6 Foot Invisible Rabbit Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 First off, wrong forum. Secondly, its a DnD game. Harvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirottu Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 (edited) Secondly, its a DnD game. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And? Help the newbie, Hades, help the newbie. You can do it. I know you can.

Pop Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 (edited) 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? Edited September 16, 2006 by Pop Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!

Surreptishus Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 The NWN2 forums are at Bioware so I guess questions would be best posed there. *shrugs* barbarian708 is my new favourite member :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metadigital Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 NwN2 used D&D 3.5, so anything in there is likely to be in the game. So, Yes. PS I like Monks, too. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkan Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I was helping. REALLY! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I believe it. "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 (edited) 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.) Edited September 17, 2006 by Pop Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!

Would you only be able to multi-class into being a paladin or monk?

How else would you go about it? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 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. Edited September 17, 2006 by Pop Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!

6 Foot Invisible Rabbit Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 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 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Alignment shifts would be a good thing. You do evil deeds your alignment should reflect that and any npcs that are good should complain. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
