Let's Play: Mask of the Betrayer

Main character: a fucking evil bitch. We'll be doing really evil things, for which we might need Intimidate, Bluff and Taunt.
So, vote for one class between Warlock and Rogue, possibly with additional Prestige classes. Also, vote on the race, and suggest a name.

Micmu · Apr 21, 2008

Big-titted, wide-assed Half-Orc chick named Lucy

k?

p.s.: pick the long haircut style with flower for extra hawtness.

fastpunk · Apr 21, 2008

I played this as a Warlock and once you get the uber powerful dark invocations you'll be unstoppable. So yeah, go with Warlock; besides, it fits evil characters really well. And make her a human female, they make the best Warlocks imho; tieflings work well too but they're level adjusted and we need the levels. And make sure you get a 24 on Spellcraft for the Eldritch Master feat, the most delicious feat you'll ever get for this class.

Demnogonis Saastuttaja · Apr 21, 2008

Pure Warlock artillery, human for extra feats and skills. Name : Lady Slutskaja

MetalCraze · Apr 21, 2008

Warlock!

Andyman Messiah · Apr 21, 2008

Warlock, human female, named Lady Dolph Lundgren or just Dolph Lundgren if the full name doesn't fit. Chaotic Evil of course.

Micmu · Apr 21, 2008

By the way, has anyone noticed how atrociously they changed the default female Warlock outfit in MoTB?
In vanilla NWN2 it had a nice cut out for cleveage, but after installing MoTB there's a shirt below.
Goddamn lamers.

Hümmelgümpf · Apr 21, 2008

ESRB pressured Obsidian into doing it, I believe.

MetalCraze · Apr 21, 2008

but retarded kids don't play MotB - so it can't be ESRB
then again you can always mod the body back if you have the time

Nerve Gas · Apr 21, 2008

There is a mod for that. I'll install it if you insist.

MetalCraze · Apr 21, 2008

do it if you want.
btw is there any mod for Safia that gives her a hair? she looks ugly with bold head.

Yes, there is. No, I won't install that. Actually, I'll make sure to emphasize her baldness during the LP.
If anyone wants a link to the MotB revert pack, here it is. It also slightly improves the faces, a welcome change.
Any other mod suggestions?

MetalCraze · Apr 21, 2008

I actually wanted that mod for myself as I'm planning to do a 2nd walkthrough of MotB.
edit: ok I've found it

King Crispy · Apr 21, 2008

Human female warlock sounds pretty good. Make sure to drive down Safiya's influence as far as possible. And don't even think about fucking Gann. He's an idiot and doesn't deserve us.

- Even though MotB is pretty easy once you level high enough, I'd still recommend one of the spell fix mods, such as Reeron's. It cleans up a bunch of spells and fixes some classes, including adding Sneak Attack damage to touch-based spells (like the Warlock's Eldritch Blast), and that might help you out a lot in your quest to D0MiNaT3!!!1

- Maybe to add some eye-candy, get the Light Emitter mod for spells effects, as well. Oh, and don't forget Less Obtrusive Buff Effects! We need to see our hawt biatch in action, not surrounded by a bunch of stupid magic globes!

Alright then, get on with it.

Bullshit! We're fucking Gann and that's final. I don't think many of us explored the Gann romance anyway, it might be fun to see how it goes.

MetalCraze · Apr 21, 2008

I support the man above

Andyman Messiah · Apr 21, 2008

Yeah, Gann is awesome and Lady Dolph is so fucking him. End of story.

Nerve Gas · Apr 21, 2008

Yeah. Besides, Evil+Gann+Anya=Win. You'll see.
Also, what the fuck do I do with all these feats? Suggest some good ones.
And Taunt vs. Lore. You're choice.

Demnogonis Saastuttaja · Apr 21, 2008

Some suggestions :

Starting feat - Luck of Heroes
Spell Penetration, Greater Spell Penetration
Focus etc. on ranged touch attacks
Combat caster

Taunt could be good against annoying wizards (and it has dialogue uses), but I don't know if it'll ever work.

fastpunk · Apr 21, 2008

Feats:
Combat Casting, Spell, Greater Spell and Epic Spell Penetration and maybe a skill focus on Concentration are pretty much essential. Be sure to invest a lot of points into the Spellcraft skill (24 are needed) to get the epic feat Eldritch Master (50% more damage with eldritch blast... doesn't get any better than this). Also, when in the epic levels be sure to choose Epic Fiendish Resilience, and for fuck's sake, us it! :D

As for skills go for Lore, there are tons of Lore checks in dialogs in MotB. And choose Intimidate too, we wanna be mean right?

King Crispy · Apr 21, 2008

Fine. Catch a nasty case of the Faerunian Clap for all I care. I'm tellin' ya, that guy gets around.

Nerve Gas · Apr 21, 2008

As of the latest patch, Warlocks are so badass that they can enchant anything without having to cast any spell.
How about this build:
Ladonna Lesifoere (I chose this name because she represents the will of the Codex, and those two are the closest things we have to girls over here. Also, your suggestions sucked). Human Warlock, Chaotic Evil. At level 18:

STR: 10
DEX: 14
CON: 12
INT: 16
WIS: 8
CHA: 20

Feats:
Toughness
Ranged Touch Attack
Combat Casting
Great Spell Penetration
Craft Arms, Armor and Itamz
Luck of Heroes

Skills (all maxed):
Bluff
Concentration
Intimidate
Lore
Spellcraft
Taunt
(maybe replace one of those with Use Magic Device?)

Spells:
Beguiling Influence (+6 conv skills)
Dark Luck (+CHA bonus saves)
Leaps and Bounds (+4 Dex and Tumble, don't stack with Itamz)

Brimstone Blast
Eldritch Chain
Flee the Scene

Chilling Tentacles
Vitriolic Blast
Devour Magic

Binding Blast
Dark Foresight

Suggest changes.

Demnogonis Saastuttaja · Apr 21, 2008

IIRC Chilling Tentacles doesn't do anything but make really annoying noise.

King Crispy · Apr 21, 2008

Maybe replace Bluff with Tumble instead? 10 ranks in Tumble will get you a +1 to AC.

FAIL ALERT!

If you haven't yet heard MotB is about dialogs, not powergaming.
