Awesome OP(s). If any of you join Legacy, post about it in the NWN2 PW thread or post on their forums, don't PM me because I'm taking a break for a spell so I probably wouldn't be able to answer your questions.

Sounds neat, I've been looking for a new server after a clique of really self centered players basically decided to drive a lot of the cool people out of my last one. Might check it out if SRR doesn't keep sucking up all my free time. (SRR is awesome and you should all go get it.)

KittyEmpress posted:Is that PW still kicking? I would be up for making a warlock who thinks she will be lynched constantly or something. Love me some warlocks. Which, Legacy? The goon run one? Nah, it imploded a few months ago and I heard even the creator, Troy, quit. From what I heard, basically one angry selfish dude wormed his way into an important DM position, he already had a pretty prominent PC that ran fief, he formed a tiny clique of cutthroat players and then systematically started murdering off literally everyone in sight in mostly poor sportsmanship ways, with lots of miscommunication and DM entrapment. Caused a bunch of people to just up and quit because frankly that's just not fun from a community perspective, and like half the team quit too. I'm sure there was more to it behind the scenes, but I had already quit by then because both of the guys I played with most had sort of burnt out and quit too, and we all started playing other stuff on Steam. Real shame, too. For the year I played on it it was a really drat good server with some of the craziest plotlines I've seen on a PW. I keep hoping some of the better DMs (Blackout, cbear, Kiroy, PsiOmega, Troy) take the systems that were coded for it and make a new server, but at this stage in NWN2's life, that'd probably be a losing battle.

What's a good build for a Stormlord? This is for an RP PW, so I don't care about weirdo races and crazy 1 level multiclassing... they require at least 3 contiguous levels in a class before you multi, and I'm leaning towards Cleric as the divine caster for it (unless someone gives a solid argument otherwise) and mainly want to pretend to be Thor (as in, the comic book guy) with a spear. Not claiming to be son of Talos (though that could be fun) but mostly just being a brash and arrogant prick. Alternative is either an Eldritch Knight or Arcane Trickster or something like that... the server (Cormyr) has Dimension Door and teleport spells, and some sort of Wizard or something that incorporates that would be neat, but yeah... I like to hit things and not be made of paper or at least make up for it with awesome skills. Thoughts/ideas? They aren't using Kaedrin's. Also any of you play on there?

So I went with a Swashbuckler/Wizard for now, but now I'm at an impasse. Originally I had planned to go for this funky Eldritch Knight/Invisible Blade build based on this: http://nwn2db.com/build/?1097 But the fact that I wouldn't be able to get Perfect TWF with a human, plus the totally wasted Bleeding Wound feats (no sneak attacks) kinda annoyed me, though the Feints seemed pretty cool. I concocted a similar build, but like this: http://nwn2db.com/build/?163225 Because a rapier just seemed more pirate-y and my character is supposed to be an ex-pirate, so look wise it's pretty great. It also seems like kukris are hard to find on the server. Thing is, it's totally skill-poor and I feel like with the stacked Insight setup, the IB build would just be hilariously better even without Perfect TWF in terms of ripping people in half, even if the Duelist build has slightly better AC and a way better crit range with Keen Edge. Either setup could work from an RP standpoint, so I'm a bit torn on which way to go. Flourish is sorta neat, but I feel like feint + dual-wielding 1d4+10 kukris at 9 attacks a round (10 with Haste) would just be even more hilarious, PLUS it gets a bunch of handy skills like Listen and Spot for me to dump points into. Thoughts? EDIT: http://nwn2db.com/build/?163227 Here's what I would do with the Invisible Blade setup. Skills aren't fully done on either of my builds, just so you know. I just put in the important ones for passive bonuses. Fuzz fucked around with this message at 13:20 on Oct 18, 2013 |

Really enjoying Cormyr now that I've explored some more, have a few levels under my belt, and was in a DM event last night. It goes way quicker than leveling on Legacy ever did, that's for sure. Hit 4 early last night and by the time I stopped playing I'm already 2/3 of the way to 5, and that was with a bit of downtime just hanging out and RPing. Also Milosh is THE poo poo.

Captain Oblivious posted:You should care if a server bans it, less so that people still do it. Whether a server bans it or not tells you a whole lot about the culture they tolerate/hope to foster. Choosing not to ban it usually is a bad sign. Exactly. They also have a strict rule about consensual RP for that stuff, and DMs aren't allowed to ERP at all when DMing, and if they do and you prove it they're gone. Seems like a pretty happy medium to keep everyone happy and keep it to a controlled minimum. Personally I don't give a drat what people do in PMs/behind closed doors. On Legacy there were people that'd ERP on occasion, and whatever, didn't bother me on impinge on my RP, so what does it matter? Let them play the way they want.

Well I know some of you have your panties in a twist because oh god some people are cybering in PMs on Cormyr and OH GOD, but Quantumfate, KittyEmpress and I have been having a pretty great time... KittyEmpress is a friggin' DM magnet, apparently, and his character keeps getting into all sorts of crazy poo poo. Quantum and I had our share of some of the fun today against a massive skeleton horde event (which he leveled up during), then we plumbed the depths of the sewers to kill a giant sea serpent and skin it. Then I went off on my own and swindled the most obnoxious mage character on the server out of some gold to lead him to a really easy to find scroll merchant, where he found out the scroll I had just sold him 10 minutes earlier could have been bought for a whopping 3 gold (he traded me Tasha's Hideous Laughter for it). He got all upset at me but didn't demand his money back, instead trying to barter with me for some more spells by offering me a scroll of (worthless) See Invisibility (I already have Blindsight). I played along and he started asking me what spells I knew, so I rattled them off and you could practically see the shrinkage as he realized I already had almost twice as many spells as he does. This is a dude that's been powergrinding the crypts and plays the most obnoxious Aasimar Wizard on the server, who thinks he's the Gods' gift to everyone. Was pretty hilarious to tell him, "Oh, actually, I can already see invisibility with Blindsight... nevermind then!" (he doesn't have Blindsight) and then he almost got killed by a snake trying to walk back because he didn't know the safe path through the King's Forest. EDIT: For Kitty and Quantum, yes it was that douche Stephen Silversmith or whatever his name is... Selena just calls him "Eyebrows." Fuzz fucked around with this message at 08:50 on Oct 24, 2013 |

Basically D&D in general is a holdover archaic system that needs to just go away, but we play what's available and unfortunately no one is making DM client games that support PW architecture based on Savage Worlds, or Shadowrun, or nWoD, or Pathfinder, or whatever other system/setting you prefer. It's obscene how much money I'd pay for a good Star Wars or other sci-fi type type PW game with real RP.

Hey Quantum, can you tell your friend that plays Milosh to register on the forums if he's still playing? We're hashing out the interior design of the pirate ship and we're going for a Firefly feel with lived in spaces and personality, and I want to know what sort of ridiculously pompous bunk with perfumes and hookahs or whatever that Milosh would want to have around all the time with him. Tell him to send me a PM on the forum and I'll add him to our discussion, since he's on the crew now (there's 6 of us total now!) because we all agreed he would be a hilarious and fun addition.

Cormyr is fun, but it's difficult to find people to play with and progression is painfully slow. It has 0 RP exp and is an old server that's mostly full of high level cliques that dominate most of the plots, from what I've heard. Pretty standard fare.

Ossian Studios also made some soft expansions for both games... I only played the NWN1 one (Darkness over Daggerford, I think?) but I remember it being pretty great, and apparently they did an NWN2 one called Mysteries of Westgate. Anyone play either of them? Did they make any more? I also remember hearing that the NWN1 Premium Modules were pretty good, but I only dabbled in Wyvern Crown of Cormyr because it had horses in it.

On the Cormyr front, the pirate crew finally has its ship! Should go in in the next couple weeks, and apparently they have a big rollout coming which will double the size of the aboveground playable area and adds a whole shitload of new quests. They also tweaked the existing quests so they're all weeklies now and have bigger payouts, so leveling up has become pretty painless, it's just a matter of putting in the time and RP and stuff.

Black Numenorean posted:Those who are interested in taking part in NWN's multiplayer for the first time or are interested in trying a PW out should probably look into the Easter New Character Event that's going on in Prisoners of the Mist. All information about the event and everything that you might need to get started can be found here. The music override, by the way, is a must if you don't got your own music blasting in the background and is highly recommended by yours truly. I was all reared up to jump into this, then I saw it was NWN1, which I don't have installed. Care to elaborate more on why it wouldn't be for everyone? I'd like to have a better idea of what it's like before I go through the hassle of finding my old CDs and installing this poo poo, and their forum is mostly total garbage and horribly organized. Also anyone have any good suggestions on a good Rogue-y melee build for NWN1? Been so long since I played it, I forgot all the ins and outs. Is the server relatively high magic, gear wise?

SodomyGoat101 posted:I haven't played there in ages, but as I recall it's "not for everyone" in that it's a fairly strict RP server with a bunch of rules about what is/isn't considered good RP. XP gain is slow as hell, grinding is discouraged. Setting is Ravenloft, which carries a fair amount of baggage. Low-medium magic, and what's there is hideously expensive and rare. When I gave it a whirl, I got repeatedly gibbed by HiPSing gerbils in low level areas, and got lectured on setting minutia by what turned out to be a 17th level barmaid. Also they were using HCR last I checked, so expect to spend time hunting deer early on to prevent dying mid-rest. Ooookay, gently caress that then.
