Humodour

What is this ****, my party members are casting spells on their own and I can't find an option to turn that off. I thought NWN2 dumped the idiotic companion system of NWN1? Cheers, MC, got any examples that don't spoil things too much? I need to know what to look for. Edit: Nevermind, I turned NPC AI off. This isn't Dungeon Siege, Obsidian. Edit 2: How do I select all party members in this game? It's not letting me highlight an area like in IE games. OK, so I just found out F1, F2, F3 etc chooses your party members. That'll do. Now how do I turn off auto-focusing on the target member selected? I want to be able to look at party member 1, select party member 2 via F2, and not have the screen move/jump to party member 2. *sigh* no, this is crazy, I need a 'select all' button. (Note: I found out I have to bind 'select' all to Q then hold Q while dragging the mouse to select an area - ridiculous.) Edit 3: Why can I only equip one weapon combo at a time? In IWD2 it was done perfectly. Why the step backwards? Oooh I get it, I drag weapon combos to the quickslots. That's not obvious. Edit 4: The game froze again. I give up. Not playing anymore.

My companions in the tutorial cannot multiclass. Is that normal?

It crashed a third time 1 minute into the game after freeing 10 GB of space and restarting. That's twice now when trying to save the game. Uhg. I lowered all graphical and audio settings to the lowest values. So far It's been playing fine for 15 minutes and I've saved 4 times. If it's stable like this for a few hours, I'll start increasing graphical settings until one of them makes it freeze again.

I finally started playing NWN2 today and I was about to do the archery competition of the tutorial and the game crashed/froze. I had to restart. This is the second time that has happened. I just realised I've only got 188mb of space on C:/, so that's possibly at fault. I'll free space but I doubt it's the cause. Also, ever since I installed NWN2 and ran it for the first time, I've now been getting these weird graphical glitches in the normal desktop environment for XP - sections of the screen being copied and moved up or down. They're intermittent and temporary, often happening when I scroll in web browsers or folders. But they're annoying and NWN2 caused them. They do not occur inside NWN2 or HoN. My system is: Core 2 Duo, 2Ghz 4GB of DDR3 RAM (only 3.5 GB available) nVidia Geforce 9400 M (512 DDR3 RAM shared with CPU, so it runs off the CPU bus and is hence probably 33% slower than dedicated GPU RAM). I've been getting some RAM errors lately, but based on error code the comp was beeping when refusing to start, those appear to have been due to dislodged RAM sticks. I pulled them out and put them back in the comp boots normally now. I am sceptical of my RAM being faulty because I've been playing Heroes of Newerth Beta - DotA inside a dedicated new 3D graphics engine - for 2 weeks now without any problems (especially not freezes requiring reboot). Strangely, NWN2 also seems like a performance hog - requiring me to lower the graphical settings where many other games do not. But I don't care too much about graphics since what I've seen of the game so far is great fun, but it's disappointing. I've applied the latest NWN2 OC patch. So, any ideas? My graphics card driver version is: 6.14.11.8585

I would also be interested in this. Cosmetic mods are good too!

What the heck is going on with this thread. Edit: don't look at me! Spider made the thread.

Actually, it'll not just boil the atmosphere and oceans but it'll also swallow the planet when it goes into it's Red Giant Phase. The expansion of the sun is something like 4 to 6 billion years off, though. The boiling of the oceans and evaporation of the atmosphere is 'only' around 1 billion years away. This would have to be the closest. Has ANYBODY read the last book of the Bible? Anybody? Anybody at all? I really can not believe some of this stuff. You do know hes quoting Ghostbusters right? You're kidding. That's in Ghostbusters??? I am not quoting!!! And D_N, that is explicitly stated in Revelations. Seriously. That is fact if anything is. You do realise the Bible is made up, right?

I've played enough games with you Walsingham. People like you believe Bernanke is the greatest blessing since Moses, and that waterboarding is a sex-game. You can't be reasoned with. It is, however, very funny to watch you flare up when you're confronted with something you can't deal with.. You clearly don't know anything about Wals if you're willing to make those accusations about his character. I've come to the conclusion that you're delusional and when faced with cognitive dissonance (i.e. everyone who's sane pointing out that you're a conspiracy theorist) you chose to reconcile it by launching attacks on the supposed political affiliations of your critics rather than face the notion that you believe in absolute fantasy.

I actually find that sort of customization more of a chore than actual fun, as it ends up with me wasting time finding a combination of features that isn't hideous for something that has zero effect on gameplay. Choosing between premade heads a la KotOR is good enough for me, but even if that's not present, I won't miss it. Oblivion style face editing was abysmal. Who ever thought adding 50 different variables to face generation was a good idea should be shot. NWN2 face editing is OK but can still get a little overwhelming. It's probably the closest to optimal though.

Funny, to me it sounds horrible. BUT YOU'RE FROM SWEDEN.

Warlocks do get Bluff and Intimidate as class skills, as well as Beguiling Influence as a 1st-Level power, which IIRC adds +6 to all Bluff, Intimidate, and Diplomay scores for 24 hours. Otherworldy Whispers (?) grants a similar bonus to, IIRC, Lore and Spellcraft; The Dark One's Own Luck adds your charisma modifier as a luck bonus to all saving throws, Leaps and Bounds gives a +4 bonus to Dexterity (although this doesn't stack with other DEX bonuses, IIRC). All in all, it can be worth getting two levels of Warlock to start with. Arrrg! Two many ****ing choices! In a good way I guess.

So true, you speak with the wisdom of many enlightened men. And you have a Burn Notice avatar. I'd say we're square.

Rand's ideas were not new or unformulated. She just had the... tenacity to drone on about them all in an integrated manner for hundreds of pages.

But not the ideas Rand champions.

Vacuum metastability event? Funnily enough, if that ever happens it won't be because somebody turned on the latest atom smasher, but because of a freak cosmic event - any energy level produced on Earth can be guaranteed to have been produced naturally in the past by stars, black holes, and similar.

Do we visit any English-speaking countries?

I've never heard of that, but I don't know why Blizzard is tying it to LAN, since they could just, y'know, fix b.net instead.

Excellent!

Because I can: I will play DotA with you (OK, so I mean HoN). DotA is kind of related to DoD. Two characters are the same.

Hmm, that's something I'll consider. Might even make sense to grab 4 levels for fighter specialisation for weapon feats. Can't wait to finish work so I can build my char.

I generally don't run CPU's fast enough that they need super cooling so no clue sorry.

Not the best example, considering Deus Ex isn't nearly as advanced in terms of graphics as recent games. Yet I still didn't care, and still don't care in the latest super graphics games where the PC is a guy. I think you place too much emphasis on how much you think the average person cares. It's not like we can choose a girl - THEN it'd be fun.

Hmm, that looks decent. I'm a fan of Bards, Clerics, and dragons.

OK guys, you've turned me off Warlocks and Monk's, and because I dislike straight fighters (or variations on that theme - Fighter/Rogue), I'll pick the Druid after all. Another thing is that Druids get diplomacy but Warlocks don't. Druids can still get the critical hit feats right? I remember having obscene crit chances in NWN1 and IWD2 like rand n00b mentioned - but it was a combination of feats and weapons - is getting at least 15 crit chance doable on a Druid? What about when Shape-sihfted into elemental/animal form?

Excellent! Thanks dude - didn't even know the game had been released yet.
