roshan Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 My trial was useless. I had to get Shandra to testify, and I couldnt persuade her to do it using any of the options. But there was no option to agree to let her NOT testify. The only option I had was to end the trial by telling Sand to take over. Amazingly bad design by Obsidian.

alanschu Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Why you assume we is talking about trait 'cause we said we is looking at rolls? that makes no sense at all. Gromnir casts spell. Gromnir looks at rolls down in window. Gromnir sees that a greatsword that we had keen edge cast 'pon does not get an expanded critical threat range. pretty damned straightforward. am not looking at character profile sheet. am looking (for the 6th time now) at the actual rolls. kinda slow today? Because Keen Edge adds the Keen trait to the weapon. So if Keen Edge isn't working, it's because Keen isn't working. I just tested this with three different weapons, and after casting the spell, if I check out the information on the weapon, they now have "Keen" listed. So if it isn't working based on looking at the attack rolls, then I wonder if the Keen trait itself isn't working. and no matter how many ways you tries to figure out some way to convince us that casavir ain't killing grobnar, it ain't gonna do much good if we can plainly see casavir killing grobnar Because I'm not trying to convince you that Casavir isn't killing Grobnar. You actually think I'm bold enough to tell you what's happening on your screen isn't actually happening? If Casavir is killing Grobnar, I wonder if there is something actually wrong with your game. Because Casavir (nor anyone else) has ever started to melee attack anyone in my game, regardless of what friendly fire spells may or may not have hit him, on any difficulty level. And yours is the very first instance I have seen of NPC players actually targetting their own allies and attacking them with melee attacks.

roshan Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 I noticed in my first trial there was some obnoxious loud mouth that came in "defending" me. I didn't know him, so I told him to piss off. I don't think he showed up in my second playthrough.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Heh, you should have let him speak. Apparently, he was sent by Axle to aid you and he sure does a great job at infuriating Torio. :D You really missed a few awesome lines: Venton: You should come out and down a tankard or two with us, by the way - Ambassador, is it? You look like you could be a little fun, you could. Torio: This trial concerns Ember... please stick to the matter at hand. Venton: Aye, I know where I'd like to stick my hand, I do. Audience: Laughter BTW, the way that guy speaks those sentences is simply priceless. Kudos to the voice actor. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> LOL! NWN2 has got some great funny lines.

Dark_Raven Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 the trial also bad idea. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I thought the trial was very well done. One of the better things in the game actually. J. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I enjoyed it. Even though you can skip through it quickly, I never did. Well written and executed. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.

kormesios Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 (edited) My trial was useless. I had to get Shandra to testify, and I couldnt persuade her to do it using any of the options. But there was no option to agree to let her NOT testify. The only option I had was to end the trial by telling Sand to take over. Amazingly bad design by Obsidian. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually, this is not bad design, just you missing an option. I asked Shandra once, politely, she declined. Being a chivalrous chap, I then told Sand not to press the issue. He made a rude comment to me (shocking, I know), but I finished up the trial on my own. Won, too, even without her testimony or Sand's wit. I especially liked the little old gnome lady who runs one of the merchant stores in the docks. I know when she was brought into the room I couldn't help but do my best Sand impression. Oh gods no... laughing.gif And you did the thief path? It may have been even funnier the other way. If you do the City Watch path, you see her being shaken down, and if you interrupt she virtually insists on paying them--it's a sign of a her business propsering, she says. I'd been a pretty good guard up to that point, but I let her pay, then hit the thieves for a cut. An impromptu fine, I figured In the trial Torio makes some comment about "Judging people by their actions," I thought I'd been spotless--then the gnome walks in, and I had the same reaction you did. How am I going to be able to explain *this*?! Fortunately it was a decently written cross-examine, a little diplo skill and I managed to blunt her testimony.

I was still stuck with the same dialogue options with Shandra. Irregardless of whether this was intentional or a bug, it is still really bad design on Obsidians part. Another bug Ive had is with the Blessed of Waukeen merchant in the docks - I didnt get the option to use Blessed of Waukeen on her and get the special items. What a waste of money this limited edition copy has turned out to be - now Im actually considering shelling out the money to buy another copy of the BG series.

Tigranes Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 It was a bug then, and an unusual one. You can stop Shandra from saying much - I picked it, since I always seem to get negative influence with her. Therefore it's not "really bad design". It was good design. It was just a bug for you. ROFL TOFL. Unless you're suggesting Obsids sat there and went "hey, let's make a bug for roshan's version that won't let him choose." In my second playthrough I got Reylene in the trial - i hadn't found her in the first game, so I never got her in there. I also got the random "drunkard" who "testifies" - that was absolute gold. The trial was really well done, even if the evidences part was probably cut.
