Some of my friends and I are going to try to get hold of it by the end of term, so we can have a crack at it MP over Christmas. I played some BG2 Friday into Saturday, MP (6-strong party - Crusader, Fighter, Swashbuckler, Cleric, Archer, Mage (me)), and it was serious fun!

Yeah, I noticed. I did have plans for this weekend but I've been buzy puttin' down prison escapes, zombie attacks and pirate rampages. Oh, what's a lone barbarian to do?

Two of my favorite parts so far:
(1) getting into a drinking contest
(2) talking to a guard who has strick orders not to let anyone by who doesn't have the password, sayin' "ah come on, let me by," and him replying "heck, why not?"

I love the brain-eating monster
But I hate dire spiders

I finally have made it to Chapter 3, but my life has been calling, so I don't know if I will ever have time to finish it. I have a 15th level arcane magic user. These RPG's are just so involved and too long.

Sure, Morrowind's better SP. But I'm taking to BG2 well as well - playing the SP quest on that in between MW. For MP, I can see NWN kicking some serious rear-end.

Idle thought: I wonder what happens if I let Imoen die before leaving that first underground bit in BG2...

I was playing it.

I'm taking a break. good game, but still a little to barren for my tastes.

There are some good modules I want to try. One of them is underworld or something.

I've completed the SP game twice and played quite a number of MP scenarios too. Its an excellent first attempt at true multiplayer AD&D but it needs more content to make it truly shine. The amateur mods to improve henchmen, monster AI etc are already making a difference. What we need now is for an official expansion to bring in a lot more spells and skills (and no doubt many players would now like to see lvl 21+ support too).

Actually she can't die in the first bit. The (irremovable) belt she currently wears prevents it. If she is in a situation where she would ordinarily be "killed", the character panics and runs - effectively leaving the party until they exit the dungeon.

Incidentally, if you enjoy mods TDD and a few other BG2 mods are pretty good.

I've finished it as well. I thought is was great.

As Grumbold said, an expansion will truely make it shine, but there's a lot of very good stuff in already. And playing it MP is an absolute blast. I was in an 5 vs 5 game a couple of days ago and can't recall last time I had this much fun.

Anyone have good modules (SP or MP) to recommend?

oh my...i went to the mall today, and i saw NWN lying there, it costs 59 euros
Civ3 when it came out costed 45 euro, i don't think any pc game (except for MS flight sim maybe) has ever cost this much.

I tihnk i'll wait a bit, hoping the price will come down soon, or maybe even get it bundled with an expansion pack

Suffering from ads?

The game is quite high priced because if you make the most of it you get a lot out of the box. If you only plan to do the single player campaign and maybe download a scenario or two its not worth it. If you get fully into the multiplayer or even start building your own module you see why it is priced that bit higher. Think of it like a MMORPG you don't have to pay monthly for

Ok, this is bugging me; what's up with the *coup de grace* hit? I've gotten it twice, and when I looked at the text, it said 'automatic hit' (and it killed the nasties in question). anyone know?

Coup de Grace is a D&D rule basically refering to situations where you can just kill somebody without any trouble. It's like the last hit in a fight, where the enemy is unconscious or whatever, and you just slice his head off.

At least, that's how I always interpreted it. You usually get it when they're asleep or stunned or something.

Coup de Grace is French for mercy kill. Get yourself a weapon which induces sleep and you'll be mercy killing all over the place...

I haven't played it much, which is kind of strange considering how much I was looking forward to it... though not so strange when you consider what a crummy RPG the single player module is.

But I'll probably be playing alot of it soon, since ALPHA has just recently gone into it's first beta phase... it's going to be in competition for my attention with dark age of camelot, though.

WEll, I have both as well. But I only started up NWN and played for 30 minutes to an hour. I have played Morrowind much longer. I will purchase morrowind, I do not know if I will do so for NWN (I will need people to play with I think).

I started with MW, but NWN has taken over completely. First, I'm not an obsessive PRGer, so I appreciate that Bioware took out a lot of stuff that's only irritating, IMHO, such as getting tired when running or having to constantly fix your gear to keep it shiny. Realistic, yes, fun, no. And then I think the NWN interface really shines. Finally, I have a MP group going in NWN and we're having an absolute blast playing the game. NWN MP is tremendous fun.

yes it is. I played the original campaign in multiplayer (with one other person). The original campaign is a little dry but playing cooperatively makes up for that. Although it may have been a little easy. We notched the difficulty up to the highest setting and still no serious challenge.

You played the Bioware campaign MP? That can't have been much of a challenge - I really am no hardcore RPG player and made it thru' on the highest difficulty on my own without ever hiring a henchman.

Try to get a few reliable players together - I play 5 vs 5 MP games right now, and the fun level is simply insane.

I do think some of it is scaled by your average level (possibley averaged with the 2 players). I'm not sure.

But it was still pretty easy. Occasionaly we died, but not very often.

You're lucky, Moses. As I neared the end of Chapter One (at least I think I was nearing the end), my Level 6 half-orc barbarian came up against a certain Level 10 cleric whom we all know and love. My great axe was totally ineffective against him. Even when it was backed up with barbarian rage, powerstroke and potion-enhanced strength. So I'm paying Chapter One over against, as a half-elf wizard.

What I'm spending most of my time on is designing my first module. Designing is a lot of fun and very complicated. It looks like, before I'm done, I'm going to have to pick up some rudimertary C language skills so I can do some "scripting."
