In fact, while I'm thinking about pointy weapons, have any of the 1337 modders for NWN developed throwing spears yet? A Greek Hoplite character would be quite fun. The Stoicism would make for good roleplaying.

I'm tempted to have a halfling or a gnome with a halberd, or at least one of the long pointy weapons. Does anyone have any relevant experiences/feats?

The only polearm small creatures can use is the Trident, sorry And that's not a standard NWN weapon, you'll need to play a CEP module.

Y'know what, there's blooming MILLIONS of empty houses to loot in Beregost. I can't believe I spent all day making little rooms that look different

The difference in housing was probably the most striking when I started playing NWN after BG.

Yeah, why don't you get a job or something.
What happened to the one you had? Was 'poly banned or something?

I keep saying it, but: why don't you make it different!!!!
Put some random people in these houses. With decent loot. And level 30 with uberweapons of pwnage!!!!

IIRC Jam called in sick (without actually being such) ONCE and the workplace peopleses showed him to the door.

Well next time he shouldn't claim that he got diseased when fighting a mummy and had to rest.

[Jamski]

The thing is that I DID get diseased fighting a mummy. Problem was, it was my boss's mummy, and he wasn't pleased that I was beating up his family.

Pah, no point in getting a job when I have to work fulltime on BG-->NWN

I just culled half the houses in Beregost and put double loot in the remaining ones. A perfect solution, methinks. Now, why does the town have an insane ratio of 6 houses to 4 pubs? (Not as bad as Nashkel, mind you, which has 2 pubs, a shop, a temple, a barracks, a fair, a mine and one house. ONE. And the guy that lives there is DEAD)

[duke o' york]

Nashkel has a farm too!

Spoiler:

With some ankheg armour buried in the field!

Now was there really any point in spoilering that?

[DrSpike]

No.

[Jamski]

I don't count the southwest side of the river as Nashkel Its more like Essex.

I was going to start playing NWN again, but i can't connect to any servers. I connect to Gamespy and get a serverlist, but whenever I try to connect to a server it times out and my favorites / history shows all the servers as offline, even though they are shown as active in the server list.

[Jamski]

Yeah, Gamespy are mental today, I can't get online to play Rome: Total War vs my brother either. Bloody Gamespy need to realise that the fate of other peoples' products depends on them providing a relyable service.

[DrSpike]

You don't need gamespy though IIRC.

[Fve Crathva]

I don't use Gamespy. You have to know the address (domain name or IP address) and port (usually 5121) to connect to though, and click on the Direct Connect button. When you do that, it will remember the addresses and put them up by themselves if you cancel the Gamespy load. Or, you can put them in your favourites. Or, some places have icons and software that can bypass the Gamespy stage altogether and log directly on to the servers (I'm thinking of Avlis here, and there might be others).
