The South isn't a party.

"I don't really care much about tactics in SoZ. I set Auto-spell on my Sorcerer, my Barbar uses his rage-wuahh-I'll-smash-you-whatever-spell automatically. So all I need to do is to select my fighter, monk, and Barbar and point to the enemy. They destroy them, I leave the map, crawl forward two steps, get pulled into another battle again. *yawn* If it wouldn't be for these numerous loading times, the Overland map would actually make fun. But so far, I got frustrated with it. I spend more time with Loading screens than with actual gameplay." Welcome to the club.

Yes, technically, we are still slaves of the British Empire. It's grbage. And, no, our system is not better than yours. Different yes, but better? No. Worse? No. All it means that instead of two bickering parties, we have 4(or 5 depending what you consider 'major' I guess. At least you don't have a major party whose major goal is to seperate. *shrug*

Yeah, Harper 'started' it by possibly knocking off government handouts for election moneys. That's his great sin. Not a good enough reason for the others to either a) force a new election (which they can't even afford so soon themselves) or b) make a hostile takeover of the government giving themselves the power even though the Conservatives won the election (ie. vote of the people). And, oh, i say this as someone who didn't vote for the Conservatives. In fact, i haven't voted in the last two elections. Last I voted, I helped put Harper in because the Liberals (who i ahd always voted for) were proven to be crooks. And, now they're being crooks again. They lost the election. They should suck it up.

Harper's not the moron here. He's trying to do his job. The others are playing politics. (well, I'm sure he is too to a point heh).

Huh? Use the pause button when controlling multiple characters. It works easy, and better than relying on AI that may or maynot do thinsg right. And, at leats if there's a screw up, you can just blame yourself and fix your mistake.

"Legendary thread. "Man up, kid. You've still got one arm, one parent, and one lung."" HAHA. It's called tough love. Let's say the kid decided to stay alive but instead got into lots of trouble 'cause he couldn't ahndle the loss - he wouldn't be allowed to get away it without being called on it eventually, right? Just like many child molestors were molested when they were children... yet, we simply don't let them go with an 'AWWW! It's understandbale, you are alls crewed up." "Sounds kind of selfish to the person who is name calling as well." To really be considered selfish, one would have to get something out of their actions. I get nothing out of this. Not satisifaction, not pride, nothing. It's a sucky situation all around. In fact, unlike the kid, I actually am thinking about the father and grandmother who just lost ANOTHER member of their family. How come people in this thread aren't thinking of them? Don't they count?

Would anyone play SOZ (or any NWN2 campiagn) with party AI? It's not really deisgned for that hence why you have the option to play all characters. I have no mercy for those complaining about the poor AI.

Well, since I don't bother casting my wizard's spells anyways, I'd wager a non mage party could do very well. And, with all the healing potions/coins of resurection/heal kits, youprobably can get away with having no cleric.

Sounds fair; but at that point I doubt I'd care. a) I'd be dead. b) I'd obviously would have had to give up on life, anyways, and stopped worrying about others' opinions.

"1. Fine, you got me there. He only lost half of his family." K. "2. Im not trying to make assumptions about your life or what you lost. Im just saying, this kid lost two very important figures in his life when he was eight." I never said it was a good thing. It sucks, and it's a horrible thing to face. I never said I didn't sympathize with his pain. "3. Yes and you're so humanitarian with your "He's a coward because he couldnt see the big picture" ****. I dont know about you, but when I was eight years old i wasnt going around thinking "Hm, I wonder how this choice will affect everyone around me." Read my entire posts. It sucks what happen nor would I wish it on anyone. And, perhaps you should have put more thoguht in your choices. I know I certainly did. Doesn't mean my chocies were always correct (8 year olds are often wrong obviously); but to say that 8 year olds can't think of others is silly. Sure, they can. And, he's far from the only 8 year old to suffer such great loss... yet most live on. *shrug*

He has his father, and grandmother. Don't they count? And, you don't know what I have or haven't lost so don't make up silly assumptions. And, I'm glad you'd like me to lose everything. How humanitarian of you.

Hey, if you can't handle differing opinions even if they harsh that's your problem not mine. At least disucss the issue without resorting to attack me. That's mean, and I might commit suicide over it. You wouldn't want that, would you? Afterall, 'inciting' someone to suicide is evil and makes you responsible for their decision.

Yup. Diplomacy = bribery

"Considering the humble beginnings of Obsidian" What humble beginnings? You mean being able to make KOTOR2, and NWN2 as their first games? Those arne't humble beginnings. Espicially, since the Obsidian founders are not exactly rookies. Humble beginnings would be BIO coming from nowhere as ex doctors and medical software developers to now becoming one of the major RPG developers. That's not insulting obsidian. That's just fact. "LucasArts takes the blame on one issue, and that is forcing an early release of K2." They did no such thing. from the momemnt KOTOR2 was announced, they were shooting for a Christmas release. Then it got switch to Februaryish then moved back. *shrug*

Hate to insult 8 year olds but I'm not above. But, yes, while the boy's story is indeed sad, he is indeed a coward. He apparantly killed himself because he couldn't face living without his mother and grandfather. That sounds like fear, and fear leads to cowards. And, yeah, it's a little less cut and dry since it is an 8 year old so I could forgive him for not seeing the big picture; but now his poor father (and grandmother) have to deal with yet ANOTHER loss. He wanted to stop the pain without caring how his choice would effect others = SELFISH He couldn't face life without those he had lost = COWARD Sometimes the harsh truth is just that - harsh. Of course, like I said above, I'm not without sympathy. I wouldn't wish what he went through on anyone. But, he's not the only one whose gone through losing people - even kiddies younger than him suck it up, go on, and live a full happy life.

"Would be nice if, like in NWN1, their equipment got better with them" Why? Unlike NWN1 OC, can't you just equip them yourselves, anyways? NPCs in SOU, or HOTU didn't have level up equipment. neither NWN2 OC or MOTB.

"add the fact that i have to buff before every encounter makes gameplay extremely tedious." You had to buff every encounter? That seems such a waste of effort. Just great cleave them. or heck, kill them with your mage using a bow. Works for me. *shrug* Intimidate weakens enemies. They should have a 'glow' around them if it works for a few rounds (if they last that long, lol).

Then remove those wannabe snake men, and silly orcs. Not to mention a few of the pansy treehuggers. More dwarves, less others!

"you kill all the illithids (tough fight, but doable at level 9 or 10 if you prepare ahead of time)" I did them at level 6/7. Still, the best fight of the game. illithids are kewl.

Next expansion should be as good as MOTB; not as bad as SOZ. And, add Wild Dwarves!

Ovechkin > Malkin Malkin can talk when he wins some trophies, and a team gets built around him.

Game over.

L0L I admit I did think of posting that when I first read his post but decided against it. Hehe. Great minds think alike, right alanshu? Right? HAHAHA!
