NWN2....
<drool>
Been playing the first one, running thru a bunch of modules with my buddy Knob, lotta fun.
Tried a couple open to the public servers... ugh... one allowed you at startup to select from +20 AC armor/robes and +20 weapons... maybe it was an uber-tough world but I prefer to work for my magic/levels... didn't go any farther.

Actually just picked Up NWN diamond today (like I'm going to search through all those CD's to find everything)
$20 Canadian got me, well everything published and a couple of modules.

Are there actually persistent world's set up? Or is it run more as a get some peeps together and run through some adventures deal?

[Capt_Bearslayer_XC]

Sweet... since I have a machine that can run it...

Is some one willing to put up a host for the first NWN?

I think I could go for that and would splurge on a  copy.

If it gets going, let me know....

BTW, my favorite character ended as a 12th level/5th level Thief/Illusionist Gray Elf named Lingus.

Lingus the Cunning.

...

Lingus the Cunning.

I don't get it...

[Capt_Bearslayer_XC]

Is it over your head?




Cunninglingus.... Lingus the Cunning.... get it?


As a 6th grader (when I started the character), I was quite proud of my wit...

BTW- what exactly does a DM do in NWN? (only played SP) seems he would set up the adventure then... ???

Well DM duties depend on what sort of server you are running, on hardcore RP servers DM's are quite busy people as they are usually constantly running RP quests for the playerbase. As the server I DM on is a mixture of RP/action i run both large and small scale RP events plus i run some action events as well.

Other duties i do as a DM is enforce the rules that are on the server, help players if they require assistance, server issues such as fixing bugs, rebooting the server etc. I am starting to look into the more devlopment side of the game as well, starting to learn more about creating areas. implementing new items etc.

So DM duties can vary depending on the server type.

When I was lead admin on Ace's World, I played the adjudicator role.  We actually made a whole DM area with offices, a large court room, and waiting areas.  Most of my online time was spent hearing player complaints in that court room as well as punishing those who broke server rules.

I made some beautiful areas.  We were running a Lord of the Rings mod, so I put together the Timeless Hall of Ilúvatar.  Might have been the best looking area in the module.  It was set in the void (using the caverns tileset) with fireflies for stars.  I had this long bridge that ran out to a 3x3 island of stone, which was the only ground in the void itself.  Put a tower with very tall doors in the middle of that.  Right in front of the tower, I had four small trees, one for each season, since it was the Timeless Void.  It was a stunning site, since to get to it, you had to find the correct transition in a 3x3 grid of completely black areas that would be infinite loop if you didn't find it.

Now I want to play NWN again LOL.

Some of the best admin work you've done.

I doubt you remember ..  but I built a very good charactor .. and there were a couple of evening several of us hooked up...   you messed  with one of the tougher levels ...   it took nearly 15 minutes to beat a couple of really nasty critters ...  some of the best fun I've ever had on ANY NWN server.

BTW...  I found that charactor in an archived server somewhere.  If I can get DSL soon ..  I will be getting those updated packs  (what ever they were called ) ...  and I'll be back at Aces (if it's still there).

The only thing I personally stay away from are those that rely too much on "demonology".  (And there are a few out there like that)

Is it over your head?




Cunninglingus.... Lingus the Cunning.... get it?

No...

Sorry- was just remembering a pleyr we had (and unforunately he was much older than 6th grade..)
who always played an elven mage/thie and used the same name..

I always played a fighter/warrior until the party hit about lvl 12-14 when he always
"unfortunately" died and I rerolled a mage..

Ahh  good times..

The only mage I ever played was 'inherited' from a guy who left town...

20th level MU with psionics (1 major & 2 minor disciplines from 2nd addition before it became a class unto itself).  He stood toe to toe once fighting with Orcus before I realized I could just kill the clerics summoning him and he would go away in the Hill Giant campaign series.

Personally, it was almost always Elven thieves and Dwarven War Clerics.

I was referring to a certain post you made a week or so back....

And thanks, I was about to start biting my nails off during that game....  The Steelers did not look good and Big Ben is hurting....

[Dfly]

what is NWN?  long term please.

[Riskyllama]

NeverWinterNights Its, correct me if I'm wrong, a d20 based RPG/DnD type game that is possible of single and multiplayer scenarios.

NeverWinterNights Its, correct me if I'm wrong, a d20 based RPG/DnD type game that is possible of single and multiplayer scenarios.

More or less
It's an older CRPG  (3 years old maybe?) that was based off of DND ruleset
It was designed as a single player game, but included the ability to set up a game online and run
some people through an adventure.

I don't know if it's a persistent world set up or not.
if it is I've been missing out..

NWN2 is essentially the same game with much better graphics.
The game engine (from what I've heard) while improved, is supposed to be kept largely intact.

[likkerpig]

There are still persistant servers out there Hexx, but you have to try a few (or at least I did) before you find one that suits you.
Geez, I bought the platinum edition, came with the original game, Shadows of Unrintide and Hordes of the Underdark. What is in the diamond edition?

[FPF-DieHard]

I feel so old, my pen-and-paper group started meeting again once a week.  Still more fun than any video game.

[OlBuzzard]

I feel so old

tell me about it ...

here lately I feel about as usless as tits on a boar hog !

[Dfly]

you must be old if you remember tits on a boar hog, cause I remember them too
