Kaftan Barlast Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 I was looking around and saw that my usual store has that nifty euro deluxe NWN box thats essentially a product of ATARI screwing BioWare by releasing the "platinum edition" 15 euro cheaper and in a different package, But anyway, Ive already played NWN and the first expansion(got rid of em ages ago) so if Id get this package it would be just for Hotu. Some people say there are good fanmade modules out there but I never saw any worth playing. But, do you think its worth it?

Volourn Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 Did you hate NWN? If you did; don't buy it. It's NWN. Period. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Tanuvein Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 I hated NWN and loved HOTU. Unlike the original and first expansion, its good. Plus there are a TON of great single player mods. I can give you a list if you want. There are probably good multiplayer ones too, but I don't care about those.
Volourn Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 "I hated NWN and loved HOTU. Unlike the original and first expansion, its good." Really? Or did you mean you hated the OC? That's different than hating NW. Afterall, HOTU shares the same graphics, combat system, rules, etc. of NWN. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

That's different than hating NW. Afterall, HOTU shares the same graphics, combat system, rules, etc. of NWN. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually, its a lot different from NWN in several ways. And I said I didn't like NWN. The mods made using NWN creation tool aren't NWN. I never played any mods til I had HotU anyway.
Volourn Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 "The mods made using NWN creation tool aren't NWN." Yes, they are. No tols = no mods. "Actually, its a lot different from NWN in several ways." Exactly the same gameplay. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Judge Hades Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 Depends on how much the Euro is worth. The expansion is worth $20 USD but I have no idea how much that is in Euro.
Tanuvein Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 Depends on how much the Euro is worth. The expansion is worth $20 USD but I have no idea how much that is in Euro. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A euro is roughly $1.50 US
Judge Hades Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 So the game would be worth 15 euro if I was doing my math right.
Drakron Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 You know I find the original topic hilarious. First Atari owns NwN rights, they are the publishers and so they are not "scewing BioWare over" with releasing another NwN package deal since BioWare gets what is in their contract with Atari. Second if anything people were screwed over the Gold edition that had the original NwN + SoU but not HotU that was not released. This "package" editions are somply a way to make some more money out of a aged product, sure you could find the original HotU edition being sold in stores but right now its not something is going to be selling at all, people will pick up the package deal because its cheap. If Atari was trying to sell the package at the original NwN price plus the expansion original prices nobody would pick it up since it would end up being around 90 euros.
Llyranor Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 Hmm, I haven't been very far in the DD mods, but I've been finding them more enjoyable than any of the OCs. For now. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Morgoth Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 The OC was solid, SoU sucked, but HotU is actually excellent! Go get it! Rain makes everything better.
Kaftan Barlast Posted April 1, 2005 Author Posted April 1, 2005 ..there are a TON of great single player mods. I can give you a list if you want. Are they really that good? I mean, it would take one hell of a fanmade module to impress me.

I mean, it would take one hell of a fanmade module to impress me. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, he agrees with me that Beyond Good & Evil was an awesome game, so he's obviously a man of discerning tastes. I might just have to pick up HOTU if it's all that. I never did, because what little of the OC I came into contact with almost made me never play another RPG again (as that was my first experience with one). Then I played KotOR, and later Torment, and everything was okay again.
Monte Carlo Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 There are some really, really good fanmade NWN modules. Unfotunately, they all suffer from the blocky, cartoony, generic and downright boring NWN graphics so they all look pretty much the same. I'm on dialup so I can't be doing with the increasingly massive hak paks and so on, so that's another consideration. Cheers MC

Kaftan Barlast Posted April 1, 2005 Author Posted April 1, 2005 But you like Gothic 2, which kind of undermines your credibility.

Llyranor Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 While we're at it, what community mods have you found exceptional? I haven't been too impressed with the Hall of Fame ones. I've played a few, though I'll admit that I haven't given them too much of a chance, what with having no time and all. The most fun I've had with NWN has been online, though. DMed sessions kick Magical Volo butt. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Darque Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 ^ I'm glad someone had a good online experience with NWN... I tried it once... I still have nightmares.
GhostofAnakin Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 ^ I'm glad someone had a good online experience with NWN... I tried it once... I still have nightmares. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We should game together. You can carry all the loot that I want, but don't want my character weighed down by. As for the user modules, one of my favorites is the Paladin Trilogy (although so far only 2 parts) by Rick Burton. Very entertaining. I also enjoyed the ones where you can join a thief guild and play as a thief.

Darque Posted April 3, 2005 Posted April 3, 2005 Do I look like a cargo transport? Now if it were a PVP game and I had a few wands of magic missiles to burn... "
DarthWeevil Posted April 3, 2005 Posted April 3, 2005 ^ I'm glad someone had a good online experience with NWN... I tried it once... I still have nightmares. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I agree, most of the multiplayer games I ended up in either consisted of a bunch of dweebs respawning just to fight each other to the death again, or you ended up running around trying to keep up with the others in the game, cos none of them actually gave a damn about the story, it just degenerated into a dungeon hack. Not really my cup of tea, I was looking forward to a roleplay experience
GhostofAnakin Posted April 3, 2005 Posted April 3, 2005 Do I look like a cargo transport? Are you sure you really want me to answer that?
