"Good day

Was I close?

[Jamski]

Not even on the same continent, but a good try anyway

I'm sure that you'll enjoy it.

Dissident, just out of curiosity, what kind of weapon did your character prefer towards the end game? In particular I'm wondering if you took massive advantage of the drow weapon smith the way that I have

[Tuberski]

So, have you got the CEP yet, Jamski?

ACK!

[Jamski]

CEP? Something Expansion Pack?

You've lost me

-Jam

[Tuberski]

Community Expansion Pack. It's 192MB. It just cameout today at neverwintervault.

ACK!

[Jamski]

Ah. I haven't checked out the vault today. Let's have a look.

You need HOTU to use it, yes?

-Jam

[Tuberski]

Nope, it has hakpaks for each version.

ACK!

[Jamski]

Wow! This is basically the ultimate hakpack

I shall DL it now, hopefully get HOTU tommorrow and then make a new module

-Jam

[Tuberski]

That's probably why it is so big.

ACK!

[Jamski]

Still 22 minutes to go... This is one BEAST of a hakpak. I already have some of the componets, and I'm looking forward to being able to combine the skirts with the giant ants and seige engines

My seconed time through HOTU (the character I described above Dwarf Cleric 18/Dwarven defender 10 at the end) I started off using the Enserrric long sword. I forgot to change him into a dwarven axe before I took him.

I ended up finding a dwarven axe called spellcrusher (or something similar). I upgraded this baby to +10 added acid damage, spell resistance, keen, and maybe something else. I cannot remember.

Those dwarven axes (if I have the name right) are exotic weapons. They are 1d10 damage (same as bastard sword) and 1 handed. I got martial weapon proficiency by taking dwarven defender at level 10. And then I used a feat to get exotic weapon proficiency.

And of course the first time through HOTU I was a gnome Illusionist (wizard). I used some of the cool staves you can find. I did not resort to melee combat.

what does that hakpak do?

One thing that is annoying me is I can't seem to get the romances to work. I feel like such a loser

Even in BG2 I had trouble keeping the romances going. I tend to always say the wrong thing.

I couldn't seem to get anything going with

Spoiler:

Aribeth

. Maybe because I got her the evil way, and she was a evil b1tch. I used spoiler tags because this character is a little bit of surprise in chapter 3.

what does that hakpak do?

On its own it does NOTHING. Not one little thing.

Its basically a collection of new models, textures, heads, weapons, objects, icons and so on. The idea is that if everyone gets this one big download, module builders can use it as a "standard hakpak" and it won't be required to download the individual hakpak for each module you get off the vault.

Turns out that
a) I can't use it as patch 1.62 is required (currently only available for the US English version, Atari bastards)
b) I have all the "good" components anyway
c) Its bugged
d) The naming system for all these thousands of new items is insane. Instead of calling everything by a descriptive name, the items have tags that "tell a story" when you read down the list, so you can't work out what anything is unless you look at the model.

I can't imagine this becoming the new standard for mods.
