Some time ago while I was a bit younger and had fewer hairs on my nipples I played an excellent module for NWN1 module - Dances with Rogues. I really enjoyed the first part where the action took place in the city, I like it a little less once I got out of the city and some dog raped my character (I guess the dog pill is real).

Anyway I really enjoyed the way the gameplay was structured, it was more like an adventure game combined with RPG and it was less focused on combat, but in instances where there was combat you had to really work hard to don't die and use your resources wisely as you didn't have much gold and you played as low tier princess whore that can barely defend herself and there were so many options to bypass combat scenarios with other means and you in combat you could use many tools and features that where not so much utilized in original NWN1 like setting up traps or relying on items, since your character was just weak.

I really don't care about the porn part (I won't say I whether I did or didn't whip my dick out to it, though)...
:shredder:
but I really enjoy such low-level adventures where you actually have to use more than 2 brain cells to figure shit out. For example that you could use a rope to get to the magus tower or that you could trim your pussy and get a bath to buy your way past guards. Are there any other modules or games that utilize systems like DnD in such manner, where there is more thinking/skill checks/dialogues than combat?

Well, there is the Swordflight Saga modules for NWN1. I only played the first two installments (didn't finish the second part), and I played them like 4 years ago, but I think they fit what you're looking for. They're also combat-heavy, though.

Swordgflight is nowhere close to a low-lvl, low magic adventure and is also nauseatingly boring, to a extent that only a crazed autist like Lilura could possibly enjoy.

Yeah, I’m puzzled how hard Lilura promotes Swordgflight and rates a mod to NWN higher than BG2. 3 and 4 result about Swordgflight on google are her blog links.

As soon as you leave the city in part two, you get to fights a shitload of giants.
There's a little amount of "smart" quests in swordflight but the rest is boring NWN dungeons filled with trash mobs or overpowered mobs (a shitload of giants).

I played Shadows of unrentide recently, the interlude looks like swordflight part 1, a lot, i don't know which one came first but the other one is severely "inspired" by it and if it is swordflight, it was just made way worse with retarded encounter design like spiders coming out of nowhere to kill your useless bard henchwoman.

Also, shadows of unrentide is a huge pile of garbage, first part is decent, backtracking/exploration aside but from the interlude, one cut-scene aside, it goes from bad to worse.

I don't even get why people would spend some time to design shitty modules for that garbage engine.

Still no good recommendations? :negative:
I too love this module a lot (part 1 of it, at least). Not only is it low level, the resource management is really tight, you never have enough money and you would actually like to spend money on consumables since you are so weak, makes you feel like your decisions with spending really matters.
I can't really think of a proper crpg that gives the same feels. Disco Elysium delivers on the non-combat skill checks side but you don't have the thrill of assaulting multiple high level rapists in their sleep and lure the remaining ones to your traps when things go south.
However there are some porn games that kind of give off a similar vibe. 男爵領(barony sengia) is a Japanese doujin dev but his Aisha trilogy uses a tabletop-like system (d6 iirc). The plot basically is about your heroine escaping from a dangerous location and the game provides multiple solutions to most if not all encounters with skill checks, item usage, scouting for info, or direct combat in some cases where it's viable. There is limited character customization, you pick some starting bonuses (like dark souls) and choose skills to focus on as you level up. The obvious flaw with these games is the rpgmaker engine, the combat system is not that interesting, and environmental interaction is limited to scripted instances.

Try the Graveron seduction or whatever it's called. I haven't played it myself(yet), but it may scratch some of your itches, so to speak.

Undrentide came before Swordflight, I am pretty sure. Also, for all its flaws, it has Deekin, while in the entire Swordflight series there isnt a single memorable companion, not counting the rage-inducing suicidal bard wench you mentioned.

I disagree, while i don't like swordflight that much (only played p1 and p2) mostly because of part 1 and the engine shortcomings (and terrible dungeon design), The Lich companion is more than memorable, one of the highlights of the module.

Well, the heroine of this game is quite sexy, it's an urban adventure (with sporadic journeys beyond the walls) and has some rogue quests. On the other hand you rarely feel weak. Scarlett is able to handle most enemies with ease.

But probably it's one of the better suggestions.

Honor Among Thieves is a city based adventure (mostly), its set up for a thief class protagonist, and iirc its low level. The city itself can be pretty dynamic, with shops having open/close times, and all NPCs moving around from home to work and so on.
From memory, and having played this on an older version of the game, at one point you may have to use Debug Mode to make a certain NPC hostile, so you can attack them to complete a quest.

So HAT covers the city thief module part. The NWN based porn part can be covered by the spiritual successor A Dance With Spies, where you play a CIA agent looking for the princess from ADWR. It can get pretty degenerate, but you are mostly in control of it. Its also a thief focused module, with two big cities, but you also are sent outside of them a lot.

There is an unofficial addon to aDwR called A Dance with Spies. Made by another author, but happens along the main story of aDwR. The player character never meets Lyanna in person, but he walks her path and experiences the results of some of her deeds.

It's not as high quality as part 1 of aDwR, but is still an urban adventure with rogue gameplay and lots of sex :)

rarely feel week.
:buildawall:

Disgusting!!! What kind of loser would like to feel weak in a fucking game?!

I don't know. Gothic and Elex fans? :)
What about us? In those games is all about skillz,i have never felt weak in them. You could kill everything even on level one if you are good enough and patient.

Circling around a boar for 15 minutes in a swamp, so you can fist it to death is the epitome of "feeling weak".

Swordflight shits on most new CRPGs and some old ones

it is a masterpiece and award winning module (back when awards meant something)

meanwhile you like Elex and Disco Elysium bro

One is mediocre console jank, the other an adventure game with no combat or exploration and fake choices

You quite clearly show you havent got a clue about RPGs, CRPGs and quality in general, so you can fuck off
