NWN2: Storm of Zehir is out!

Recommended Posts

Dual-wielding isn't causing me any trouble, but that may be because I leave the AI off and obsessively pause and micromanage everything my characters are doing.

 

It is annoying, though, that clicking a different weapon configuration in a hotbar usually causes the character to put down her current weapon and wade into combat bare-fisted. It usually takes another click to get the proper weapon in her hands. I recall this happening in prior NWN2 incarnations occasionally, but now it seems to happen every single time.

Ive been trying to get into it, but Ive failed thus far. I think Ive been spoilt rotten by the current generation of RPGs like Mass Effect and Fallout3

Why arent they using the cutscene system in ZOH? Every dialouge so far has been oldschool NWN style, which is kind of gay. Didnt they want to do lipsyncing or what?

I just use the somewhat overheadish default camera.

 

But then I tend to just let the party do whatever and concentrate on watching the party leader...

Making it work with the party conversation system would likely be tricky. Plus, many of us prefer the oldschool style, especially for a game which is not really focused on story or long conversations.

 

As for camera, I mainly use the one called Exploration mode with a few tweaks. I control my party most of the time.

So the whole game is from the standard camera view? *deep sigh* I really dont like reading dialogue off a tiny box in the upper right corner of the screen.

 

 

 

Im inclined to permanently shelf this, Im definently not enjoying it.

Yeah, it's unfortunate they made the Samarchan ranger a dual-wield specialist. I used her as a crossbowman throughout the game. Couldn't get her to dual-wield without constant nannying.

Whats not all, you have to make sure none of the party have shields in their inventories or the AI will switch to shield and.. fist.

Na na  na na  na na  ...

greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER.

That is all.

Nah, it's a format called .bmu. I copy and rip it to MP3 since there's been reports of the .bmu files screwing up and not playing ingame if you listen to them in a media player (might've only been Windows Media Player though).

Yep, whole game is like that.

In my opinion, very much so. Damn addictive. It's no comparison to MotB however: Very thin story, no chatting companions etc. But the whole trading-stuff, exploring, gathering resources, cohorts, trading posts, sightseeing, very challenging fights (if you let the AI buff itself) make it time consuming and, as said, addictive.

It's just too cool moving through the jungle, switching for a short and dangerous while to your fighter / crafter who can't hide from monster but detects a bamboo-bush that he then crafts into a 'howling staff' - it's just too much fun to be bad :)

I've only beenplaying for awhile, and what I can say is:

 

1. Picking fights with people is fun

2. Finding phat loot is difficult

3. Choosing your entire party can be entertaining

4. Playing multiplayer kicks butt
