Barbarian is one of the core classes for 3rd edition, so yes! They should be quite capable of kicking some ass.

 

I'm more of a monk man, myself :D

 

On that note, is the level cap / experience system the same one used in the original NWN? That is, do less powerful enemies decrease in xp value as you go up the level chain?

The NWN2 forums are at Bioware so I guess questions would be best posed there. *shrugs*

 

barbarian708 is my new favourite member :D

NwN2 used D&D 3.5, so anything in there is likely to be in the game.

 

So, Yes.

 

 

PS I like Monks, too.

[Musopticon?]

Rogues, rogues all the way.

I was helping. REALLY!

[Darque]

Make sure to make a Warlock named Volourn as well.

I believe it.

Quick question: Is the alignment system a sliding system like in KOTOR / PST or chosen, as in BG2? With MCA it could be either. I'd hope it was the latter (better chance they'll allow for eeevil deeds.)

Barbarians? How uncivilized.

 

Mages, mages preferably multi-classed with fighters.

[LostStraw]

I want a Barbarian Monk -- screw the alignment rules

All indications are that the alignment management for NwN2 is modelled (and improved) on the KotOR2 one.

But i hope they don't forget there is also neutral, lawful, and chaotic aligment!

[metadigital]

They will, I'm sure.

But that raises some issues. Would you only be able to multi-class into being a paladin or monk? If you start off at true neutral, you wouldn't be able to yet utilize all class abilities when taking an alignment-restricted core class You'd have to do a LOT of good, lawful deeds before you could utilize the paladin?

 

What then, eh?

I would guess that you select your starting alignment and from there on it can change.

So it's NWN, basically? "

Like I said, that would be my guess. How else would you go about it?

I dunno, you could do it like BG, where alignment is an immovable object (except with Viconia and Sarevok?) or if they were crazy, they could get rid of alignment altogether, Fallout-style . The way MCA's made it sound in the interviews I've read, there isn't so much of a "net-alignment shift" dynamic in NWN2 like there was in KOTOR2 (it would be much harder to explain, as it is) but influence mainly involves getting backstory out of NPCs, so it would appear that the alignment system seems more gestalt this time around. That's what I read initially, at least. Maybe they'll surprise us.

I didn't like BG's handling of alignment. My CE character could do lawful and good acts without shifts in alignment or consequences. In NWN 2's method one can shift their alignment by their actions.

[Dark_Raven]

Alignment shifts would be a good thing. You do evil deeds your alignment should reflect that and any npcs that are good should complain.

You didn't have a shifting alignment in BG1 but you did have the shifting party reputation.
