Well, I beat it.

I cheated on the final fight, in a way. There are a few tough enemies with the main boss, but I lured them away and killed them individually. But they were smoking my ass otherwise, so oh well. When it came down to fighting the final boss, he/she/it wasn't all that tough.

Haha, just for fun I took my character through one of the expansion campaigns and slaughtered everything (including friendly people) easily. Then I quit that.

I'm wondering if my level 16 character will be balanced if I try to go through the game on the hardest settings.. I have 30 minutes before I have to leave for school, so I'm going to try it out.

iago · « **Reply #2 on:** November 01, 2005, 01:21:27 pm »

Nah, way too easy.

I wish there was still some difficult gameplay left for my main character, but I'm not sure that there is :-/

You'll stoop low enough to play NWN, but not WoW?

* Blaze sighs *

iago · « **Reply #4 on:** November 01, 2005, 07:29:04 pm »

Absolutely.

With NWN, I create a character, play for a couple weeks, beat the game, and I'm done. The game ends, I'm happy, the game is happy, and life is good.

I just started Act 3, and I'm about level 12.

Super_X · « **Reply #6 on:** November 01, 2005, 09:40:20 pm »

In Diablo 2, it's normaly level 12-18 to beat act 1, 21-25 to beat act 2, 30 til about act 5, then 40~ should do you well 'til the end of the game, what are the levels like in Neverwinter Nights?

iago · « **Reply #7 on:** November 01, 2005, 10:28:20 pm »

Levels are the same as in D&D. Levels 1-5 are weakish, level 10-12 are getting pretty good, level 15+ are pretty awesome, 20+ are Godly. I could kill dragons fairly easily at leve 15. I also beat the boss of the game pretty easily at level 15.

And 12-18 for act 1? That's insane. Except the first time I played, I don't think I ever waited till after level 12. I remember beating act 1 at level 6, act 2 at level 11, and act 3 at level 16 once. That was back in the days before the expansion. I had unique items (which, at the time, could be used at level 1) that gave me +6 to all skills (could have had +8 but I could never find SoJ's). I was a necro, which meant at level 1 I had 7 skeletons, level 2 I had 7 powerful skeletons, and level 6 I had 7 skeletons + 7 skeleton mages. My friend played a palidan, and had enhancements to his Thorns skill, so all 14 of my skeletons and my golem had thorns. That made the game extremely easy :-)

As one of my friends, Cody of Save and Exit has said, Easy PK.

But not for single player...
Currently I pretty much do Act 1 until 11 then rush Act 2 to Act 5. Level in Act 2 until 20. Cow. Baal until you're bored.

The only time I've ever played public games was with the intention of PK'ing. We had some fun with that, back in the day. It's a great rush doing a hardcore PK when you're level 30 or so going up against somebody of equal strength.

Worked fine for single player before LoD. Just don't die and lose all your stuff. The trick was, before LoD, any level could use uniques, so when your hardcore character died, your next character would inherit all his best items, and would kick ass much faster; of course, that's assuming you're playing with a friend and have corpse loot on, which I almost always did. The game was much more fun back then, I've come to realize.

Well, we used to do 90's PKing against anybody who'll join. We had made custom hacks for it too, which was fun. Untill 1.11 came and killed hammerdins. $:-\$

I've been playing Shadows of the Untertide. I'm a level 5 druid, and I plan to level up as a "Shifter". I believe that I now have the prereqs, so next level I should be able to multiclass :-)

Newby · « **Reply #14 on:** November 06, 2005, 09:55:23 pm »

Bumpage.

I'm in act 3; I just solved the trial && got the snow globe for the bitch.

I'm level 12.

Sidoh · « **Reply #15 on:** November 06, 2005, 10:00:41 pm »

There's a kid in my school who's really into this game. Every time we get on the subject of games (which is nearly every conversation I have with him), he starts talking about Neverwinter Nights.

iago · « **Reply #16 on:** November 07, 2005, 02:02:45 am »

I'm up to level 5 / 5 with my Druid / Shifter. I can shift into 5 kinds of little dragons (wyrmlings), gargoyle, minotaur, harpy, manticore, basilisk, and drider. At level 10 I will be able to change into a medusa, huge dire tiger, or mindflayer. I'm looking forward to that

Joe · « **Reply #17 on:** November 07, 2005, 06:16:58 pm »

Does this game have some sort of copy protection (that can't be easily defeated)? Does it have some sort of online gaming? And is anyone willing to mail me a copy?

=)

It has online protection, but other then that, crack.exe is your horse that'll take you on a ride.

iago · « **Reply #19 on:** November 07, 2005, 07:32:20 pm »

We copied it just fine; however, it requires a valid CDKey for any multiplayer

Newby · « **Reply #20 on:** November 07, 2005, 08:14:32 pm »

Hehehehe.

My figher fucking rapes everything.

Him and my monk.

On a side note, I hate you Ron. I want to shapeshift!

iago · « **Reply #21 on:** November 07, 2005, 10:01:10 pm »

I was reading a guide about Shifters. Apparently, on level 12 you should take a Monk level. I wish I'd known that, I would have taken Lawful alignment. I'm considering using a character editor to make myself lawful, just so I can build this properly. I'm not sure if that's moral or not, though :-/

Newby · « **Reply #22 on:** November 09, 2005, 10:02:47 pm »

Hmm...

iago, that giant guardian white dragon that you had to run out of the cave to fight.... how many times did you rest fighting him?

I ran in, whooped the living fuck out of him (my teammate got 70 damage done to him; that's all), and got the Word of Power from the snowglobe!

Please tell me that's the huge badass dragon you are talking about. If it is, I'm set.

iago · « **Reply #23 on:** November 09, 2005, 11:30:47 pm »

I don't remember which dragon you're talking about. You have to fight many dragons in the game, and most of them are pretty easy.

The only one I had trouble with is an "ancient red dragon". Klauth, I believe. He has a word of power stashed in his lair, and he lives with a bunch of fire giants (which hurt me like hell; I had no fire resistance).

In the last act, you have to fight 2 dragons are once. That's one of the tougher fights I did, but it went pretty well.

Newby · « **Reply #24 on:** November 09, 2005, 11:55:15 pm »

Ah. I fought some "guardian white dragon" inside the snow globe.

iago · « **Reply #25 on:** November 10, 2005, 12:38:31 am »

Oh, that thing. I don't think I had to rest at all, but I seem to remember him damaging me a lot. I think he killed Tomi Undergallows, iirc. Once I had the amulet thing, anyway, it was easy.

Newby · « **Reply #26 on:** November 13, 2005, 11:39:13 am »

Well, I'm up against the two corrupted dragons.

I guess I won't be getting much farther!

If you find a CDKey, and intend to play on Linux, you can download everything you need. It's only 2.5gb. ha!

Nope. I give up. If I wear my mind-affecting-immunity armor, I only have an AC of 19, and they utterly slaughter me and my monk.

If I wear my red dragon armor (from killing that dragon (I forgot to poison him, it was hard as hell) in act 3) + shield + sword, I run in fear like mad. But I have an AC of 32.

Potion of Clarity = immunity to mind-affecting spells. I use it all the time on my Druid.

My Palidan, from day 1, had immunity to mind spells (I forget why), so he's never had fear from anything

I'll check if I have any of those next time I play!
