Neverwinter Nights: Darkness over Daggerford

[Judge Hades]

Yeah, I just love those blowing chunks out of people with the minigun. There was this one time I just went berzerk in the Hub. Meaty chunks everywhere. HAHAHA!

[Dark_Raven]

It's a good game to play when you are depressed/ pissed off or whatever. Kill everything in sight and eventually that negative energy leaves you and you feel better. Than reload and play the game as a goody.

back on topic... if that is possible:

 

this mod is pretty bugged. it may have the "professional" feel to it, but certainly not the professional level of good QA that results. in one side quest, you'll inevitably lose your only tank henchman and you have to run a script to get her back. some other quests never give you a resolution, i.e. the dialog tree with the quest giver never acknowledges completion. there's one that i've seen that does not allow you to do what you say you're going to do (pick up a chest). another results in your contact mysteriously disappearing though the quest is put into the finished tab. hopefully ossian studios will get the bugs worked out in coming releases. it does seem BGish with numerous little side-quests popping up here and there. the quests are not really "fedex," so much as running back and forth, in the beggining, to research the problem du jour.

 

all in all, it seems like a fun mod that just needs a lot of work. as with what seems like every story these days, you're fate is written in the stars in a manner of speaking. however, your inclusion into the grand scheme is NOT because you were fated to be a part of it all, it is because your long-time friend was mistakenly taken captive (instead of the grand scheme person, who has similar looks) and you got shoved into the fray simply because you want to save her. sort of a back door into fate i guess.

... in one side quest, you'll inevitably lose your only tank henchman and you have to run a script to get her back... (severely snipped for my own pleasure and delight)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

I lost my rogue henchman, not the tank one. Perhaps it depends on which one you get in the prologue thing (playing as a rogue or mage gives you the tank character in the prologue I believe, whilst playing as a fighter gives you the rogue).

Nevertheless, I agree... it's pretty buggy. I honestly thought it was the end and was about to give up on the module before I found out about the script thing (because I really needed a rogue in my party).

Besides some quests that I can't seem to finish (I think I've only encountered one) I've also found that you can screw up some up some quests depending on which order you say things. Well, at least superficially and dialogue-wise. The quest is finished either way, it's just that if you say the dialogue in the wrong order, it seems as if you haven't gone to the bottom of it, even though you have all the clues.

 

Ah well, regardless of whatever bugs (none are show-stopping, I believe), it's a very fun campaign.

That one got me, too. Luckily I had a saved game before that quest begins, and I was able to avoid it until a solution could be found.

 

All in all, there are some bugs, but overall still a very good module.

Are you sure? Your bugs have BG1/BG2 (fully patched) written all over them...

(Yes, I am replaying those 2 due to having obtained the DVD-collection)

And are WAY less worse than; let's say... Kotor2...

Wait, can he say that here?

I prefer something a bit more action oriented. Typically a First Person Shooter. More instant gratification.

It's no moreso bugged than the BGs were.

That doesn't make sense... the BGs were bugfree.

 

At least for me.

Not here.

[Hassat Hunter]

After installing ToSC, patch for it AND a fan-patch BG1 is still riddled with bugs

(Don't say you never saw your desktop after entering a house in Baldur's Gate for example... or tell me where you found the body of some guy at the Ankhegs north of Baldur's Gate... not that there ARE any there " )

 

BG2 does it a better; though...

I remember getting the crash when entering a house in Beregost. I never noticed any bugs other than the ones that crashed the games. I'm sure they were there, but that doesn't mean that I noticed them. "

Mostly for me, too, but I think that's because I don't tend to do unexpected things or explore every nook and cranny.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

If BG2 is more stable on your machine, have you tried BGTutu? I guess you probably have, but I'm new to it and I love it.

To each his or her own. There's something really satisfying about listening to someone accuse me of cheating in Counterstrike. And then telling me that he can tell from my Steam account ID that my account had been banned once before.

 

It's the bestest compliment I can get in that game

 

 

As for my BG and BG2 experiences, I can't really remember any bugs outside of Jaheira's romance looping. I played the games patched. It's been a long time though so I may have just forgotten. But if that's the case my experience with the bugs couldn't have been that big of a deal.

[Hassat Hunter]

No, stability is fine with both. Just the scripted thingies. Haven't used BGTutu myself (moved on to BG2 anyways); more bothersome are some unfinished quests... dialog errors and such; and ofcourse disappearing NPC's who then cannot give their quest reward

 

EDIT; just as reference (for BG2) see the huge fixlist of this fan-patch

http://www.baldurdash.org/ToB/Fixes/TOBfixes.html

 

Most I haven't noticed due to not using item/NPC and because I am not that far in the game... but wow...

Haha. Killing little lines of code is nothing if you're not pissing off someone behind another monitor at the same time.

IWD was the better of the IE games when it came to crashing to the desktop problems. Never happened. BG2 was more of a problem with me in that regard.

I chose the Fallouts because they are sad and depressing settings to begin with. Plus mini gun chunks and flame dancing FTW!

[GhostofAnakin]

I ran in to my first freeze up. One of the quests with those two sisters (forget their name).

[Tigranes]

BGs didn't often have "technical" bugs, in terms of crashes, instability or whatnot, except for the famous "green water" and their incapability to run properly on later machines and later drivers, which you can't really blame them for.

 

However, BG2 especially, due to its largeness, had "coding" bugs - e.g. a guy who's supposed to appear doesn't, or a particular spell rolls a D8 die instead of D6 die, and so forth. But even most of those weren't particularly significant.

[GhostofAnakin]

I can't find the Munroes.

 

Help?

[Deraldin]

Who were the Munroes again?

 

The game just crashed on me and I hadn't saved in over an hour I was almost at the end too...
