![]() Means you need to start Lawful Neutral, though you can easily climb (or cheat) into any alignment you desire. And dip Shadowdancer since Hide in Plain Sight is broken too. Btw, Druid is pretty nuts in NWN2 only thing is, you need that 1-level Monk dip to get good AC. Later on, the normal PnP battlefield control stuff coupled with Dragonslayers (that is, spells you use against guys will all high saves + immunities) like Harm, Isaac's Missile Storm and company ensure that no opponent truly challenges you. It's much easier to handle some of the tough fights as a caster type particularly certain big opponents who squash you if you try to melee them. Early on, Sleep is still the best spell ever and all casters but Clerics have it. I'm pretty sure I could do a 1-character solo with every class, resting only once per arena (man, the rest-system really sucks). That's because the game is really easy though. Since magic items and gear litter the ground like grass.And you can even make your own later on when you have enough ranks in the skills.įighters and Monks can literally walk through the game. The characters with the easiest time of the entire game are Lawful Good Beaters. It's the same deal with the Original Neverwinter Nights I've had plenty of battles, but most of them have been against various unpleasant forms of wildlife or undead, making it one of the few RPGs where I don't play a mass murderer. Also the load times aren't as long as in NWN, there aren't as many of them, the game looks damn good, and although the story's nothing special it's at least both enthusiastic and cheerful.Īnd in a really rare turn of events at least probably halfway through the game, I've barely had to kill any humans. It doles out rewards more gradually and evenly, and the character building is, at least to me, much more intuitive. It's not based on D&D, but I actually think the Dark Eye system works better for a cRPG than D&D does. For your computerized tabletop RPG needs I recommend Drakensang: The Dark Eye. I highly suggest not playing NWN 2 any more than absolutely required by masked men holding your loved ones at gunpoint. There are nice aspects of the game, and I don't remember it entirely unfondly, but I wouldn't actually recommend it to anyone. Traveling's a hassle, party management's a bore. ![]() The story is occasionally interesting, but more often vibrantly stupid and insulting. This game alternates between mildly entertaining and wildly unfair combats, with the worst ones being a house full of rogues (that, whenever you re-load, instantly teleport into flanking position while invisible) and the stupendously impossible final boss. You haven't even gotten to the worst parts yet. Hint: Neverwinter Nights 2 is a polished turd. ![]() They also try to synergize bonus to AC while not wearing armor from either Duelist or Invisiblade. It is usually mixed in with other classes to take advantage of Flurry of blows and gaining extra offhand attacks from perfect 2wf. So by level 30 a warlock not only outdamages other arcane casters, he can do so every round.ĭoes this mean the Monk is a viable character option? Epic spells in NWN2 are a pale broken shadow of their world altering PnP counterpart (because I would really like to have mustered a chain summoned Solar army before attacking the enemy stronghold).Īnd besides the brokenly powerful Bigby's hand, most non-epic spells lack the battlefield control abilities of batman wizard, forcing them to rely on damage spells that suffer from level cap. ![]() Other arcane casters don't get as much in comparison. Their blast damage dice increases very rapidly as they can buy improved eldritch blast with their epic feats, on top of normal level progression AND eldritch mastery (+50% to all blast damage). Warlocks only get comparatively better at Epic levels. In PnP, Warlocks get progressively less useful at higher levels, rather than the PC version getting better, as you say. However, your comment about Warlocks getting better confuses me. People tend to neglect that last phrase but it can save your hiney when some bizarre unexpected bug or save corruption occurs. And use it.Īctually, the first rule is: Save early, save often, use different slots. The old Divine Warlock ((29),Clr(1)) writeup might interest you.įirst rule of RPGs, save, save, save, then save again. ![]()
