You mean, Gabrielle.

If anyone is on a modem, they'll struggle through loading this page.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

oh, a modem? those still exist?

 

are they powered by steam? "

[Tigranes]

I think you must be thinking of the CEP (community expansion pack)

 

Now you know its name, go look it up. It'll do you good.

[Bokishi]

"NOPE"

 

Yes.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

NO

[Volourn]

"NO"

 

Yes.

[Dark_Raven]

"NO"

 

Yes.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Afraid not my little BioFan. The Fallout games win that by a long shot.

[Judge Hades]

"NO"

 

Yes.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

No. :ph34r:

 

It doesn't have screaming alphas, shotgun blasts to the groin, or lasers.

Or plasma shots to the groin.

 

Too bad NWN doesn't have critical shots.

[Judge Hades]

That would be funny.

 

"The Ice Mephit dies melting due 142 points of fire damage to the groin."

 

That would be a fun little message and animation.

 

Or...

 

"You cast Magic Missile at Klauth's groin. He takes 34 points of damage, bend over and dies due to embarassment as his clutches his privates."

"Too bad NWN doesn't have critical shots."

 

Um... Yes, it does.

[Judge Hades]

It has basic critical hits but no additional animations or specific areas that can be targeted like Fallout. One of the weakness of the d20 System it doesn't have a proper called shots system.

[Volourn]

"specific areas that can be targeted"

 

Um... sure it does.

 

Called shot (arms), and Called shot (legs).

 

Sure, things don't explode like FO; but NWN does have its version of called shot and critical hits.

 

Of course, called shot (either version) will NOT be in NWN2. BOOOO! More options taken away from fighters.... Might as well go play the IE games where (not counting TOB) all they could do is swing their weapons.

[Judge Hades]

The Called Shots ability in NWN is a joke and not a part of DnD.

[Volourn]

Why is it a joke? It's awesome. And, it is part of D&D. Called shots in some form have almsot always been partt of D&D (at least since 2nd E like over a decade ago)...

[Judge Hades]

2e was ADnD. 3e and above is DnD. Its not a part of the baseline rules of DnD. In case you forgotten Baseline rules of DnD are in the SRD.

[Volourn]

It's in tHE DMG I believe as an option. Not the exact way it's done in NWN; but it's there.

 

Either way it's irrelevant because the called shots only add to the gameplay since it gives more options in how to approach combat. That is ALWAYS a good thing.

[Judge Hades]

If you say so, but there were a ton of option s Bioware could have implemented in the baseline rules without the need to make stuff up.

[Jorian Drake]

my pictures are gone! someone stole them! :'(

[alanschu]

They were moved to a new thread.

[Jorian Drake]

They were moved to a new thread.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Where??

[alanschu]

Look for a thread created by you talking about NWN portraits.

 

I could link it, but I'm a bit lazy at the moment "

[metadigital]

Yes. Toggleable hoods and fancy Jedi robes are a must.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

And custsomizable hilts.

 

They were moved to a new thread.

Where??

here

[Morgoth]

The update includes visible cloaks as well as more scripting stuff, and spell fixes/updates!

 

Good stuff!!!

I don't see how that should get me excited... NWN is old, rife for the dinosaur age...even your silly cloaks can't change that.

Bring on Dragon Age already!!!

[alanschu]

Yeah!

 

Cue the vapourware comments.
