Just so my only contribution isn't a mispostThe White Dragon posted:thanks for the no-spoiler heads up, i was about to head in but now i'll be more cautious It may not be as bad as you're thinking. There's a noncombat way to resolve the last part. I won't say any more because spoilers.

Knuc U Kinte posted:I'm not really enjoying Defiance Bay. Every time I do a quest, 10 more pop up and they're all "run to the other end of defiance bay and get into a fight type crap. my advice is just not to do every single sidequest in Defiance Bay. it has the most sidequests of any area in the game. just do the ones you encounter easily and think your character would do. there's way more xp in this game than you need to hit the level cap.

Disco Infiva posted:As I remember it, Ferret Baudoin was lead designer who jumped ship to Bioware several months before NWN2 release date, leaving the game as an unplayable mess. Sawyer took over and tried to save as much as he could. That's kinda weird because vanilla NWN2 really feels a lot like a really mediocre Bioware game for like 2/3rds of it

01011001 posted:they dont have much hp in general, its just that they have high deflection so theyre pretty hard to hit with weapons This is the main problem with them for early game parties. The solution is to have some way to protect your backline damage dealers who aren't going against their deflection with their attacks (many of the solutions here presented are usefull for that), and to have poo poo boosting your accuracy and counter-acting all the poo poo they have that drains it (prayer against fear, the variety of paladin and priest spells/auras that increase accuracy, etc). Priests are awesome against shades. Once again, Durance is best companion.

I got greedy and beat the final boss and now I can't decide between going back to the pre-final area save (which is automatically made before you make the decision to go to the endgame, and has a very helpful 'PRE-ENDGAME' label applied to it, thanks Ropekid) and doing the poo poo I didn't do (which includes finishing optional dungeon and two companion quests) or just starting over with a new class doesn't help that I hit level cap a good ways before the end and that kind of makes a lot of the stuff I haven't done feel empty even though logically it shouldn't

1. get your front line engaging everything 2. move Aloth to the side of the whole formation 3. fan of flames 4. repeat there, you're set for the first 8 levels. I mean you can do a lot more than that and you'll benefit from it, but that's all you really have to do.

BBJoey posted:the whole soul backstory thing would be a cool and great idea if they weren't written by 14 year old sonic fans/30 year old anime fans about their ~super original character don't steal~ killing lots of baddies and/or kissing lots of ladies There's like three of them that are actually pretty cool and totally different from the others but I can't remember where they are or what they were. Just remember thinking "Oh hey, this is actually pretty creative and cool". To narrow it down, I think only one of them was a Godlike, and the Godlike one seemed like a deliberate parody of the kind of stuff they got for the rest of them. Knuc U Kinte posted:I have played at least 40 and I'm still in definace bay. I load the game up a lot and then leave it on the menu screen tho. The game length varies a ton depending on how you play it and the difficulty settings and everything else. I think minimum hours is like 35 and maximum is close to 100. Also Act 2 is the biggest act by a bunch so if you're trying to be really completionist it will take you forever

Black Baby Goku posted:How many acts are there. Also the end of act 2 is epic technically 4, but Act 4 is just the endgame dungeon and final boss. Act 2 is the biggest. Though most of the bounties are only available in Act 3, if you're into that (you should be, most of them are cool fights)

I cringe a bit when I see someone posting in the games thread telling people to make a full party of custom NPCs immediately on Hard because that's what the game is balanced around I did the temple of Eothas and the Raedric fight my first time through with just me, Aloth, Eder, and Durance and only had to reload a few times

Lunchmeat Larry posted:Games posters are bad at games (and life) but a full party of custom NPCs with a spare slot for Durance is the most fun way to play. Or maybe my broken brain just really loves character generation I guess There's nothing wrong with making a custom party if that's how you want to play. Just do it because it's fun for you, not because you listened to advice from people who are bad at the game and think you need that level of micromanagement to win on hard
