Just wondering, does anyone know that if I purchase the Gold edition of NWN, but the regular edition doesn't work on my computer (even with ATI 9200 PATCHES) that it might work?

Strangely enough the Toolset works fine now with the game patched up and the drivers patched up and the graphics card patched up- but the game REFUSES to load any levels...

sounds risky. Just make sure you buy it from a place that allows you to return games after you open them.

Yeah, I found myself a lady bard to henchify with me. Relatively pretty, and since I'm a fighter then I wanted someone with spells who could take care of themselves in a fight, and she seemed the best option.
I then went into the brothel but there was nothing doing there, which was a shame because I paid a fortune to do it. Because my Charisma is so low then I can't persuade anyone to do anything for me. I've got a ticket for the colosseum, which I will visit later, and made my way into the Peninsula area. Tonnes of prisoners to kill, easy fights but little experience. I helped some woman back to the safety of the city gates, but didn't get any exp for it whatsoever.
Next I'm off to the Guard HQ to see what I can do there.
If I were to buy the nymph's cloak then will that raise my CHA to 18 like in BG?

I think I was in the middle of something and noticed about 10 minutes later. Sorry 'bout that.

Anyhow...

So last night my party was getting our ***es handed to us by the Bandit Chief in the caves just West of the Gypsy Village and everyone in the party died AT LEAST once. Being the rogue with tons of hide and move silently skill (along with enhancements to that via items), I eventually just went into hide mode, stole all of the bandit chief's loot, and snuck out without any of the bandits detecting me (this after burning out my raise dead scrolls trying to help my party members... who would promptly get killed by the bandit chief ALL OVER AGAIN each time they were raised... oh well).

So after finally making it back to the Gypsy camp, for some reason there was a one-armed bandit who followed across from Blindman's Bluff and everyone in the Gypsy Camp was attacking it. A 20th-level wizard by the name of Dylanna Mu hit it with some sort of area-effect sonic boom or perhaps ball lightning spell (not sure, one of the new HotU spells) that hit AFTER the enemy was already dead, but succeeded in killing myself and 2 of my fellow party members at full hitpoints.

She first seemed rather remorseful, but after most of them had taken off, she was laughing about it maniacally with her friend, that Eerith character. When she came over to do her business with the gypsies, I struck up a conversation with her asking her to explain herself. Quite a conversation ensued and I turned down many of her offers of free gifts of powerful magical items and other aid as apparent repayment.

It ended relatively well, however. She ended up passing out raise dead scrolls to a lot of people so they might raise on the spot of death due to aid from party members rather than using the gypsy witch.

I begin to wonder about the nature of this server, but I'll keep trying it.

Wow, someone playing the original Neverwinter Nights campaign for the first time? Cool.

Now you begin to understand the saying on the server whenever something goes horribly wrong :

*blames the evil wizards*

BTW Dylanna is my "help the noobs" character. That's why it was so fricking hilarious that I blew you up trying to get that bandit She's the "nice counterpart to Eerieth".

Hehehe - Help! The noobs are under attack from bandits! - BOOM! - The smoke clears, to leave MANY dead bodies - oh whoops, I may have overdone that

Heh, you all made a good profit from the situation though

nymphs cloak only raises it by a certain amount. If it is +4 it will raise it by 4.

You couldn't get laid in a brothel. *points and laughs*

[Skanky Burns]

Jam made Arnelos cry.

[duke o' york]

Jam made Arnelos die.

I wasn't trying to laid in the brothel! I was looking for, er, you know, quests and that.

If I had been trying, of course.....

[Ljube]

Jam made me cry

[Jamski]

Jam made you die.

(was that the right answer?)
