GreasyDogMeat Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 http://nwn2forums.bioware.com/forums/viewt...3&forum=109 A lot of nice fixes in this patch. Gameplay wise I'm most pleased about the removal of law/chaos alignment shifts from spirit eater abilities in MotB. I never understood why suppress gave lawful points. Stealth has also been long complained about, and it sounds like its fixed now. Never really used stealth much myself, so I don't really know how it was broken.

Pop Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Surprising that they removed the alignment shifts. It was a deliberate thing, it seems sort of inappropriate to remove it as though it were a bug. I guess you have to listen to your customers. Now if they would just remove all the weird restrictions on PrCs with the new core classes we'd be keen. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!

ramza Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I still don't understand why they don't include in their patches the Prestige Classes and races that were canned during development. There is so much missing content out there... "Ooo, squirrels, Boo! I know I saw them! Quick, throw nuts!" -Minsc "I am a well-known racist in the Realms! Elves? Dwarves? Ha! Kill'em all! Humans rule! -Me Volourn will never grow up, he's like the Black Peter Pan, here to tell you that it might be great to always be a child, but everybody around is gonna hate it.

Sand Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Mostly because there are sound reasons why that content was canned in the first place.

SteveThaiBinh Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Neither this patch release nor the proposed details for the next patch mention the problem of characters with high craving being unable to go to the Sunken City. Is this fixed, and they just haven't remembered to put it in the release notes? Or is it not a high priority? It's a shame, because I can't progress in the game until it's fixed... :sad: "An electric puddle is not what I need right now."

ramza Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Mostly because there are sound reasons why that content was canned in the first place. For some of them, it was just lack of time that pushed the developpers to cut content... Take the NWNine Agent and NWNine Magus: their abilities can be found on the feat list (when using the dm console). Is it so hard to correctly implement those prestige classes? The same can be said for other prestige classes: NWN1 had the shifter PrC, why NWN2 can't have it? NWN1 had horse riding, is it too much to include that feature in NWN2 (and thus include the cavalier PrC)? etc. etc. etc. "Ooo, squirrels, Boo! I know I saw them!

Sand Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 The Shifter is easy to explain why its not in NWN2. NWN1 is a 3e game and Shifter is a 3e prestige class. NWN2 is a 3.5e game and Shifter was removed in 3.5e.

Walsingham Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I understand that you might be using the suppress feat out of goodness, but I only did it because (as expressed in dialogue options) I refused to be governed by some alien hunger.

Xard Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 That was a big one. Does it really contain new spells? How can it be a no ob build. It has PROVEN effective.

Tale Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 (edited) Who said it had new spells? 1.12 supposedly has 20 spells on the list, though. Edit: HAHA! People on the forums say that there are new spells that aren't supposed to be in yet. That's awesome.

Gromnir Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 2 weeks after Gromnir stopped playing nwn2, the patch finally gets released. ... is a good thing that the game were relative stable (though we had more than just a handful o' ctds, most were related to transitioning on world map with spell effects or active familiars... so were a problem with an easy 'nuff work 'round,) 'cause am not recalling a pc game for which it were taking so long to patch. hell, even toee got patched quicker and atari and troika were slappy fighting at the time which were making any sorta a patch seems less than guaranteed. maybe after Gromnir gives ME a try we will manage "If there be time to expose through discussion the falsehood and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence."Justice Louis Brandeis, Concurring, Whitney v.
