Fair enough, but Shandra you get stuck with you for really, really, really long. Looks like entirety of Act 2, so nearly a third of the entire freakin' game. She's the longest forced character I've seen in any RPG. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, the thing with Shandra though, is that she doesn't take up a party slot. You're used to only having 3 characters throughout act one, that when you have to have her and they up the character limit, then you don't really notice. She's really not bad either. I had her dual-wielding short swords and she was kicking ass.

Pros: Graphics, new Music, characters, story, gameplay Cons: system hog, scripting bugs, Half-Elf faces.

if I'm getting something I feel is worth it for my subscription fee, then I'm fine with paying the subscription. City of Heroes for instance added new archetypes, power sets, areas, villains, costume pieces, missions, mission types, etc. It was worth it more back when they shipped you a solid copy of the CoH comic rather than just making it available online, but yeah.

The level up screen needs a back button. Seriously, how did you miss this?

I think Planescape would be an awesome setting for an MMO. I think Planescape Torment would make an awful MMO.

I love Grobnar. Sand is my favorite, then its a tossup between Neeshka and Grobnar. Elanee and Qara are at the bottom of my list of characters I use along with

*Strangles you with the cord*

People who try to order a sandwich while listening to their iPod. Take their headphones out, order, put them back in, I ask what kind of bread, they take them out and say "What?" I ask again, they answer and put them back in, I ask if its toasted, they take them out and say "what?" I mean come on.

Pretty doubtful. The Hollows was basically intended to be an "intro to Crossroad Keep". As such, it was very complicated, though simpler than CK. People don't seem to have that much difficulty operating CK and Act 1 is already pretty long. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You can never have too much cool stuff. But I understand. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't see how they could realistically patch that in. They'd have to change a whole lot of stuff in Acts 2 & 3 to accomodate it, if they were going to even acknowledge that it had been added in. At this point I'd be satisfied if it was well-used in some mods. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It would probably require some voicework to be recorded too for cutscenes and such that were planned. Oh well. Maybe they can make use of it in an expansion or such.

Calivar and Elinee, yes. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Neither of those people are in the game.... Casavir and Elanee on the other hand... Also, these are only half of the possible characters if I'm not mislead... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Eh, I never use either of them, so I forgot the names. I got the basic sound of the names right. The hollows were originally a mini stronghold in Neverwinter, but they were cut. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Any chance of it being added back in in a later patch?

Ok, question for the devs: The Hollows, its in the art book, and in the toolset, with the under construction and everything. Was it meant to be in the OC and cut? Or was it just something you thought would be neat for people to play with in the toolset?

NWN2 is one of the best games I've played in a long time. There are enough options that playing through a couple times is almost a must. I'm nearing the end of chapter 3 and reading forums has brought up something over a dozen quests I had missed. Its definitely stable, I've only experienced one crash to desktop and I've been playing it pretty much non-stop. Eagerly awaiting the inevitible expansion.

Obsidian should relocate to Iowa. :D We don't have those problems here. The Demos have the house and senate and the governorship. YEEEEEEEEEEE-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Obsidian should relocate to Vancouver That way I can apply for a QA position.

Ok, how do you keep Jalboun alive? I offered him double, combat starts he takes two hits and dies.

HAHAHAHA..... Oerwinde just got pr0ned. Dark Raven.... you can have mine. I knew I'd seen a CD with MUSIC written upon it, MUSIC and ARTWORK. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have the LE and it came with no soundtrack CD. Therefore I win. My artwork came in book format too. the north american LE got screwed. We did get the nicer box art though.

Thanks. What class is Calivar? Would any of them get upset with an evil character? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Calivar is a paladin. But my guess is that he wouldn't care otherwise you would anger people who played evil characters.

I'm pretty sure they have... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nope.

Click an hold the right mouse button on them. took me like 4 hours to figure that one out. Go into the game options and drag the context menu delay down to 0.1 or whatever. That makes the context menu way more useful. For the longest time I was wondering where the heck that menu was.

Calivar and Elinee, yes.

Do all the companions have side quests? Or just Khelgar and Neeshka? Also: I agree, best joinables ever. One problem I have though, it seems like Neeshka is the easiest to gain influence with... yet she's the only one that doesn't require any influence. Whats the deal? I was going to suggest that in future patches they should add romance branch for Neeshka since she seemed like the obvious romance choice... then I realized that would require voice acting... which I doubt we'd see in a patch. I do think that if an expansion is developed for this, in addition to the expansion storyline, it should add some more sidequests and such to the official campaign as well.

anyone have a list of recruitables for the keep an how to get them? Guyven is pissing me off. In chapter 2 The Luskan bitch told me he was in Old Owl Well or Duskwood, I found him in both, then found him in ember, an now I can't find him. Heres a suggestion for the next patch: Change her informant ability so you can ask about multiple people for recruitment, instead of only one at a time. EDIT: Dude, they don't bleep Bitch anymore.

Reset? Hells, my problem is that it doesn't save my layout. I want all my properties windows to be about 4x as wide as they are with the preview window tabled beside it, but whenever I close a properties window, back to that tiny little thing. And whenever I open the toolset I have to manually make it fill my screen, it always opens in this thin bar across my monitor. If your problem is that bad just restart the toolset. Opening a module doesn't automatically open an area, you have to manually open those though.

I was allowed to take Neverwinter Nine after finishing the major event at the beginning of chapter 3. I don't know how it differs for Shadow Thief of Amn as I haven't played through that route yet.

Big fan of Frank Cho and Mark Brooks myself. Also, that one guy who made Dangergirl. Forgot his name. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> *google search* Frank Cho = awesome, Mark Brooks must be like my choice of Chris Bachalo, nothing special, just a personal favorite.
