YAY! HOTU is here!

See you in a week

So why do some people say the original campaign for NWN is not that interesting?

[Dis]

because it's not

Actually there are some good parts to it. Some people do not like the creator ruins. I liked them. I liked that trial quest. I also liked the town that has been banished or something like that. And I did like some of the plot points such as the whole Aribeth, Denthick, and that other guy thing. That was interesting.

[DrSpike]

But why rave about the game if the plot is not that good? I know there are mods and stuff, but you want the core game to be good as well right?

[Skanky Burns]

The gameplay is seperate to the plot. The gameplay can be good with the plot crap. Apply mods to such a game, and you have a game with great gameplay and great plot...

[DrSpike]

Hmm ok, but I still have BG2 on my list above Neverwinter Nights I think.

[Jamski]

Its the way the game is made Doc. The mods are modules, not modifications to the original plot. In fact I never saw a mod for the original plot. The modules are basically new games, with the same engine.

Examples :
SMAC and Civ2 - same engine (basically) different games.
Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale - same engine, different games.

That's why people say NWN is a great game, because after you played the original module, and the expansion modules, there's still thousands (yes thousands) of other modules to play.

As for the original campag.... its "ok", but just nothing special. The Dungeon of Apolyton is much more entertaining

Oh, and I can't start a proper run-through of the HotU campagian yet because I really can't decide what character to be. I played into the first level of the Undercity(?) and its CHOKA with traps. I need some Rouge levels.

The music and cutscenes r0xx0rs though

Oh, and Doc, the engine is the same as KOTOR, that you're currently playing.

[DrSpike]

Yeah I understood mod in this case meant modules. I probably will get around to NWN, but at present your BG speeches have convinced me more.

[duke o' york]

Well Jamski, I bought BG1 on your recommendation, and now it seems that Doc is too. You should be on commission from Bioware!

[DrSpike]

We've found a job that even Jamski would do.

[Jamski]

I would (seriously) do a hit on someone if it would guarentee me a job at Bioware. Or at least publically disgrace myself in the most disgusting fashion imaginable. And I probably don't need all those fingers...

Ah, a man can dream...

I've made Bioware at least $100, you'd think I should be on a commission

[Harovan]

A colleague gave me his copy of BG1. Looks promising, but the ****ing game doesn't run farther than the prolog goes, because the CD check fails, even though I have an original CD (or rather even DVD).

Btw, Jam: My half orc barbarian made a bloodbath in the sewers, slaughtering all of Tassadars undead communist friends. It's fun, but you should make medpacks (or potions) more abundant, as healing is a PITA. I rest often, but this feels like cheating. Asmodean is 3 zones away and sells only extraordinary expensive medpacks +10.

[Jamski]

More medpacks, sure I tend to abuse resting, although I'll probably spawn random penguins on resting in v2.0, so more healing will be required...

Do you have the German HOTU yet? It comes prepatched to v1.62, which I was pretty damm happy about. Now I can use ALL the modules on the vault.

[Harovan]

I go to Bamberg and hopefully get it tomorrow.
