Points for that. I thought they looked awkward because he would return to the pose animation between attacks, so he'd quickly be hopping back and forth for his extra attacks. The thing is, with the Great Cleave, they should all die at the same time, but it's possible for the zombies around you to stlll hit you as your Great Cleave goes around killing them one at a time. But given that I would probably be content with static, unanimated sprites, I am probably atypical.

Keep in mind there are no expansions and no box sets, of which there are numerous NWN incarnations. So a comparison might not be apt. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That wasn't really what I meant. I wasn't trying to compare it to the original. It was a genuine question, how is NWN2 selling?

How is NWN2 selling?

These kinda matter RPGamer PC RPG of the Year RPG Vault Product of the Year Gamespot Editor's Choice RPGDot Gold Award E3 Game Critics Award Best Role Playing Game E3 2002 (Third year in a row!) Gamers.com Top 10 PC Games of 2002 - #1 Electric Playground Best RPG For PC <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Heh, I just realized that they count "finalists" as being awards on that list. Who and what were they competing against?

First of all, I feel I must point out that when you say "Some claim it was to support the ultra-fast movements," you should realise that when you are referring to "some" you are referring to Obsidian directly. Second, given you could theoretically kill an infinite number of badguys with great cleave, even then this solution wouldn't work, outside of speeding things up and making something look a little silly, because of how fast they'd be moving. It's always nice to sit back and decide to add stuff while on a limited budget with finite time. But its something that is superficial enough that I won't miss it. It looked a little awkward at first, but I think that that was more because I was used to it from NWN. And the multiple bashing people with Great Cleave in NWN looked plenty awkward at first too.

Heh, I just realized that they count "finalists" as being awards on that list. Black and White won a lot of awards too.

This sounds like a cool idea at first, until you factor in the double cleave that the Frenzied Beserker gets. Couple that with Great Cleave, and if you're strong enough, it's entirely possible to kill every one around you in a single attack, and you'd end up having people watch half of the fights in slow motion matrix style. It would get old, very quick.

Err, I misunderstood what you said. I thought you were saying "when the draft comes for an evil war" I took "evil" as being a war worth fighting, such as some actual "evil" is threatening your country.

Off the top of my head, the map has points at the corners which show you in which direction certain landmarks are. However, these points are useless because the direction they are in doesnt necessarily reflect the path you need to take to get there. That's a problem with pretty much ANY minimap though. To bitch at NWN2 for not showing you the paths is to pretty much bitch at any game's minimap. Meh, I never noticed an issue. Though to be quite honest, I don't really use it because I don't really find the maps large nor complex.

But the ramps! The ramps! Major boondoggle. A game ender really. EDIT: Anyone else suddenly suspicious of an alt-account? <_<

Why would you need to wait for the draft?

Because Keen Edge adds the Keen trait to the weapon. So if Keen Edge isn't working, it's because Keen isn't working. I just tested this with three different weapons, and after casting the spell, if I check out the information on the weapon, they now have "Keen" listed. So if it isn't working based on looking at the attack rolls, then I wonder if the Keen trait itself isn't working. Because I'm not trying to convince you that Casavir isn't killing Grobnar. You actually think I'm bold enough to tell you what's happening on your screen isn't actually happening? If Casavir is killing Grobnar, I wonder if there is something actually wrong with your game. Because Casavir (nor anyone else) has ever started to melee attack anyone in my game, regardless of what friendly fire spells may or may not have hit him, on any difficulty level. And yours is the very first instance I have seen of NPC players actually targetting their own allies and attacking them with melee attacks.

How do people have problems with the minimap? THere's a cone depecting the direction you are looking, so just point the cone in the correct direction? Darque, you probably could cheat it, though I don't know if you'll get the game to recognize that it should be treated as an indoor area. You'll probably have to specify that that zone is always in night time and stuff like that. I still find the complaints about the lack of ramps inside caves to be a particularly weak one though, given that the exterior terrain mapping is 100002304 times better than the exterior terrain of the original NWN. Sure, it sucks that you can't do that inside, but to state unequivocally that that is one way that NWN is better than NWN2 ignores the abilities that the terrain creator can provide in the toolset. You can't get this in NWN1.

Yeah, because an extra inch makes all the difference. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Inch?! You didn't mod did you? you could build full on mountains underground, remember LOTR mods? Remember 9 layers scenarios? You had to ascend to the top of a giant throne that took five minutes and you knew you were going somewhere important. Now it's just "oh, theres the boss, right next to everyone else..*yawn*" <{POST_SNAPBACK}> On the plus side, I was able to put the Dragon up on top of a mountain with cool looking crevices and peaks making a winding trail up the side of a mountain, complete with molten lava. Sure, I guess it sucks that you can't make big giant mountains with 45 degree ramps on them underground. On the plus side, outside you actually CAN make a mountain, with smooth rolling slopes to boot! Nice rolling hills, with no silly looking 45 degree ramps on them. Oerwinde made a cool town with a Castle up on top of a cliff with a road going up to it, overlooking the town just below.

Can't you just dump her? Or did you more mean 'if you want a rouge'? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> She's with you at the start. I don't think there are any other parts of the game where you *need* her though. There are some places where you need Bishop (for tracking), and Sand (investigating the trial) and so on, as well as other NPCs. But for the most part, you can just keep them dumped at the inn/stronghold. But you can't dump Neeshka until you get to Neverwinter.

Do you think it's a good thing? I have no qualms about encouraging people to get a University degree, but I'm curious if you have more people going to University simply because. Is it at least difficult to get into?

It makes sense. THe game is completely unplayable without different heights in caves

I noticed in my first trial there was some obnoxious loud mouth that came in "defending" me. I didn't know him, so I told him to piss off. I don't think he showed up in my second playthrough. The game may not be "non-linear" in terms of going off the path, but I have noticed a lot of subtle differences that have made some of the details different. It's been an enjoyable second playthrough.

Hahaha I don't remember a little old gnome lady. I remember finding a bit more stuff the second time I played through involving the trial, so I wouldn't be surprised if there was some more out there as well.

I think it's sad he bothered to post it :\

The second video I made was in combat. I was fighting gargoyles and Mastiffs. So you're referring to the Keen trait itself, and not the actual spell Keen Edge?

I more had the impression that they could lead productive lives in the fact that they'd no longer have to be ostracized from society, and able to actually find a place into society. I don't think it necessarily means that being an addict is okay and that there is no reason to change. It just means that if you're an addict, we aren't going to shun you from society and make you resort to criminal acts to feed your addiction. It can also provide avenues for helping addicts. Being cut off and vilified in society can help to make the problems worse.

I wouldn't exactly say you are innocent of that. You were essentially calling people racists for not agreeing on your point of view in the Religion in the workplace thread. I mean, we were just doing our part to help spread and foster hatred, in your own words. Let's get off the high horse before you go around accusing people of making ridiculous statements.

They are rallying around their 15 year contract goalie (I still have a hard time believing it).

Well if we check out how many of them are powerplay goals... McCabe hasn't been getting as many so Tucker seems to have picked them all up. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A PPG is still a goal though. He's off to a great start offensively. More PPG than anyone else in the entire league.
