He'll just make you die in a very violent manner.

ACK!

[DrSpike]

A character who spams lightly painful arrrows in all directions wherever he is could be quite funny.

Finally got my hands on NWN - SOU, so I played the Dungeon for the past hours. Good work Jam: the dungeons lasts long, and the difficulty is well balanced . The characters get XP and items quite quickly, but then again, the monsters progress quite quickly as well.

Besides, some things are really hilarious. I think Arrian is my favorite character

However, there are a few annoying bugs...
- I never managed to speak with Aaglo (there's the blurb in German saying there's a problem with the mod)
- When I take xenobrew and go to UR, the same blurb appears.
- I brought Doc's head to Skanky, and I brought Skanky's wine to your wife, yet Skanky wouldn't open me the door (fortunately, I could bash it): he always ask if I found DrSpike, and I can only reply that I wet my pants (although I did kill him)
- I met ADG after killing Fez first. Same blurb.
- Jessica Rabbit after killing Fez first. Same blurb.
- Jamski right at the entrance of lvl 11. Same blurb.
- A really annoying bug: I have killed Trip in lvl 11 because he couldn't bear my good character to try talk some sense with Tass. And now, all civilians are against me. I had to take another save, before Osweld's quest, to solve it.

I think that's all I saw tonight. Other than that, great job

You HAVE to speak to people in the right order Spiff (untill I finally get off my arse and completly re-write this whole section) otherwise it won't advance the variable needed to get people off the "default" conversations. If you miss one step, the whole lot is ruined.

I really need to rip that whole dialog tree (tree? its a blinking spiderweb) right out and replace it with a more structured system.

Trip I know about, its the same bug as Vlad.

Anyway - if you had fun, then my mission is fufulled

Zero. I had to reload quite a few times to get LeChuck, and to kill your girlfriend, but the fight against you was extremely easy: maybe because I could attack you immediately without being bothered by too many henchmen (you died about as quickly as the average henchman). What exactly makes you dangerous?

[DrSpike]

No idea, other than the fact the creator said I was quite tough.

[Jamski]

Notes for v2.0 - make Doc slightly harder.

Spiffor - what about all Doc's crazy hordes of Elite Orc Archers? Did you not get pin-cushioned just trying to get close to him?

I am a cleric, I have big armour and shield. The elite archers hardly hit me. The elite grunts were much more of a pain, as I don't hurt too much (mace +3, and strength modifier +2).
Given the objects he dropped, I suppose DrSpike was an electricity-based foe. Had I suffered from his electrical attacks, I'd have trouble I think.

Also, had I been hit more often by his archers, I could have had more trouble healing myself.

BTW, could you explain me how spells work in D&D: I don't understand how many spells a day I can launch, and how to increase this amount...

[Spiffor]

Aside from that, I tried to kill LotM's wife after my triumph over DrSpike. She's frigging HARD! She hits me once every two attempts, and she always do something like 15-20 damage, with henchmen who are also powerful like that. Many, many reloads.

Worse, she nearly always manged to interrupt my heling spells when I cast them in the middle of the melee (concentration 8 + very high wisdom). That helped making her incredibly hard.

Also: the undead pirates in level 8 aren't considered undead: my "turn undead" doesn't work on them at all, and the specific bonuses of my mace don't help.

One last thing I can think of: I went back to see Kody before killing Vovan, with his mace equipped. I said I give it back to him in the dialog box, and he thanked me. Yet, I kept the mace equipped, and couldn't interact with Kody anymore.

[DrSpike]

So LotM's wife is tougher than a big bad orc? Jaaaaaaamskiiiiii!!!
