Neverwinter nights-revisited

I never had a problem with Mind Flayers too much in NWN.

They aren't nearly as scary as in BG2. Although now I know some better tactics, they really aren't that scary in BG2 anymore either. But the first time meeting them

As for NWN. I do remember dying in one battle

Spoiler:

after killing the elder brain, you are in a room with several of the higher class mind flayers (they were called something else iirc). I reloaded and fled the room. I was able to seperate them out a little bit, and it was easy after that.

Yeah, they're pretty weak compared with the equivalents in BG2, but NWN is much less tactical than BG so you don't have the options available that you needed to beat them before, so they have to be weaker.

What I am impressed by though, are the models for the Illithids

Me too I always liked Mindflayers, they are one of my favorite enemies.

Spoiler:

...and the Dracolich, I didn´t know of the hidden Filatery (sp?) and had to defeat him 4 times IIRC. Great battle
Another great moment was the city siege, controlling everyone to do the right thing and all that was amazing!

[Jamski]

I'm just at that bit now, Mr Horror, and its rather fun That's one great model, so its worth seeing it in action a few times

Spoiler:

And anything with "lich" in the name must be storing its soul somewhere...

Devour Brain!

Spoiler:

I didn´t find his secret room until I killed him for the 2 or 3 time... I tried to stay close to the door just in case I had to run
Also I didn´t know Liches (sp?) stored their life esence somewhere until I played Icewind Dale I recently.

Is there anything I can read to know more about the Forgotten Realms and it´s friendly () creatures?

Devour Brain!

If you don´t mind...
/me gets ready to strike at Jamsky...
Hey! There´s nothing there!

[Jamski]

Yeah, too much playing with the Illithid as a kid.

For more background on the Forgotten Realms... ummm... WotC (Wizards of the Coast) sell a huge range of (overpriced) books and so on... but I'm sure they have loads of background info on their site (If it hasn't already been deleted as they phase out FR )

Uh... what do you mean?

[duke o' york]

WotC have decided to stop producing literature for the Forgotten Realms. They have basically discontinued the whole world, although maybe they will allow existing licence-holders to continue making CRPGs. They've got a new world they're going to start heavily promoting, and there was a thread about it here last week. It should be on the first three pages if you want to find it.

[Unspeakable Horror]

Thank you!

Edit: Hmmm, any ideas about the thread name? Can´t find it.

Thank you

I found the thread before but didn´t read it completely

[Jamski]

Shame on you. Not reading one of my threads

I'm upto the beginning of Chapter 3 now in HotU, and I have to say if the OC had been this kickass good, NWN would be the most loved and popular game ever. The final scenes of chapter 2 are literally breathtaking, from the return to the city, though to the crazy plot twist.

Wow!

[Dis]

cool. I liked chapter 3 as well. They do have 1 little side quest which you have to do (a bit linear there) that may seem pointless to the overall plot. But I found it humorous.

Me Go Gem!

[DrSpike]

Hmm, since this game works similarly under the hood to KOTOR maybe I should make it my next game. Jamski seems to like the new xpack.

[Jamski]

I'm wild about it. So many new toys for me to use in my modules

Not to mention getting the Community Expansion Pack the day before so now I have about 6 times as many toys to play with... no more, maybe 12 times
