I just noticed but Neeshka has a tail now...

Nope. I be one o' them damned Ontario scumbags.

No, they have our supply of beer and hookers though.

I thought that the first nations people were already considered a nation.

Two questions Sargy. 1. Where di you get the wings? 2. Where did you get that armour?

Beat the crap out of the shaman with melee fighters? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He turns into some wierd earth elemental after I beat him down the first time. Basically, he cheats. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So he turns into an earth elemental. Beat him down again. EDIT: Who do you have in your party?

The only goblins I remember casting spells were the ones in the glowstone cave and there was a reason for them to be able to cast spells.

I had a friend that had something similar happen with his MSN Messenger account. It would send messages to everyone on his contact list at least once a day. <_<

Feel free to ignore them. <_< On the topic: I have no idea why they require an invite to use gmail.

I do the exact opposite. If there is little to no difference I'll play female. Mainly because I prefer to stare at a female avatar for 40+ hours than a male avatar. "

Fair enough. I'll accept those options.

But would you be able to hire one on the spur of the moment?

I agree with you entirely, however the complaint was about him being the only choice.

So far only one team has not disappointed me tonight and that's Toronto.

Now we just need someone to mod is some dialog with other characters based on your kobold appearance. "Get out of here you filthy kobold!" *kick*

Just throwing out some ideas here so feel free to shoot holes in them if you see any. They may or may not be total crap depending on your opinion. I think there are other ways that they could have gotten around the forced characters for the first section of the game with Neeshka and Khelgar. Sure, it might make the beginning fights in the crypts really tough, although I'm sure you could find a way around this. I've got a few ideas, but I don't know how much work they would actually require to implement. I can think of a few alternate ways of dealing with Shandra, one of them just being bleed her for the blood you need then dump her in the street somewhere, however the problem with this is how do you get around the problem of Jerro being nearly invincible within his stronghold? I suppose you could attempt to talk to him, but he didn't seem like someone who would really stop and listen. Perhaps a set of dialogues within the battle itself ala "Sleeps with Vibroblades" (Whatever his name was from Kotor2) during which you would have a chance to persuade him of your intentions. That leads into Jerro himself being a required member. The way I would have loved to see his power being required is neat, although likely very, very frustrating for those that don't figure out how to do it. During the second fight with the King of Shadows with all the little versions, make it so that they respawn fast enough that if you try to kill them off one at a time, it is impossible. Alter the fight so that the respawn quickly as long as there is at least one of them left. The fight only ends if you manage to kill that last one before another one can spawn in. That way the web power in tandem with which ever power it is that you have that can damage all enemies touched by the web, becomes much more useful. Needs some work, but it's a start. Bishop is easy enough to get around. A: You already know how to track so you head off yourself. B: Ask Sand for some divination magic to help out. C: Possible extra one-shot character that only sticks around till you get to the gith hideout.

Just looking at the screenshots posted on the Morrowind website, it does look as though there are some that look really bad and some that look pretty good. I recall when I played NWN for the first time that I wasn't exactly blown away by the graphics, but I never thought they were utter crap. They were pretty average. I wouldn't go so far as to say they are still, or even were good, but they worked well enough.

At least you managed to spell Neeshka right this time. I actually like Neeshka, partly because she kinda reminded me of Imoen. I still much prefer Imoen because there is at least some emotional attachment to her what with the whole childhood friend/sister thing and because Neeshka acts a lot more childish than Imoen ever did. What I would have loved to have seen would be to have forced NPC's depending on your class. You need Bishop in order to track down Shandra, but what if you are playing a ranger, or even a barbarian perhaps? In that case I should have thought that you would have been able to track her down yourself without his help. Later on when you need someone to read the true names, why can't you do it yourself if you happen to have a (just for example) 16+ intelligence, or even have Sand decipher them. I don't believe that he can't figure out how to read them himself.

Obviously you can talk to him later, but I think there should have been an option along the lines of "I'm the Knight-Captain. I'll decide what is important, not you."

All that information is already in the chatbox, so all you need is a floaty text toggle.

Perhaps in the I hate you, but I can't kick you out because you said I can't way. He's at least useful though unlike GOTO.

That second picture looks kinda odd with the way some of the ripples just get cut off.

I want to know what the heck my characters were doing while the Jerro's where playing teleport tag. <_<

I'm pretty confidant that at least some of the "OMG IT'S NOT 3D!!!" would go away if they lowered the spheres so that they encompassed the entire character. The only thing that really makes me think that the NWN1 spell effects were 3D was the circle where the spell effect touched the ground. Which spells from NWN1 do you think had the best spell effects? No epic spells please.
