貌改变了，一代工具箱最复杂的部分还是在很大程度上保留了下来。事实上，你在一代工具箱中所编撰的脚本和对话，绝大部分可以直接挪用，或仅需作一些小调整便可在无冬之夜2中继续使用。

In addition, the Neverwinter Nights 2 toolset will be providing a large library of helper functions to assist module makers in easily doing routine scripting tasks.
另外，无冬之夜2的工具箱将提供一个大型帮助文库功能，以便模组制作者们能较轻松地完成常规的脚本作业。

5. Will I be able to make my own Overland Map?  
5、我能够制作自己的大陆地图吗？
Yes! You will be able to create and script your own overland map, with all the functionality of the Original Campaign’s.
是的！你能够创造自己的大陆地图并为其编写脚本，所有的功能都和官方模组相同。

6. Can I create my own fully-controllable companions?
6、我能造出可由我全面控制的伙伴吗？

Yes – you have access to the same tools as the developers to create and add companions to the player’s party throughout the course of your own modules.
是的——你有权使用和游戏开发者同样的工具，来在你自制模组的整个游戏进程中，创造和添加同伴进入玩家队伍。


3. Gameplay (7)  
3、游戏可玩性（7）

This section talks about the mechanics of playing the game including the new interface, rules system changes, details about the game’s plot, setting, and what kinds of things to expect when the game is released.
这个部分讨论的是玩此游戏的技巧，包括新的界面、规则系统的变化、游戏剧情和设定的的一些细节，以及在游戏发售时，我们该期待些什么。

1. What can we expect from the Neverwinter Nights 2 campaign?
1、对于无冬之夜2官方模组，我们能期待些什么？

An epic story, with plenty of role-playing opportunities. The ability to create your own character and define that character’s personality in the game world. Lots of exciting, D&D 3.5 edition combat, with full control of your main character and up to three party members of your choice. An intuitive, enjoyable interface that helps you control the complexity of the Dungeons and Dragons rules. If you are a fan of classic Dungeons and Dragons RPGs like Baldur’s Gate, Icewind Dale, Planescape: Torment, or the original Neverwinter Nights, there should be something for you in Neverwinter Nights 2. If you’ve never played a D&D RPG before, the more intuitive interface and clearer 3.5 Edition rules make this a great time to start!
一段传奇史诗，穿插着许多角色扮演的机会。考验你在游戏世界中创造人物和塑造人物性格的能力。更令人兴奋的是，D&D3.5版规则下的战斗，全面控制你的主要人物及你挑选的三名队友。直观、有趣的操作界面会帮助你掌控复杂的龙与地下城规则。如果你是经典D&D角色扮演游戏（如博得之门、冰风谷、异域镇魂曲或是无冬之夜一代）的爱好者，这对你应该难度不大。如果你以前从未玩过一款D&D规则的RPG，这更加直观的操作界面和清晰明了的3.5版规则也能让你有一个不错的开局。

2. Will will be able to recruit companions?
2、听说可以征募同伴？

Yes, there are companions who join the player’s party over the course of the campaign. In addition to managing themselves as they did in Neverwinter Nights, you have full control over companions in combat. If you want make all the decisions for your companions in combat, you can – if you don’t want to, you won’t have to.
是的，整个游戏中，将会有不少同伴加入玩家的队伍。他们管理自己的方式可以和一代一样，但现在你还能在战斗中完全控制你的同伴。如果你喜欢，你可以在战斗中决定同伴们的全部行动——如果你不喜欢，也不必非这么做。

3. What changes have been made to the interface?
3、在界面上到底有什么新变化？

Several changes have been made to the in-game interface to make it more intuitive for end users. One of the many changes is that in addition to the standard Neverwinter Nights controls, you’ll be able to select a new control scheme that will be more RTS-like – something to help if you are coming to Neverwinter Nights 2 not having played the first game.
游戏中的界面作了不少改进以使其对最终用户更加直观的。其中之一就是在一代的操作标准之外，你还能够选择一个新的控制方案，这有点像即时战略游戏——这对没玩过一代而直接玩二代的人多少有些帮助。

4. What Multiplayer options will be available?
4、会提供多人游戏模式吗？

There will be co-op gameplay available with the game at release – in addition, the toolset provides you with the ability to create your own campaigns that you can play with friends online.



游戏发售时就会提供合作游戏模式——另外，工具箱也为你提供了自己制作战役模组的机会，你可将其用于和朋友联机游戏中。

5. Tell us a bit about the story.
5、谈谈这次的故事情节吧。

The storyline of Neverwinter Nights 2 starts simply enough in the middle of the Mere of Dead Men - in your home town, the humble village of West Harbor. Only the brave and strong manage to eke out a living in such a dangerous monster-ridden swamp and Harbormen are tougher than standard folk, maintaining a certain pride in their adversity. But one night trouble comes knocking – and it’s looking for a long-buried relic, a remnant of a dark war fought when you were but a child. Not long after, you are sent on a desperate mission to Neverwinter to unearth the secrets of the relic, all the while being hounded by opposition. From there a chain of events force you into the role of a hero, giving you the strength, the power, and the knowledge you need to strike back against the forces gathering against you – and the people of the Realms.
无冬之夜2的故事将开始于……[唔，反正又是那种俗气老套的开局……（非原文）]

6. Neverwinter Nights’ areas and creatures tended to look similar to each other – will this be the case in Neverwinter Nights 2?
6、无冬之夜里的各种地面和生物看上去都有些类似——不知无冬之夜2中的情况如何？

For several reasons, Neverwinter Nights 2’s areas and creatures should be more varied than those of the first game. Neverwinter Nights used tile-based levels for both exteriors and interiors, which gave cities and forests their “blocky” appearance. To address this, Neverwinter Nights 2 will use heightmaps for external areas. Heightmaps are a technology that allows both us and the community to easily create varied terrain; including rolling hills, shallow valleys, and mountain passes, all without the need to create new tilesets. In addition, monsters, placeables, can be tinted and scaled, allowing for unique variations on their appearance and size.
因为某些原因，无冬之夜2中的各种地面和生物将会更多姿多彩。一代中，内外都使用基于素材的水准，这给了城市和森林“块状的”外貌。为了改善这一点，无冬之夜2将在外部使用高度贴图：它是一种使我们和交流者都能轻松创造变化多端地形的技术：包括起伏的丘陵、浅滩和山口，且都不用制作新素材。另外，怪物、可置物，也都能变色和放缩，这就可以造出独特变化的外貌和尺码。

7. How will players travel from place to place in Neverwinter Nights 2?
7、玩家在无冬之夜2中从一个地域移动到另一个地域的方式是如何设计的？

Players will have a world map, which they can select known locations from in a manner similar to Baldur’s Gate 2. Once a location has been selected, the user will travel there – though encounters may happen along the way.
玩家会有一张世界地图，他们可从上面选择曾经去过的地方（在某种意义上，这有点像博得之门2）。一旦选定一个区域，队伍就会行进到那里——不过途中可能会有遭遇战。


5. Tell us a bit about the story. (Back to top) 能给俺们透点剧情吗？

The storyline of Neverwinter Nights 2 starts simply enough in the middle of the Mere of Dead Men - in your home town, the humble village of West Harbor. Only the brave and strong manage to eke out a living in such a dangerous monster-ridden swamp and Harbormen are tougher than standard folk, maintaining a certain pride in their adversity. But one night trouble comes knocking – and it’s looking for a long-buried relic, a remnant of a dark war fought when you were but a child. Not long after, you are sent on a desperate mission to Neverwinter to unearth the secrets of the relic, all the while being hounded by opposition. From there a chain of events force you into the role of a hero, giving you the strength, the power, and the knowledge you need to strike back against the forces gathering against you – and the people of the Realms.

无冬之夜2故事的开局十分简单，开始于你的家乡，西海湾一个不起眼的小村庄的亡者中间。在一片如此危险的怪物横生的沼泽里，只有依靠勇气和力量才能挣扎求存，在这样逆境里，无疑因此而自豪的海湾人比其他种族更强韧。但是一天夜里一个寻找一处长久前埋于地下的遗迹的麻烦轰然而至。黑暗战争留下了这个遗迹，当时你还只是一个孩子。不久，你被派到无冬城区执行一个绝望的任务-发掘遗迹的秘密，而在此过程中你的敌人会紧紧地盯住你。从那里开始，会有一系列事件迫使你成为一个英雄，给你所需要的力量、能力和知识去击退那些打击你和这些地区的人民的势力。
