    neverwinter nights 2 is a piece of shit

    Vampires are immune to mind affecting spells, death magic, poison, critical hits and have damage reduction. But Weapons made of Alchemical silver can bypass their damage reduction, so use those and also storm them with damage dealing spells and spells designed against unded generally (Sun...

    neverwinter nights 2 is a piece of shit

    I admit I was fucking around with NWN2 so much recently that everyithing (the combat, crafting, camera, UI...) feels OK to me. I guess I learned to master the game to the point that all aspects about it just feel natural... So I'm probably past the point being able to judge this game objectively.

    The best writer in RPGs is...

    Best Writers: Chris Avellone - Planescape: Torment, Lonesome Road; George Ziets - Mask of the Betrayer AoD's writing is good but compared to MoTB for example? Nahh, that's a whole different level.

    neverwinter nights 2 is a piece of shit

    http://www.nexusmods.com/neverwinter2/mods/212 This thread makes me sad. So much hate for the best game Obsidian has ever created... In the end NWN2 as a full package (including Mysteries of Westgate and number of essential mods) is the best DnD CRPG with RTwP combat ever made. I even came to...

    Mass Effect Mass Effect Series Retrospective by Shamus Young

    Yeah, I don't get the hate for ME3 area design either. I mean it was basically the first time you had to be consistently aware of your surroundings (few of those areas were also in ME2 and stood out as the most fun and intense).

    Game News Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear Released

    So people who want to talk about games should register on RPGWatch because this site is about SJW/antiSJW bullshit now, right?

    Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear Pre-Release Thread

    The problem is that the guy is not designing anymore... Since BG2, he's basically a manager who doesn't seem to be interested in getting his "hands dirty". I'm pretty sure his position in Bioware allows him to make a DnD project happen if he really wanted to do that... His skills are wasted on TOR.

    Those sprites are gorgeous!

    Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear Pre-Release Thread

    My attitude towards Bemadog changed a lot lately. I bitched about EE's, but they got a lot better now. I mean those guys are patching the games three years after the release and that's pretty cool. I recently replayed the first game and I wouldn't go back to the original version anymore. But...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda Pre-Release Thread

    I don't believe in freedom of speech anymore. Every year i find myself closer and closer to the idea of dictatorship. Codex is obviously partly to blame...

    Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear Pre-Release Thread

    HOLY COCK! That's some pretty interesting news. Oldschool Bioware might be back. We'll see how it goes. I guess everything depends on SoD reception.

    Preview Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear Twitch Stream

    Yep PC's. Really? I would swear they're sharper, outlined or something... Weird. EDIT: Well that's what Avenger is saying in that thread.

    Preview Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear Twitch Stream

    Sprites look like they've been updated. Much better now! This is not a bad design decision. The game might actually be bold enough to be punishing which sometimes manifests itself as frustration. For Example, in Storm of Zehir, unless you had high hide/move silently skills, you would be...

    People News David Gaider leaves BioWare

    Yet another laughable thread. The reason why DAI sucks is not writing which is actually pretty decent, with a lot of CC and quite complex conflicts. As for SJW bullshit, not only there's little of it, but your character has options to be negative about it (so DAI is a game which allows you to be...

    The Dark Eye Blackguards - turn-based tactical RPG set in The Dark Eye world

    LOL, ending is fucking shit. It's probably the most rushed, nonsensical ending I have ever seen. Apart from Aurelia, player's choices doesn't matter at all. No different endings (there are two which are basically the same, the "good" provides one additional mini cutscene), no epilogue, none of...
