September 16, 200619 yr Secondly, its a DnD game. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And? Help the newbie, Hades, help the newbie. You can do it. I know you can. Edited September 16, 200619 yr by kirottu This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
September 16, 200619 yr 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, 200619 yr by Pop Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
September 16, 200619 yr The NWN2 forums are at Bioware so I guess questions would be best posed there. *shrugs* barbarian708 is my new favourite member :D
September 17, 200619 yr 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
September 17, 200619 yr Rogues, rogues all the way. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
September 17, 200619 yr 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
September 17, 200619 yr 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, 200619 yr by Pop Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
September 17, 200619 yr Barbarians? How uncivilized. Mages, mages preferably multi-classed with fighters. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.

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?

September 17, 200619 yr So it's NWN, basically? " <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Like I said, that would be my guess. How else would you go about it?
September 17, 200619 yr So it's NWN, basically? " <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Like I said, that would be my guess. 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, 200619 yr by Pop Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
September 17, 200619 yr 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. Harvey
September 17, 200619 yr 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.
