NWN2: Mask of the Betrayer

[Dorkenstein]

What character did you play/beat the expansion as? I stopped playing because of the spirit hunger meter but I am re-playing it now that I know how to turn the meter off with the console. I would appreciate advice on what a good (alignment) melee build might be. Thank you.

I haven't gotten to the expansion yet, but I'm playing through the original with a Red Wizard Evoker. Nuke nuke nuke nuke nuke hahaha. The guys I'm co-oping the campaign with are doing Sacred Fist and Stormlord or whatever it is.

 

[Dorkenstein]

Nice, do you find it easy enough to play as a pure wizard or do you get killed alot? Thanks for the reply.

 

[Schadenfroh]

IMO, sorcerer (when spells are picked properly) is a stronger class than a wizard.

 

[Dorkenstein]

I am thinking a pure caster isn't for me. I don't know what spells to use on the fodder and what to keep for big fights. I am more of a melee guy. Anybody have some good melee builds? I like to be of good alignment.

Yeah, I had a sorc/pale master before, but straight wizards get more spells, so I can go from straight damage to prot with just a rest.

Yeah, even with shield I'm always the first one to die. Defensive casting doesn't do what it's supposed to :frown:

I always play as a ranger, sometimes with some rogue levels sprinkled in to add in some diplomacy skills.

Still trying to figure out if I'm willing to buy this.

Yeah I usually play a rapier wielding thief, but I decided to change it up a bit. I actually made a straight ranger, but really didn't like it, so I made the evoker instead.

 

[StinkyPinky]

I like melee characters myself. I played as a Fighter/Barbarian (with prestige classes)

Yeah one of my friend's alts is a barb/monk sacred fist fighter. He punches like mad.

The next official patch should be out next week or the week after, I would pick it up then if you are a fan of cRPGs. It has improved a great deal since launch and even then the game itself was fun, save for the bugs (which are no longer a problem).

 

[Dorkenstein]

I'm going with Cleric/Fighter. Liking it so far.

Well I picked up NWN2 in the first couple weeks of release, played the OC, enjoyed myself, haven't been back much since.

The ending was quite a bit of a letdown.

I'll probably wait for a price drop then snag a copy.

The game and expansion are each $20.

I am actually just playing it for the first time starting in a few days... Was planning to go pure bard... noich

 

[DaveSimmons]

I prefer an arcane caster class (for NWN 1 expansions was a mage + arcane archer). However, based on posts about the lack of survivability for casters I played NWN 2 as a paladin and am playing MotB as a figther/red dragon disciple.

I'm not sure I picked the most enjoyable class for it, but it's been fun and the hunger is an interesting challenge since (spoiler) ...















(spoilers) the friendly ghost badger only gives you +7 while resting costs -15, and my Concentration skill is too low to use the don't-feed feats in combat .

that is the way i alway play it
- are you masochistic also


i got MotB for $8 last week at Curseit City ...
- is it fully patched yet? ... is it safe yet to play?

 

[Dorkenstein]

8 bucks is a sweet deal. It's been rigorously patched as I found out this afternoon. Give it a blast, and let me know what you play as.

 

[esjrobles]

I'm playing this using Paladin, I haven't finish it yet. Next I'll try it using pure Monk and then Sorc/Paladin/RDD

i got 11 new games within the last 30 days for less than $10 each from GoGamer and CC ... MotB is on the short list



too damn much choice now


and i will play mostly as a Ranger with some Rogue characteristics
... continuing my NWN2 character - in spirit, at least

 

[Dorkenstein]

Anyone have a good rogue/melee multiclass build?

 

[shortylickens]

Havent beat the expansion yet.

Beat the main game with a human cleric (fire/healing) and am now on the expansion with an orc barbarian.
Loads of fun so far.

How would NWN2 run on a 8800gt at 1280x1024? Are there still many bugs left in this game? If it's $20 I was thinking of buying it along with Shivering Isles.
