My MotB thread

[Volourn]

"Anyone else get a Fallout-esque feel to the multiple endings?"

 

Yes, Obsidian did very well with the multiple endings. It's up there with the FO series, and HOTU in terms of top notch handling of multiple endings. Overall, MOTB is a very good game. No doubt about it.

[Jinx]

I have no idea how many variables of endings there exists.

 

Basically there's "unoptimal good ending", "optimal good ending", "unoptimal evil ending" and "optimal evil ending". However, each one of these has insane amount of variables.

 

Looking over the audio files I *think* that the variables are determined by;

 

 

 

Your alignment

Who you brought with you for the final section of the game

What your influence was with those characters

Certain important dialogues you have with your companions during the adventure

What/if you told Ammon about your old comrades

What you did in certain side quests relating to your current companions

Certain npc's you may or may not have killed

Who you sided with outside the city

What you did with Akachi

Your conversation with Khelemvor

If you pursued a romance and how that went.

 

 

There are probably a few more but I think those make up the bulk of it. I'd say maybe 30 or so if you count the conversations before the slide show?

Is there a romance option with Kaelyn?

She's a career woman. No time for settling down.

[Xard]

Nope, she reminds me of Jeanne D'Arc

 

Also, soon I shall gorge Wood Man's delicious spirit. OM NOM NOM

Heh, I completed the game without using the crafting system much... maybe because I was a "Good" guy, not eating my fellow (tree)man, or other natural and/or supernatural beings for that matter. Next time, I think it is going to be Dinner Time!

ROFL. I have an image of you like Sylvester the cat, with a gingham napkin around your neck.

Umm, how and what you can do with all the special essences? How I use Okku's essence to enhance by sword to +10 Blade of Inevitable Destruction? Or Shape of Flame's for that matter. etc. etc. etc.

Use your Mold Spirit feat on the enchanter's bag. the results can be both startling and sometimes a wee bit disappointing. Save before you craft, as usual.

[Gorth]

And if you get it, the Malleate Spirit feat can supposedly work wonders. Well, sort of. It is to Mold Spirit what Great Cleave is to Cleave. I don't know if you can create +10 stuff with it, but you can always try.

[Xard]

Where do you get it?

 

Also, spirit gorge is deliciously evil ability.

 

DUH, of course, the satchel...

 

I tried to mold them outside the satchel, heh

[Tale]

Malleate comes from a weird box you find in Thay. You use the box on an essence (I think), you get the feat.

[Pop]

You have to use it on a spirit essence. I stumbled onto it, never thinking I'd figure it out.

Took me 624 attempts to figure out what the box was for

 

I first thought it was some kind of Hellraiser reference.
