I've been having one or two slowdown moments so far in my run through the OC (the orc ambush during the search for the Wendersnaven was somehow a bit laggy), but altogether it's not such a big issue. The loading times, however, are teh suck. I've 6 gigs of memory and they still take too bloody long.

Gah the bugs are driving me mad.

Yeah Sand and Khelgar are probably my favorites too. And although I still don't think too much of Neeshka, her interaction with the other companions is worth having her along. Shandra on the other hand, she's a bit of a prude. Anyway, just did the trial. It was quite cool how so many decisions made prior to that moment had a potential impact on the outcome. But sadly it was all kinda useless afterwards since the fight with Lorne was all it really took to win the whole thing. I'm starting to like the story. The whole summon-the-Evil-One-ritual-thingy might be a bit clich

Yea I just reached Port Llast. Alas, once again I'm short on cash to buy what I want.

Bishop is okay. Sand is cool. Where does one buy some decent equipment? More specifically, weaponry. I remember meeting a merchant who sold +3 weapons because I didn't have enough money at that time; but I can't find him anywhere. It's not in the docks, and it's not Deekin either.

Thx. I suspected I was missing something. PS Casavir is a douchebag.

Is there a way to initiate dialogue with your NPC's,

this looks like a scene from Shrek

EDIT: I still don't understand the complaints about the camera. I've never had a problem with it, not even in vanilla NWN2 on release. Having it zoomed in when ever I exited a building was a little annoying but honestly it takes like half a second to fix so it wasn't that big a deal. I've just started with NWN2, and I must admit the camera isn't that much of an issue like some people were saying it was, although it would be nice if by default it was set to match the map, i.e. north = north.

Grobnar looks like Patrick Swayze

That would be fair, but I read differently elsewhere. Something to do with all NPC's (even the ones you leave behind) leveling at the same rate as the protagonist.

Is there a GateKeeper-like program for NWN2 that allows you to edit your character? I'm currently a rogue/fighter, but after having read the SoZ manual, I'd rather be a swashbuckler. Now that I've discovered the way to enhance the party limit through the console, I wouldn't mind too much having Neeshka along. I know the console allows me to reset my character level to 1, but then I'd still be stuck with 1 level of rogue, meaning I'd get an xp penalty when taking swashbuckler levels. If there's a way to switch that level of rogue to a level of swashbuckler, that's fine too. I just can't be bothered to go through it all again. There have been some really tedious parts already, such as the city watch. Edit: never mind, found it. Swashy here I come.

As I understand it, its supposed to come up with shift + key next to backspace (+/=/}) then enter for azerty keyboards. Supposedly the .ini file will allow you to edit the key to bring up the console, but I haven't looked at it to confirm. Found it. In the NWN2 folder in My Documents, there's a nwn2player.ini file in which the key can be changed. Edit: Cool, this works. (perhaps a stupid) question: will my characters get less xp individually when there's more of them? In other words, is it worth it bringing Qara and/or Grobnar along?

Does anyone know how to bring up the console on an azerty keyboard? Apparently I need to press ~ to bring it up, but that doesn't do anything, and the button underneath ESC doesn't work either. In fact, I've tried all buttons, to no effect. Not that I want to cheat. It's just that by the time I encounter forced companions I might not want to dump anyone.

If you gotta go, you gotta go.

I liked her better when she was called Annah. Seriously, ever since she's joined me I've been waiting for someone to replace her with, but neither Qara nor Grobnar seem any more interesting. Nice to know Sand is a joinable. I like his attitude.

I met Qara, but she didn't seem interesting either. And I just encountered Grobnar, who might just be the most annoying character in the game so far. Is there any bearable NPC besides Khelgar?

every single round? so they don't keep attacking the assigned target until it's dead? how lame!

A tidbit of info that might be useful: I installed the game on another pc and transferred the savegame, to see if this problem might be related to my pc. I loaded it up and there I was, back in Neverwinter, but without any of my companions (Khelgar, Neeshka and Elanee). I later realized this was because I did not transfer my character file with my savegame. Anyway, I was able to enter and leave the Sunken Flagon with my single character. I then saved my game and transferred it back to my other (better) pc. When I loaded it there, I was back outside the Flagon, this time again with my companions. However, since I remembered that my companions had had some interjections during the conversation with Duncan and Sand, I tried to repeat this process, this time also transferring my character file. The result this time was that the game crashed on the other pc as well. So it seems apparent to me that the crash is somehow related to my companions and/or character file. Now, until I get a straight solution for this problem, can anyone tell me whether or not it's okay to continue my game with the first transferred savegame (the one that didn't crash)? Might the fact that I did not have my companions with me in the Sunken Flagon during the Duncan/Sand conversation have any negative impact later on? Thx in advance. EDIT: Downloaded the patch and patcher from NWN2vault and patched the game on the pc it should be running on. Now I can finally leave the Flagon without any problems. So apparently the update somehow didn't work on that one pc, but the patch does fix the problem. Phew, what a ride.

I connected the pc to the internet and tried to update. Not sure if that worked though (and even if it did, not sure if that would've solved my problem), since I always got the message "patch aborted" for some reason. This is annoying. I had to wait for over two years to play this bloody game, and now it crashes on me. Is there any sort of console command that allows me to jump to another area?

The game persistently crashes to desktop when leaving the Sunken Flagon Inn. I should probably patch, but I'm playing on a pc with no internet connection. And since NWN2 + MotB + SoZ are installed, which patch should I get? Specs: Intel Dual Core @ 2.4GHz 6GB DDR2 Sapphire HD4870 1GB This is the infamous dual core thingy right?

Speaking of companions, do they get any more interesting? I've just reached Neverwinter, and they're all pretty bland up until now. Though Khelgar is alright I guess.

Also, any reason helmets aren't showing up? Not that I mind, just wondering.

So I've finally gotten around to playing NWN2 OC. Can anyone explain to me why my NPC's never seem to do what I ask of them? I'm mostly playing in strategy mode, with all characters set to puppet mode. But why is it that after I order them all to attack an enemy, whenever I select one NPC (usually a spellcaster to cast some spells), all the others suddenly turn around and come standing around that specific NPC, doing nothing at all, while I just ordered them to attack? It's really tiresome. I must be doing something wrong. So how do you guys manage NWN2's AI?

can anyone tell me why party members aren't following my PC, whilst my PC does follow other party members? have I toggled something?
