I'm just starting out, and I've wiped out the bandits in this one area four times now. Do they ever stop respawning? Do all the enemies do this? Pidesco, That link doesn't lead anywhere interesting.

Let me quote myself: Unless I've misread, the original poster has never played the original World of Darkness.

Something of little value?

Unless I've misread, the original poster has never played the original World of Darkness. There are a goodly number of elements I preferred in the previous setting, but that's because I played it for about two years before they switched over. I'm not certain what you're trying to communicate in your first sentence.

I don't believe you can have a realistic looking attractive elf. You can have a Legolos, a good looking human being with pointy ears, but the more 'real' an art style is, the more off-putting non-human facial features become.

Ha! I was stuck there for the longest time. I actually played that so many times, the skin on my thumbs began to peel. I don't know how, but I finally got by it. However, another gentleman on horseback then assaulted me on a bridge, this time with a group of ninja-mage guys. I finally acceded victory to him, and went back to playing Prince of Persia.

Spider: "Promethean I haven't even looked at, so I can't say anything about that. I am, however, really looking forward to the coming re-release of Changeling. I have high hopes for that game. " I'm aquiver with anticipation for the new Changeling. It could easily become my favorite. I'm also hoping for a revamp of the Demon game. Promethean both exceeded my expectations and disappointed me. They did as much as they could with the premises, and created creatures whose unlives are *miserable*. All human innately hate you, and will eventually try to kill you, and the environment will become more hellish the longer you stay in one location. For that reason alone, I would never play; unless the campaign was created so all the events took place in a month. The Prometheans just seem to lack the mythical and folklore backing of vampires, werewolves, mages, fairies, demons, and ghosts. While what they had was compelling, it just wasn't enough to support an entire book.

Not to be rude, but why are we talking about the oWOD (Old World of Darkness)? Is there any specific reason you want to play the discontinued line? I'd understand if you'd been playing them for several years and wanted to continue doing so, but that doesn't appear to be the case. I have the core book as well as Vampire: the Requiem, Mage: the Awakening, and Promethean: the Created. They're all great role-playing lines, and unlike the oWOD, you can easily find the books as well as a playing group.

Scientology: the Game.

I'll admit it, I've owned this game for over a year and have never been able to get passed the first town. I am the anti-l33t However, I might pick up Ninja Gaiden Black. Why? It has an easy mode...

You might want to read the comments by Urlord on this BioBoard thread. He's running a PW and has had success with 32x32 areas.

There's a directory in My Documents/Neverwinter Nights called tlk. It's supposed (I believe) be the place where you store custom.tlk but it doesn't work right now If anyone knows differently, please let me know as I'd rather not deal with dialog.tlk anymore.

Hehe. I want to see the area you made. Give me pictures, damnit! Okay guys, it's time to download a .tlk editor. Click here You'll need to update your browsers to Java 5. Copy the dialog.tlk from your instal fill to My Documents/Neverwinter Nights and open it up with that editor. The majority of string references (references to names, discriptions, etc) are listed in there. You can add new ones (what I'd recommend) or edit the old ones.

Biology tag? Yes, FEAT_RACIAL_DROW will give your race the drow's powers.

The last time I gave a company my CC# so they could charge me monthly, I ended up being burned. How was I to know that asiancutiesh4rdc0rzz.com wasn't a reputable business?

Volourn: "Thanks for adding that very important info to the thread! :joy:" I live to serve. In the Thedas, "Ei vento mordoi felgards," means, "I want to kill dwarves."

Llyranor: "I like playing games, rather than knowing that I have the capacity to play them. But that's just me." You only say that because you have the capacity to play them. You need the capacity before you can play.

I own ~twenty five and I've rented a dozen. Still, it *allows* me to play hundreds of games, even if I'm not interested in playing all of them.

Lokey: "What I get for drive-by posting. I don't mean that it shouldn't be the case that a sub-race should automatically have any alignment, I didn't see a way to do it through the race/subrace 2da. I didn't mention that you were thinking racial classes." Ahhh, yes, I misunderstood. Also I meant the last for Darque, and so forth. If Marie's changes to the racial 2das make you lose your patience, you don't want to deal with classes, item properties, etc " My crashed my NWN2 game about fifty times trying to implement true new races. My "solution" is a bit like using a mallet to pound an unpeeled banana into someone's rectum. Sure, it fits in the end but it ain't pretty. I'm certain I'll be ready to guillotine Obsidian programmers before I finish with the Half-Celestial racial class. Fun times.

Wistrick: " You know, monster/creature blueprints use the racial 2DA files, so overwriting the 2DA entries will affect some creatures in the game. Probably not their appearance, but their lables, descriptions, and what weapons work best against them, for example." I haven't found that to be the case. Labels and descriptions are the same in my game and the racial 2da files don't have anyway to manipulate how different weapons affect the races. " Also, Erinyes as a player character lack wings, which are provided via a blueprint (UTC) file. So the only way I can see getting the whole deal is to have an Erinyes party member who is not the main character. Same for succubi and other special creatures." Sort of like tiefling PCs not having tails and Dragon Disciple PCs never getting wings? Yet, I'm guessing people are still playing tieflings and dragon disciples. As a player who wanted 'the whole deal' from my PC race, I'd focus on a world that reacted to my selection in a 'realistic' manner and a story in which my choice of race was meaningful. Tails and wings? Not so much. That said, it is a disappointment. Hopefully, Obsidian will release a patch to correct the problem with tieflings and dds and I can use whatever method they implement for the Erinyes. " Erinyes look like BDSM human women without wings and glowing eye effects to distinguish them." That in itself is a vast boon to gameplay. If I'm going to play a game, I'd rather be looking at BDSM human women than Ghylvar the dwarf in his layers of platemail. " At any rate, it was fun seeing Daeghun asking his erinyes daughter if she was dressed." Hmm

0x08, 0x2, 1. That did it.

Lokey: " I don't see alignment coming into play in any way in race/subrace offhand" Celestials are being of goodness. Changing from an aasimar to a half-celestial while shoving grandmas in front of trolleys and kicking puppy-dogs is rather dubious. "(a race can be any align or class without scripting it)." I disagree. Elves can't be Dwarven Defenders and Erinyes can't be Chaotic Good. I'm not scripting, however. " Though the bit flags you list seem weird, pattern doesn't jump out. " I don't think they're bit flags. I've done some meddling and my list now reads: Alignment: AlignRestrict: AlignRestrictType: Invert: All: 0x00 0x0 0 All: 0x08 0x1 0 Lawful or Chaotic: 0x01 0x1 0 Any Good or Evil: 0x01 0x2 0 Any Neutral: 0x01 0x3 1 Non-Lawful: 0x02 0x1 0 Any Lawful: 0x05 0x1 0 Non-Neutral: 0x07 0x2 0 Non-Good: 0x08 0x2 0 Any Evil: 0x09 0x2 0 Non-Evil: 0x10 0x2 0 Any Chaotic or Evil: 0x14 0x3 1 Lawful Good: 0x15 0x3 0 " For things like spell targeting or metamagic allowed, you assign a number for each possibility (a power of 2) then add together the ones you want to allow. Say for a spell, silent = 1 (2^0), still = 2 (2^1), empower = 4... So a spell you can still and silence but not empower would be 0x03 (hex), while one for which you could do all 3 would be 0x07. If the next one is max = 8 and you can do all 4, the value would be 0x0e." Interesting. " Oh, classes are trickier since you need to define their spells, feats and so on in different 2das, that gets annoying pretty fast." I've already created a few custom classes. I've just never restricted one by alignment before.

A which will allow me to play hundreds of other games. $15 a month will only let me play one game. If Jade Empire were the only game on X-Box or Mass Effect the only game on X-Box 360, I wouldn't bother. It's much like the video card I bought "for" Oblivion; I invest the money for one game but knowing that there are many other games that I'll be able to play because of that investment

Can anyone help me with alignment? I'm trying to make my Half-Celestial racial prestige class good only and can't figure out the alignment patterns. Here are the ones already in the game. Any Neutral: 0x01 0x3 1 Non-Lawful: 0x02 0x1 0 Any Lawful: 0x05 0x1 0 Non-Good: 0x08 0x2 0 Any Evil: 0x09 0x2 0 Non-Evil: 0x10 0x2 0 Chaotic or Evil: 0x14 0x3 1 LG: 0x15 0x3 0

Bake the area.
