>backstabs you in the wailing death>backstabs you in hordes of the underdark is she fixable?
>>737660159Why the fuck is NWN 1 so comfyI don't get itI've done multiple characters beforeRogue with scouting ahead (this was actually my first one when I was like 12 when it came out) with Daelan for melee backup and spent like 12 hours in chapter one just looting the shit out of everythingRanger was funDruid into shifter was op and funCleric was funWizard was funThen PRC mod warlock was funI still have no idea why it's just funExcept that ambush on level 1 of the dungeon in hotu - fuck those duregr or whatever it is. That room always determines if my builkd is shit or not
>>737660403I don't know how to play spell casters in this game, they feel very weak. I always default to melee. Maybe it's a skill issue but the early game is ass cheeks.
>>737660159Fenthick, too.
>>737660572I'm assuming you mean wizard/sorc or druid/cleric and not ranger/paladin/bard since they're really casters, more hybridsSorc is a noob trap. Skip it.Cleric/Druid are mostly melee with buffs/debuffs/summons but you can technically play threm as blaster casters around level 9 when they get level 5 spells but it's a painWizards are the casters you want. Get a bow/crossbow/sling and a melee (daelan or grimgaw) henchman and pick either the pixie familiar for lockpicking (doesn't matter really) or else panther. Take summon creature 1/2 and that's it.You can take shit like magic missile at level 1, combust at level 2 (spell levels, not char level) but it's kinda shit early on outside of a few enemies like minibosses like the gang leader in the prison area how has the key but most times your summon/henchman/familiar and ranged weapon is doing the fighting early onYou also rest a lot as a wizard - either get a mod that gives you faster resting or else just make one yourself
>>737660159never winter is a strange game. Works when I install it but the next day the game crashes on launch every time
I dunno is a Good character an 'fix' her, but wasn't the 'Evil' ending basically>she's cool with having threesomes with the hot dark elf chick>she's forever young and your loyal cumsock until the day you die as you ravage the multiplanes togetherI'm afraid only evil characters can 'fix' her, maybe!
>>737661052I see. Honestly, sounds like too much micromanaging for my taste. I prefer to let the henchmen do the casting. I've started Darkness over Daggerford as a wizard recently and got my shit rocked in the very first encounter kek
>>737661553both sorc and wizard are op to high heaven. never winter lets you sit your ass down and get all your spells back whenever you feel like it.
>>737661390>>she's cool with having threesomes with the hot dark elf chickoh man, if only I knew that when I played it
>>737661553So the biggest problem with NWN and DND casting in general is that direct damage spells aren't that good until high levels but even then it's often better to throw haste on your fightrer than use a fireball on a group of low level kobolds
>>737660159fixable? working as intended
>>737660572>I don't know how to play spell casters in this game, they feel very weak.make a druid or cleric if you want to be a literal eldritch hypergod among mortalsdruids can turn into crazy bullshit that kills everything or cast giant supernova fuckoff nukes, and clerics can either be the most ridiculous 'blow up the screen' casters in the game or toggle into being one of the best melee combatants with their insane buffs like greater invis, haste and divine power completely buttfucking the entire gamewiz and sorc are a meme unless you're doing red dragon/pale lord meta hybrids, idk what that other anon is on about
>>737660159she works for me
>>737662019Problem is that druids/clerics don't get into blasting until around level 5 spells at bestEarly on they're just basic black bitch fighters with some buffs
>>737663098animal domain cleric can just shitblast the entire game with level-jumped summons, then there's bull's strength and aid, magic weapon, prayer, divine favor, etc they even get hammer of the gods at rank 4 to just stunlock entire roomshttps://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Domainseriously look at this shit, clerics are insane and should never struggle
>>737663332Which are just bufffs and a summonAnon, I'm not saying they're not good spell casters - they're brilliant melee with spells. They're just shit blasters until midgameI've played almost all classes from vanilla to sou and then onto HOTU with the exception of a few prestiege classes to max level
>>737663425>They're just shit blasters until midgame??? just go sun+magic and you're wizard-tier with rank 2 searing light access and eventual ice storm>just bufffs and a summon"it's just a pet that can solo the entire first act and a buff that gives you enough AB to hit everything 5 levels within your character range"like. ok? why downplay that
>>737660403>Druid into shifter was opwas it really? shit does fuck all and there's only 2 OP shapes fuck off late game at level 35 or something
>>737663721So you're missing the point>>737663996I used t he shifter rod mod to merge more equipment but evne without it,m the minotaur was basically a mid level fighter, gargoyle had dr of I think 15/1, bnaslisk had the petrification stare, kobold had hide in plain sight too which is fucking retarded
>>737662019>idk what that other anon is on aboutD&D full casters are always top tier anon, even the sub par sorcerer. palemaster and red dragon are the actual memes. as an arcane caster all you need to do is cast isaac's, firebrand and bigby's with a side of stinking clound and there's literally no game because you can rest after any encounter.
>has a whole crisis of faith over the death of her lover>becomes a blackguard >wages war on Neverwinter over it>HotU>"oh yeah i never loved him actually lol"
>>737664281>there's literally no game because you can rest after any encounter.doing this with stupid shit like epic warding was always pretty funnyfelt like using a cheat toggle
>>737664360>"oh yeah i never loved him actually lol"that's where you're supposed to come into play and snatch her away...
>>737664617she's a ghost nigga how am i gonna plap her
>>737664819Ghost plap, naturally
Love Linu
I have arcane archer that deals shit tons of damage but in that frozen hell realm towards the end of the game I can't get past a certain point where I enter some zone and tons of devil something keep spawning. Too many of them they just overwhelm. Am I supposed to do something to get past them or what?
>>737660403Top mood. There’s no comic relief characters, there’s no scripted interruptions, there’s no cinematic dialogue, the graphics don’t look like play doh, the UI doesn’t look like a fisher price toy, the lighting is very subdued and natural, it’s a gem of a game. A shame the graphics are so dated because with that module editor with better graphics it would still be a top tier game
>>737665887trying a psion now
>>737665887>There’s no comic relief characters,fuck off deekin
>>737660159>today I learned the NWN 1 campaign is called "the wailing death"people only ever seem to call the expansions by their name
how viable is monk? I liked how grimgnaw always wrecked shit as my companion and thought that playing as a monk might be coolI never played a mage class I never knew how to cast spells lol
>>737660159I messed up the romance with the hot drow assassin so I had to settle for her.Feels bad>>737660403I know right. Even though I only started playing nwn a couple years ago it feels very comfy and nostalgic for me. A big thing for me is the music and ambience. I love the little bits of chapter in the background when your in an inn or busy marketplace, feels really immersive.
>>737668102Deekin was a real homie, best follower ever
>>737668723probably the strongest pure melee class but it's a little rough getting 'naked guy that punches' off the ground for the first few levelsyou can go dual kama or just punch everything's head off if you find nice glovesflurry of blows + improved knockdown spam turns you into ip maneventually their natural spell resist becomes so high that you can just pretend magic doesn't exist
>>737668723Fighter/Monk dual wielding kama is crazy.
>>737668723>nwn1not even remotely, monk is dogwater at low levels>shadows of undrentidebarely>hordes of the underdarkviable but youll still want to kill yourself
>>737660403>comfyMusic and artwork
>>737660159She's a companion and paladin/blackguard?
>>737670591not a companion, but a central story character
>>737670628Damn. Is she skippable? How could I forget?
>>737660159The best way to fix her is to play Aribeth's Redemption and marry her. No more betrayal and she's not a ghost.
She is teased in Doom of the Icewind Dale. Have you guys played it? It ends in a massive cliffhanger.
>>737670715only skippable if you're not paying any attention whatsoever. she shows up during an at the end of the tutorial, at the beginning and ends of each of the acts in one form or another
what's the point of a paladin? he seems sucky
>>737671293in 3.5e? immunity to fear (plus +4 bonus against fear saving throws to all allies), immunity to all diseases mundane or magical, some spot healing, great divnie spells like divine favor, all while still having full BAB like a fighter
Can I play NWN1 on 4K with proper UI scaling?
>>737671406yes
>>737671293>full BAB>very nice selection of self buffing spells>access to taunt skill>Divine Grace / Divine Might / Divine Shield are all extremely good if you can come up with a decent CHA score>and free fear and disease immunities as the cherry on topDunno what you're on, paladin is great. Their only real downside is wanting too many stats at the same time.
>>737671848>the eternal paladin struggle of MAD (multi attribute dependency)just cant escape from this shit i swear
>>737671293STD immunity
>>737671935It's not that bad unless you're trying to make a DEX paladin like an absolute madman. Just do this. 10 con won't kill you on a d10 HD class.
>>737672205>10 conyoure just asking to be one shot, d10 hd or no
>>737670995>they're still releasing modules for NWN 24 years laterAurora toolset is a gift to mankind.
>>737673526>adwr p2 EE remake never everLife is simply unfair
>>737660403For me it's the animations and choregraphed animation system. I just love watching my little dudes bob and weave and have a proper little fight vs every other RPG where muppets just wail on each other like a pair of windmilling toddlers.Also I find in general, especially relative to the infinite engine games, there's just a lot more clarity to gameplay.I understand where my characters can move in the environment (IE games look amazing, but they're shit to navigate with fucky playable spaces at times), I can see what is going on during fights, where everyone is, what they're doing, what my enemies are doing etc, fights aren't just a massive moshpit of pixels. Like i'm playing Icewindale at the moment, great game (heartily recommend the voiced NPC party members mod if you've never tried them before), but some of the bigger fights, expecially against hordes of trolls where you need to be micro-ing like crazy to burn them whilst they're incapacitated are a nightmare in the IE engine, where is NWN is just very functional in everything it does, even if it is ugly as fuck.
>>737670995I'm sorry to chud out but I remember buying this module in GoG, very close to the beginning after the noble guy treats the black guy like a primitive and (you) wokescold him for being a raciss and get 'yasssss slay you're such a good ally' NPC responses, my eyes almost rolled out of my head. Closed and refunded. I can handle the terrible ESL dialogue of other modules, but not that.
any new PRC update?
>>737671134Just looked it up, she's a henchman. Idk, don't remember her at all. Maybe I skipped everything of her forced dialogue bc I didn't like the idea of fanservice.
>>737671402Played V.paladin in bg3, heck, you get a caster and a fighter with decent immunities.
>>737674985Is that the new one? Sad! Not playing this filth. Thx for the heads up.
>>737670591She's a companion in the DLC where you can romance her and get a threesome ending with the hot drow assassin companion
>>737661052Sorc is insanely powerful with metamagic if you actually read spell descriptions and are smart enough to limit the number of damage spells you take for good defensive and control spells. Even if you're retarded NWN1 lets you swap spells out every level instead of whatever PnP's restriction that got put into NWN2 was.
>>737661826I mean haste and quickspell work together in NWN1 and you can get damage spells that cannot be resisted and have no save like magic missile, and greater and lesser missile storm, and ice storm which scales all the way to max level. Combined with empower and maximize spell to cover levels, as well as time stop later on, you can absolutely shit out damage as a wizard or sorc.
>>737660656Her telling you she never actually loved him was so funny to me oh my godLiterally cucked from beyond the grave
