Neverwinter Nights - The People's Republic

Depends on whether you want to waste your time waiting really.

[duke o' york]

Or tell me when you want to play. I'm still level 5 at the moment and don't know what levels you're playing at, but if Spike doesn't mind then I could perhaps use one of his characters at level 20 or 30 or whatever they are.
Jam, the annoying thing about your nerf is that you still get 5 exp for things that you've killed, without anyone else helping.

[DrSpike]

The xp system in NWN is dreadful. Just experiment and find stuff you can easily kill that gives more. 5 xp is silly.

And the characters are yours now. Try out my ueber builds. The Sorceress is especially ueber. In later levels I don't think anything approaches the power of a sorceror/sorceress, definitely not a warrior, even with devastating critical.

Wail of the banshee/weirding/massive dmg spells like Isaacs ftw.

Plus my sorc has ludicrous AC because of abusing the casting feats you can get later. Spells like premonition and epic mage armour mean you are very hard to kill too.

[duke o' york]

Well nettle burglars give you around 300 a shot, and aren't that tough if you can heal yourself/drink tea. But I'd definitely prefer to adventure to improve, rather than standing in a corner massacring fairies.

[DrSpike]

I massacred fairies until I could venture North without dying a lot.

[duke o' york]

Well I advanced to level 3 by killing fairies, but have been wandering all over the place with small parties recently. Today we went back to Nulbton to take on the insane chickens, but the long way round via the Badlands and Worselands.
I needed to go back to the Grotto anyway, to move the first quest a long a bit further, but couldn't work out how until I was ambushed by three insane leopards and respawned in the Gypsy Camp.

Folderol is teh w00t, and I only wish I didn't have to go back to college next week. That means only Mondays and Wednesdays are available for weeknight playing.

Now level 7, and having loads of fun.

those who gain levels on fairies are faires.

[duke o' york]

And those who remain cowering on the boat, stuck at level 1, are troglodytes.

[Jamski]

Duck, are you able to Folderol on weekends?

[duke o' york]

Yes, usually, depending on the televised footie.
I'm out at a wedding tomorrow night, but should be in on Saturday night, and then most of Sunday too.
Mind you, bloody Owen means I've now got a reason to watch England matches. I thought we'd get rid of Jenas, and that would be that, but no.

[duke o' york]

I'm dying to play now, but I'm drunk, so I don't think it's the best idea.

Anybody know anything about a new NWN expansion?

Supposedly called "Kingmaker" which sounds a little like one of those premium module thingummies.

It retails for ~ $30 Aus though so it's a little pricey if it's only the one (and it's on a dvd rather than a cd) but the blurb bit doesn't say anything about a compilation of any sort ...

[Dis]

a dvd? where did you see that?

The only thing it should be on is the internet (for download). It doesn't sound like a legit copy (and overpriced at that). I'm not sure what your conversion rate is. But you should be paying less than $10 U.S. for it.

oh, and here's a link.
