Who played it and actually liked it? BIS is going down the drain with this worthless latest installment of theirs and if this isn't some kinda time-fill-up between NWN and some other grand RPG, I fear for its reputation. What a bogus game: your PC doesn't even have a standing-animation !!!!

I liked the character generaion, but the game was waaay too hard... enemies just rush you and you have no idea whats going on...

bad

Me installs...me plays for 30 minutes,me throws the CDs into wall. :(


BIS really did a weird job on late games.(i.e Lionheart and NWN) About NWN-it is just my opinion. Like Diablo only better. [img]smile.gif[/img] :(


Hmm. I think Greyhawk will claim the throne-temporarily of course.

I was pretty disappointed with Lionheart. Good thing I gave KOTOR (Knights of the Old Republic) a try, I'm lovin it. Get it when it comes out for the PC, great game play and truly good writing and voice acting.

Yes, Lionheart suck, but this is the wrong forum...

Right, sorry bout that.

As far the difficulty of the game: build this character:

Demokin
9's in INT, AGI & PER
6 in Luck, put points in whatever you like, but I recommend STR for carrying capacity
take the gifted and skilled trait (this char doesn't need as many perks so...)
take the elemental spirit
tag RANGED, EVASION & FORTITUDE

Now, this guy is obviously an archer. Play the game, and you'll soon find out that
A) you have a very high rate of attack
B) you dodge almost ALL attacks (made by those who survived your rain of arrows)
C) you get MUCHO skill points at level up, which is THE most important thing in the game.

With this char, I cleared out almost all areas before even going inside Barcelona.

Considering the previous: the game BLOWS, because this character shouldn't even survive a snake bite.

Also, make sure you get the permanent +1 luck potions from the dryad and the beggars end you'll end up with 9 luck.

When you reach level 35, get the sniper perk.
Now you are a turret of ultimate destruction: firing arrows/bolts like mad, never missing and scoring criticals on almost every hit.

I wonder where`s the fun in that? It is pointless. Nothing survives. Altough you could easily say the same thing for a Sorcerer in BG 2.

Well Xen, making a character less powerful then this one will result in you having MAJOR problems near the end of the game (this character is one of two that can take on three Revenants no problem). You still need tactics or else you wont survive, but this char sets the game difficulty to normal IMO.

And yes it gets pretty boring after a while, but that is really the games fault. normal enemies are easy as hell, but bosses are suddenly wickedly strong (try taking on the goblin leader with an under-par character)...

It just proves the game is faulty.

Heh I did not know that BIS became a fan of Diablo. :D [img]graemlins/evillaughter2.gif[/img]
It comes with the job as they say...it comes with NWN and Lionheat is what *i* say...

Yeah, thats actually one of THE major downsides of this game: it feels like Diablo and that is a bad thing if you expected BGII stuff....
