Ive just ordered the expansion pack should be here wednesday:)
Anyone else getting it.


I never managed to finish NW2 due to hard drive problem but im just this minute installing it again.
Out of curiousity how far was i from completing it. I just started act3, i had to go one on one with this big guy in an arena.

Ooh way off! There were fights with Dragons, Fire Giants and probably another six or seven levels to go before the grand finale. The end of NWN 2 was terrible though, so you didn't really miss a lot in all honesty. All that work, for that end battle/sequence... :(

I'm not sure I'll go with the expansion personally. From what I remember of Throne of Bhaal, PC D&D loses it focus when your characters are level 20+ killing machines. Still, when get the expansion, post your opinions of it. It might change my mind.
 
I've got Mask of the Betrayer (picked it up this morning). Well worth the money IMO :) Epic levels for the win :D They have also done a lot of work to make it more challenging and balanced as the levels go up with approval from Wizards of the coast (such as altering epic BAB progression)

If you had only got as far as fighting Lorne in the arena, you were about a third of the way through act 2, nowhere near the end :)
 
Echo what Lunatic said.

I prefer the level 10-15 stages, like in ToB expansion, the whole game became focussed on magic, spells like TimeStop were truly devastating and archers, fighters etc became almost redundant.

Well, timestop isn't in NWN2, and the change to Epic BAB should create a much more level playing field.

It is true, though, that D&D tends to go flakey in epic levels anyway
 
Well, got MotB yesterday, and must say I'm pretty impressed so far. One of the best things is whatever they've done to optimise the graphics engine. Very different to when it was first released, IIRC it was bringing 8800s to their knees at a mere 1280x1024. Now playing it with just about everything at max on 1920x1200 and it seems very smooth.

Story seems pretty good so far, though haven't got too far yet. Will also have to see what happens as the levels go up - I'm also not a big fan of D&D epic stuff. TBH I would have been happier if they'd just made it seperate campaign from the original OC and started you back at level 1... or perhaps level 10 or so. But ah well, I'll see how it goes.
 
After stopping playing this since my last post in this thread i had a big session yesturday, which has got me back into it. Im still playing as the monk, which seems to be recommended on here quite a bit. I hear hes a powerhouse once he gets to later levels but at the moment hes just average, if i didnt have my team with my i would never get anywhere.
Heres my monks specs:
Name: Skarin Asgard
Lawful/Good
Monk
LVL 8
Strength 17 +3
Dexterity 12 +1
Constitution 13 +1
Intelligence 10 +0
Wisdom 16 +3
Charisma 10 +0

I am building him up the right way, apparently you want high wisdom for the AC bonus, and thats whats gonna make him amazing at later levels. Out of interest what level should i be at to notice thats hes getting really good?
 
Never really played NWN's2 much, got it same time as i got into WOW.

Will put it back on the pc at home, i take it, like all other games now, there are a lot of updates and addons to get too?

Ive got a problem my team wont follow me anymore or carry out attacks unless i tell them to do so? It first happened yesturday with one member so i swapped her with someone else. But now everyones like it making the game for me unplayable. Ive pressed all the buttons on my keyboard still nothing, anyone else have this problem and whats the solution?
 
Might install this again.. Got the urge for it. Is it fairly stable now?

Played it when it came out and hit a game breaking bug about 25 hours in. Kinda made me lose the will to play.. :(

any ideas?
 
surely it will be a setting in party behaviour..you can set it so they copy your actions...or so you have to pause the game and micro manage each npc
 
whats NWN2 like these days is it stable compared to what it was like at launch, im thinking of buying it now after playing NWN. Just put off by some of the bad things i heard at launch.

Its like Dues Ex 2 compaired to Deus Ex, a great game but not very great when compaired to the original.

Well worth a go if your into D and D.
 
Well I've finally reinstalled and patched this to play it again.. However, when I run it on Vista64, it comes up with a wsock32.dll error! If I click this about 8 times, it goes away and I can play but it is slightly annoying!

Any fix for this?
