I really liked the high levels in MotB, it opened up a lot of interesting and fun builds that are kinda awful to attempt in the OC or SoZ. For example just something as simple as a tiefling wizard with a level of rouge to get access to useful skills. It'd make the beginning of the OC even more of a sludge and never be of any real use in SoZ. Heck even a drow sorcerer is viable in MotB because at those levels losing out on 3 spell levels isn't crippling anymore.

I would recommend picking up Neeshka before doing the swamp cave, there are some locked chests in that area.TerminusEst13 posted:Then Elanee says she's been watching me my entire life. All 98 years of it. Annakie posted:I always get stuck at the Ilfarn ruins. I don't know why but that is by far my least favorite area of the game. Even worse than the Orc Caves. Probably half the times I've replayed I've abandoned the game or had months of not-playing once I hit the ruins. This time is no exception. Try and focus on something great afterwards. Personally my favorite dungeon isn't too far beyond that, Jerro's haven. I'll even get to pick up my favorite npc too. Might just be enough to drive me to finish it.

That's a directx error that has nothing to do with either GoG or NWN2, try (re)installing directx9. Don't attempt to just download the .dll file.

The only place I can think of where enemies respawn is in the final dungeon.Krowley posted:How viable is an enchanter sorcerer in MOTB? I found out the hard way that playing a rogue was gonna suck because of all the undeads and spirits you fight are immune to sneak attacks, so I'm just wondering if they're immune to charms and mind-controlling spells that as well.

Those problems are pretty common though. Derail incoming. I am reminded of the Shadow World in Rolemaster where you have things like bronze age cultures living next to iron age cultures with no transfer of ideas or technology despite all the trade they supposable do. But my favorite is the totally-not-Aztec kingdom that has conquered a lot of land despite not being able to smelt copper or figure out how a wheel works, despite all their now-conquered neighbors knowing how. Also their lack of metal and wheels is entirely arbitrary since they don't actually lack ore or draft animals. And that's ignoring all the other totally-not cultures (like totally-not-ancient Greece, totally-not-iron age Rome or totally-not-bronze age celts) that are randomly plopped down with appropriate climate with no regards for or understanding about even very basic geography.  My group had to spend time adventuring near this awful city that everyone in the region liked which was ruled by very high leveled mages who employed a ridiculous amount of seers constantly scrying for any possible threat. If they found one they'd just send out their high level elite knights who all have special unique magical weapons no one else can ever get so the special snowflake city can never have anything bad happening to it forever and ever. One last thing (I could rant for days), the setting also has a race of humans who are taller, stronger and just plain better than regular humans in every single way. Oh, and they are known as empire builders and are all fair skinned and blond.

mitochondritom posted:but NWN2 is probably the most buggy and shockingly crappily performing games I have ever played. Even my 2012 built PC (which ran Skyrim on ultra ok) seems to stammer and heat up until every fan is going full power when the NWN2 engine starts. Not even the game itself, but the character creation screen. Just one of those janky old games I guess Reduce the shadow quality and it should run a lot better.

One thing of note about warlocks, unless it has been patched out using Eldrich Spear allows you to attack from further distance than the enemy AI can detect you from. It does kinda trivialize some parts of the game.BadAstronaut posted:Also, how easy is it to transfer saves between PCs? I can probably play an hour or two at work every day on breaks etc, and then a couple hours in the evenings back at home. There's no cloud save, is there?

I've never seen a game where moving save files wasn't just copy&paste. Excluding mmo's of course. You don't really need the extra range at any point. Pick something that's good all the time instead.  Crafting is a tedium. I could never be bothered to craft anything in the OC and it was still very beatable. If you can live with not-perfect not-the-most-optimal gear you will do fine without it.

Ever tried to run Storm of Zehir with a six character party with two animal companions, two familiars and six summoned creatures? It's not pretty. Apparently you keep the monk wis bonus to ac as a druid when shapeshifted. Does that also work in pnp?

For the love of the gods have one party member with spot/listen, hide/silent move and survival or you'll be moving across the map at a snail's pace constantly getting into combat with monsters you won't see until they're on top of you.

I have, but it was years ago. The only things I remember is that manual attacks get a bit repetitive, you probably want to focus on blasts that hit many enemies at the same time and the eldrich-something that extends your range can allow you to attack enemies from out of their aggro range. Which means they'll just stand their and take it, but it might have been patched out since it was before MoTB.

Wouldn't a more effective way be to prevent faithless from benefiting from divine magic? Need a healing spell heretic? Tough. Not the slightest idea if it would/could work though.

Factor_VIII posted:Same with e.g. the fact that the default character generation system was "roll 3d6 6 times keeping track of the order of the rolls; these are your stats", which meant that if you played by the default rules then both the race and the class of your character was literally determined by a roll of the dice since they both races and classes had minimum stat requirements. Wanted an elf but rolled a Cha of 7 or a fighter but rolled a Str of 8? Too bad.  It's bad enough when you have to roll stats at all instead of a point buy or similar. It's like the game goes "Haha, gently caress you for rolling so much more poorly than everyone else. Have fun being gimped, loser.  ".Ehum, sorry about that but I feel very strongly against it after my own experiences of rolling up stats for pnp. To make a comparison to ancient Greece, it's really not fun when you roll up a powerful Spartan when everyone else rolls up Heracles.
