This game is a masterpiece for bring DnD RPG campaigns to the computer with the use of modules (2024)

It isn't
The enitre concept was stupid as frick
>design a module making game
>so this is played online, in an era when most people are still on dial up at best
>oooh so uh... how we sell it?
>oh shieeet homie... uh uwu um frick yeah! A sh*tty bare bones campaign

As much as I like it with actual single player modules, the core concept it was meant to sell is utter sh*t

If NWN SP had full party control it'd be fricking perfect honestly.

As it is it's still fricking amazing for MP, persistent worlds are becoming more popular as well as everyone's getting sick of how sh*t MMO's are.

the low int dialogue in the main campaign was kino

d&d is cool on paper (literally). it doesnt translate very well into video games. in my opinion all those old rpg games are super boring and overly complicated for no reason. baldurs gates, icewind dales, fallouts, and especially nwn, etc, are all extremely boring games to play. i feel like most people who praise old crpgs are people who fool themselves into thinking they like them but have never actually played them (or havent played them for more than a few hours) and only like the idea of them. you know who you are

thats why i love dragon age origins. it borrowed elements from all those boring games and simplified most of the mechanics and added cinematics and orchestrated music to it. da1 is a legendary game that will never be matched

It's okay. It had alot of potential but never did it for me. I liked the module making idea...at that time I was more into making content for the PnP game. I never finished the single player game and just lost interest in NWN. I've got it and the Baldur Gate games on an old laptop. I've tried playing it a few times and just can get into it like BG.

I'll lie and say I'm inspired to give it another try. I won't any time soon ...actually in a MW4 phase at the moment.

Has anyone tried Solasta? Is it a good alternative to NWN or at the very least worth checking out?

Best I can tell it's basically an Indie NWN, 5.1 ruleset, focus on MP and custom content.

How the frick do I beat J'Nah in the Kobold Caves in Shadows of Undrentide?

There were some tough fights in the original campaign, but I didn't run into roadblocks I couldn't use potions or something else to get through, but the J'Nah fight, even with the kobolds help is just fricking me endlessly no matter what I try.

today I will remind them

>Absolutely love all the custom campaigns and adventures available for NWN
>Still feel like NWN is the sloppiest and one of the worst implementations of D&D, even if you consider NWNEE who has added ability to order your henchmen around
It's really weird. The general act of playing NWN is worse than almost any other RPG but I still go on wild tears playing the fricker after all this time I wish there was a more modern equivalent, the closest is probably Solasta and that's more just a dungeon creator and not for making whole campaigns

Also NWN2 is sh*t and I cannot stand playing it and it should be shunned at every possible opportunity.

I fricking love how 3D (dumb way to put it I know) and how thoroughly animated Neverwinter Nights is.

Every aspect is animated, hits, misses, cleaves, sidesteps, dodges, all the spells, the movement, everything feels really solid vs something like baldur's gate where it's just paper dolls kinda wailing on each other awkwardly.

Not sure how but they completely fricked up the animation system in NWN2 but they did.

I never played any fan made modules, I never played multiplayer, I never will, I enjoyed the original campaign, the OC henchmen are well written and I will play it again.

20/20 monk rogue dex-stacking busts this game wide open.
I mean, almost any level 40 busts the game wide open.
But 20/20 monk rogue stacking dex is something special. You want epic dodge & 5/5 self concealment. Couple this with monk / rogue high AC (from DEX and WIS), rogue high skill points, monk high spell resist, monk immunities, rogue stealth, lockpicking, monk movement speed, unarmed damage, sneak attack from rogue, and some other feats like defensive roll and improved evasion, and I'm sure there's some others I'm not mentioning -- it is an unkillable Dragonball Z-tier Goku build. It's insane. Nothing hits you. You survive everything. Resist everything. Dodge everything. And you do pretty good damage, too, considering that dex is gonna be your main stat. I think you can get up to about 28-30 STR with this build with end-game items and something like 40+ DEX.
Shout-outs also to monk kama weapon masters. 10 attacks per round baby wooo

NWN 2 has some pretty fun builds you can do as well, but there the max level is 30 BUT you can cross-class four times, so it kinda evens a little but not really.
Swashbuckler / DEX / STR / INT with some fighter levels and some other class, can't remember but it basically turns out you can make your weapon damage scale with both INT and STR at the same time, and also use DEX as a hit modifier; it's like several things come together and it just works and you can get a free +2d6 flat damage modifier if you get 10 levels of duelist as well.

Share your dumb builds

did you know there's a full MMO built in the NWN engine? It's been running for 20 years and it was really good back when i played it. Has massive amounts of custom classes, hundreds of custom races and legendary (40-60) and paragon (60-80) levels.

I bought this game thinking it would be a great online rpg.

My pc couldn’t handle the game because the pc was underpowered.

The end…?

post you're are toons

NWN 1 absolutely and utterly mogs NWN 2.

The graphics were a downgrade in terms of ludokino sovl.

>spiderman pointing at himself.jpg

without a doubt the best game ever made

Thinking of rolling a new char on Arelith.

A philosopher.
I'm thinking either Rock Gnome or Human.
