Neverwinter Nights

[Dis]

I do believe you need martial first.

[General Ludd]

ah, it doesn't mention that as a prereuisite in the manual.... But then again, the manual lists spears as a light weapon when it is actually large. (Why shouldn't a gnome be able to use a spear? )

[General Ludd]

I'm still playing the "trial version" of the expansions, by the way.


Maybe if Jamski or someone told me an inspiring story about some multiplayer roleplaying I could be convinced to buy them....

I'm certainly enjoyng the game more than I did the previous times, atleast.

You'll like it I think. It's a decent game, though after more recent games like KOTOR it is frustrating not being able to direct the henchman very easily. Also in the OC there is the henchman inventory problem, which is quite annoying when you pick up something that is perfect for your henchman.

[Jamski]

This is why MP is so nice - your henchmen are real people

(Although sometimes its hard to get someone to go through the door first - a party with a Rogue, Wizard, Sorceror, Cleric and Arcane Archer spent a LOT of time saying "You go first" )

But they also think you're their henchman!

[Jamski]

True, but you feel kinda useful when people say "Can you unlock this, Jam?" or "Search this chest for traps, Jam" or "Can you ID this, Jam?"

(Yes, its a useless Ring of Int +1, want it back?
No, no its junk, sell it, Jam
Ok, thanks *pockets a ring of ultimate power +100*)

Hehehe

Hehe you have to give items to people with high lore so they can identify them? Talk about potential for abuse.

[Jamski]

Well, most people seem not to be able to work out that you can use the trade/barter interface with other players to SHOW them an item which they can then ID They think you have to GIVE it

In fact lots of people have to be told how to use the trade/barter interface, since you don't have it in SP.

I think I'll pick up the expansions today... maybe I'll join you on that server of yours, Jamski. Is there room for blatantly evil characters?


Or maybe I'll reapply to ALFA.... I never did make use of my membership there and they've reformed now.

[Jamski]

Yes, there are evil characters... but you're not meant to keep killing other people. Once is ok, but often is annoying and will get you in trouble.

Well, I've got the expansions now. I feel like I've been sodomized, though. $80 for two expansion packs.

But I'm told sodomy can be quite fun, so we shall see...

[DrSpike]

Why so expensive? It £35 for all 3 games from Amazon in the UK. That's about $65.

[MattH]

Well, the keygen didn't work so I've given in and shelled out the $$$! I'll be online later.
