Volourn

"it's not any easier than all the other RPGs in the last 3-4 years." Yes, it is. At minimu,m it's at the level of thew KOTORs if not even easier. And, while I'm not as anti NWN2's controls as Roshan as I've gotten used to them for the most part; he does make a LOT of great points.

A more positive update since my last one: Act 2's side quests seem to be a lot cooler than Act 1's 9though some I think might have been available in Act 1). Best example is the 'teenagers in dark temple rescue'. Kinda remidned me of an old espisode of Buffy. Very good quest including the hardest battle to date. The teenie boppers were powerful indeed, and their shadow selves were not exazctly nice either. Sand, and Shandra are about to enter the Volournian NPC Hall of Fame. The painting for her was very touching! I LOVES her! She's ovetaken Elanee though Elanee is also cool. We all know where Neeshka belongs though I must admit I get a kick of selecteing any and all options that I know she'll whine about - which is 99% of dialogue options. Stupid little girl. No thievery for you! And, it seems Alanshu was right about the tower shield issue. I must ahve been checking it the attack bonus when myc haracetr was getting +2 to hit due to flanking. the tower shield does give -2 to hit it seems. That seems a fair trade of for an extra ac point. I wish the feat for it would actually show that in that description. R00fles! Am level 12 now, and kickin' butt. Just entered Port Llast. Fenthick's inclusion would ahve beena cool surprise if they actually gave him a rela story - through dialogue or whatever. He ended up just being another monster - though a fast moving little bugger. Not much of a threat though. Poor guy doesn't get a breka. He didn't even really betray Neverwinter in NWN1. Dumb Nasher.

"NWN2 shares some great attributes with KotOR2, without being burdened by its shortcomings." To comapre NWN2 to KOTOR2 is embarassing for NWN2. NWN2, even with the pedestrian mains tory, is light years ahead of KOTOR2. Light years. The KOTOR series is a joke compared to the glory that is NWN series. KOTOR series does NOTHING better than the NWN series. Nothing. For instance, KOTOR2's tutorial was boring and did nothing worthwhile. NWN2's tutorial introuced intertesting characters, and had some neat stuff go on. NWN2 > KOTOR2.

Ah well. Just another good idea wasted by illogicies. Consideirng the fact that NW and Luskan hate each other, you'd think Nasher would require HARD EVIDENCE and then he's SHARE it with one of his loyal soldiers. *shrug*

No. But, considering that lord Nasher is on your side; you'd think he'd be more forthcoming off what evidence is against you and deman the Luskans to back up their accusations with facts - be that witnesses or evidences. This idea that the PC can be fingered practically randomly is silly. It's beyond illogical that lord Nasher and co would believe *anything* that Luskanites say without soemthing to back it up. And, he surely would tell the PC everything he knows...since, you know... we're on his side. R00fles!

Oh really? That must explain why NO evidence or witness of the sort has been AT ALL since the start of the act. *shrug* This must all come up in the middle of the trial. What a coincidenk.

Don't have to debate me when it comes to stability. Stability is one thing I have no issue with NWN2 over.

Pot. Kettle. Black. Most critisism is done in a civilized manner. Can't always say the same for the fanboyism. "There's nothing wrong with the game." Yo, Taks, look at that. NWN2 is perfect. Taks: I can agree with that. :cool:

Yeah, because disliking a game = whining. I like the game, and I can easily see their complaints. Their complaints are usually logical unlike many fanboys' defense of the game (ie. it's your computer not the game, lololololollipop). There's A LOT wrong with the game. In the end, I can deal with it because I LOVE the NWN playstyle. Game over.

Finished Act 1. Ending was pretty silly. LOL "We're not your worst enemy blah blah blah". Shut up. tell me something I didn't already knew you wussy Gith. The Shadow King is back! I knew that two years before the game was released! R00fles! YAY! It's official too! We have a sword shard stuck up our butt! Hip hip hooray!!! The succbus were cool though. Started Act 2, and it's cool Shandra is in the party. But, why the heck is Bishop still apart of the group? Not to mention Neeshka? I know. This was annoucned prior to the game; but it's still lame. There is no logical reason for either to be in my party. Neeshka belongs in Little Girl Prison, and Bishop simply needs to be ignored. And, now, I have a SEXY bug and am stuck with Bishop's retarded wolf no matter what. Gah. And, now, I am set up for the destruction of Ember despite no evidence of any such thing. Lord Nasher has become even more retarded. R00fles! At least I have Sand in my party now. He's awesome though his spellbook is rtaher lame. I'll fix that quickly though. Yeha, yeah. Too many complaints. Like is aid, overall the joinable npcs rock, and character levelling is cool as well. Otherwise, meh. I'm level 10 now. Near level 11. Hopefully, Act 2 shakes off the poor start and rights itself... Let's do the awesome Sand some justice, please!!!

Well.. It depends on the spell. Spells like fireball should target everyone in their AOE. That's the 'personality' of said spell. The 'personality' of IGMS and firebrand is that its more controlled by the caster.

Heh. I menat I'm using Puppet Mode as the game was obviously meant to be played with that mode considering how much it was pimped prior to the game's release.

IGMS was a BIO created spell for NWN1. As was firebrand IIRC. So, I don't think they have pnp equivelants. Definitely true for IGMS; not so sure about firebrand. Though, they may have been added in 3.5. All i know it's not cool; and it has nothing to do with me being a mucnhkin (before someone accuses me of that); but the whole intention of said spells.

I don't wanna play on normal thoguh. I like the hardcore rules. I just don't like how certain spells are so changed that the whole point of them is missed up. The whole idea behind firebrand, as ane xample, is the creation of firey missles that a wizard can target nemeies. Much like multie targeted flame arrows. Think of it as improved flame arrow yet in NWN2 it's nothing but improved fireball. I have no problems with fireball burning me and my allies if I miscaluate the timing as that's the way it *should* work. But, spells like firebrand or IGMS should simply work differently. That's why they are different spells. It's not about nerfing or overpowering a spell; but spell logic - ie. what is the mission statement of said spell.

There goes the Leafs' decent record.

Talk about screwing around with spells. Spells like fireburst, IGMS, and firebrand are nothing but glorified fireballs and cone of colds now. Why is there a need to take away the feature that makes these spells different? Seriously, the fearure that sets them a part of fireball and its ilk is that they are area effect spells that are party safe. Heck, make them do less damage if you must; but don't away the thing that distinguishes them from other spells. Seriously, firebrand is now nothing but a 5th level fireball spell that does *slightly* more damage. Might as well just call it improved fireball. LOL And, don't get me started on fireburst where no wizard in their rigfht mind would cast that spell unless theyw ere immune to fire. R00fles! :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: That's the biggest beef with the updated spells. Other spells seem to be logic with their updates and changes; but not these ones...

Stop using spoiler tags in this threads! It's friggin' rude!!!

NWN2 expansion, JE2, ME, MVP Baseball 2011, and DA.

I don't use the AI as I doubt the OC was meant to be played with 'puppet mode' (LOL, that still cracks me up Obsidian :D ) so spellcasters are fine with me since I'm controlling them anyways.

Yeah, oops, ac32. btw, That's with spells buffs like barkskin (from druid), and magical vestment cast by my character. I can't judge chapter2; but I hope it's more challenging. At least NWN1 OC minimum due to the way i play (only resting when I absolutely have to).

Did you play JE?

Ahh.. I sense sacasm. I'm at the Gith base in ch1 chasing after Shandra (which, btw, I love her part in the story thus far). Giths are another enemy in this game that i thoguht would be a challenge who I have walked over. I mean they were hyped to the hills, and the main story - the shards - is based around them as much as the PC - and they still are a joke. At least, unlike the trolls, they can damage me. And, their spellcasters can do some seriosu damage with their offensive spells so I always target them first or else I do get threatened. The meleers are funny though. Then again, with an of 32, most anything is funny. LOL :D

Let me put it this way with a simple example - Troll area = absolutely no damage taken by my party AT ALL. None. Zilch. Zero. Nadda.

"Looks like both the Dems and Reps lost to Lieberman in Connecticut." YES! IN YOUR FACE DEMS! You betrayed one of your own, and now you are put in YOUR place!!!

Good. He's a sexist arrogant pig. he's evil. We know that. You *are* supposed to hate him. That means he is wellw ritten, and the write accomplished his mission. On the other hand, Neeshak is obviously supposed to be the cutesy roguish type ala Imoen and she fails MISERABLY!!!
