I didn't kick her out. She just left. No idea what my influence with her was, but I was obviously missing a couple points. I have two games at about the same point now, one with Elanee and one without. The thing is I can't recall getting any extra influence with her in the first game. I had to restart from just before Jerro's Haven and work my way through the story till I could get back to Nolaloth's area.

Wow, you must've seriously irritated her. I grew up on a farm so I find it fairly easy to understand a D&D druid, which is probably why Elanee and I get along so well. I get a kick out of Nolaloth; sort of reminds me of the Spectator Beholder in BG2. In fact that whole area is fun to visit. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have no idea what I did to deserve it. I failed two influence checks during the Circle of the Mere encounter and she ran of with Naevan after the battle.

Well considering I'm running it on a 9600 Pro. The only really difference I noticed between the ones I took tonight and the ones that I took yesterday is that the jaggies are a heck of a lot less apparent than they are at 1024. I didn't really notice much of anything when I turned on normal mapping either. EDIT: Lights? Are you kidding me? If there had been any lights in the picture it would have taken 30 minutes before it registered my prt scr keypress. I was at <1FPS as it was.

Got a couple pics here for you guys. Took the first ones of them yesterday, but they were in 1024 with almost everything off. Had to play for another 5 hours from my closest save before Nolaloth's area in order to get back there. Unfortunately I had to substitute Casavir for Elanee, because of some failed Influence checks that caused her to leave the party. Anyway, I managed to retake them all in 1600x1200 with almost all the graphic settings turned up to the max. Kept shadows on low though. My current party (minus Elanee): I like this one. Can't really see much in the picture however it's the text that get's me.

Roshan: Taking 10 levels of wizard instead of 10 in EK only get's you one bonus spellcasting feat that you wouldn't get with Wiz8/EK10. The downside to that is that you don't get a fourth attack at level 20. If you switch those around and max out the EK levels along with your 2 levels of fighter that get's you that elusive 4th attack/round. I never really bothered with any of the spellcasting feats except for extend spell. I always had a couple extended hastes on Sand. By the time I ran through them both I usually needed to rest anyway. The practiced spellcaster feat is apparently bugged, or so I heard several people over on the bioboards claim. Other than that I agree with the rest of your advice. The only skills you can't rely on your companions for are the conversation skills.

You need to be able to cast level 3 spells, a good class to start off in is wizard. Throw in a few levels of fighter so you can gain some of the fighter feats. This is what I did. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Two levels of fighter would be best. You still get 9th level spells, but you also get the 4th attack.

My enjoyment is starting to be impaired. Not sure what causes it, but suddenly I have AVG screwing with game files going "OMG! These are viruses!" I tell it to ignore them while I swear at AVG for crashing the game. 20 minutes later after I start NWN2 back up again AVG will again start yelling at me because of the same stupid files. I TOLD YOU TO IGNORE THEM DAMNIT! Once again the game crashes because of AVG which is then killed... Now that AVG is dead the game is started up once more and everytime I try to open a context menu the game decides to crash again! ARG!

I'm guessing it's another one of those history feats that don't do anything.

Neither one. Cold Iron sucks. It doesn't even allow you to bypass the DR on demons. <_< I just crafted all my stuff from mithril. Made it lighter so I could carry more stuff.

16 hours would have done it here. I made the same mistake. Went around to various places as they were about to close and they all had lineups. I figured if no one was going to show up at EB to pre-order until 7am, then why would they line up 12 hours in advance on launch day.

It wasn't possible in NWN. Yes you had an animation for it, however as Roshan said, animations take time to run. Cleave is instantaneous. You can't show something that supposedly takes no time at all, so cleave was somewhat slower in NWN1 sp that the animation could keep up.

I remember you Caelis.

Ah. ^_^

I'm sorry, but who/what is FCP?

Well, they are just as powerful as Drow, so you should avoid them by that logic, too. ) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Drow are more powerful than either Aasimar and Tieflings.

What can you make with those two? I can't recall any recipies that use them. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ah. Haven't bothered even looking at the first and had no use for the second.

Green sucks. The red was much better. <_<

Yay! Emery returns and the Senators beat the Sabres! On top of that Montreal pwns Tampa! Today is a good day.

I've seen that. One of them ran away from the pack leader. And the only CTD's I've had are caused by alt-tabbing, or much more annoyingly, by AVG going OMG! chactersheets.xml is a virus! as it minimizes the game to tell me this. Of course once the game is minimized it crashes... <_<

And Super Smash Bros. Brawl. ) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually, the Wii has slots for 4 GC controllers and memory cards. The next Smash Bros will be designed for the GC controller. if you have a gc controller, I doubt the classic controller will be needed. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, but I don't have any gamecube controllers...

Guess there really are snow elves, I should have checked that link before posting... There are also ghost elves around too. )

Nitpick: It's Derek, not Erik. And that was a really awkward fall on that knee.

Agreed. I much prefer the tank cleric. He's up front in the heaviest armour he can find with a giant mace to bash in the heads of unbelievers while healing up the fighters.

What can you make with those two? I can't recall any recipies that use them.

Elanee and Daeghun(I think thats how you spell it) are both wild/wood elves. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wild elves and wood elves are two different subraces of elf. <_<
