"You do realize that NWN was more successful than either BG game, right? Get over it, BG cucks. NWN > ALL

NWN upgraded to Dragon Age: Origins, indeed, was very good.

DEAL WITH IT.

"All you said is true but there is a reason why there are thousand of people still playing IE games, including Beamdog "remastered" versions, while NWN not so much, and the 3D gameplay has a role in it."

FAKE NEWS

Volourn, sweety, it's time to take your meds. The tumour is making you shitpost nonsense again.

lol, I think BolshyPlays just broke the game with this build. 100AC while fighting (just self-buffed, not counting buffs from others), 48 Dexterity and all sorts of other shenanigans. Interesting because it's one of the few Trickster mythic path builds I've seen:-

 

[jungl]

Do you guys think owlfat will bother improving the enemy AI? Larian did with divinity original sin. I try to play the game but get immediately bored how fucktarded the enemy ai is. Casting channel energy that does 1d6 damage instead of bolt. They probably will not because too much coding involved.

 

[Rafidur]

48 Dexterity

Liches can get way more Cha than that! Yet Daeran won't fuck them anymore. Makes no sense.

Seems like Aasimar characters are good for roleplaying Angel classes. The wings they grow eventually really adds flavour.
A question about Gold Dragon, it adds +10 strength on morphing, so I assume the attacks will all be strength based? Dex weapon finese characters are screwed?

 

[Atlet]

Are you serious that ppl were bitching about how core is so so so so hard and that the companions alone cant help you beat the game on.... core?

hausdahuisdhjsdahjkasdhjsadhjdashjkdsahjkds

omg is this reseteratards or veterans in the genre?

you cant even be considered a pathfinder if you didnt beat the game on insane

Daeran's heartfelt expression of grief when one of the main NPC's kicks the bucket.

[Rusty Eyes]

Alright, getting to a miniboss and having them say "Wait, I don't exist!" and blip out of existence was pretty funny.

Spoiler

Is it just my own observation, or does Aeon gets the most reactivity out of any path sans Lich and Angel?

 

[Whisper]

What path gets most content and reactivity?

If people are complaining about the AI then they are extremely retarded. I could see how people who don't understand the system could have issues with the for pathfinder comparatively overturned encounters due to not understanding builds, not realising how spells stack or which spells are effective, but the AI? The AI is completely and utterly brain-dead and adds nothing to the difficulty.

Apparently, there are cheap voice actors outside of Commyfornia trade unions

Speaking of voice actors, my kid regularly asks me to fire up GTA V and GTA IV because he likes to ride on the trains. I also have Vice City installed just for educational purposes. That voice acting quality, and playing modern RPGs after it, makes me want to cry.

I make the following calculation in my mind:
Old Games:
- badly aged graphics
+ good voice acting
+ good writing and plots
+ you actually play as a gangster, no excuses

New Games:
+ good graphics -> but (-) they tempt designers to turn it into an interactive movie, instant downer
- talantless voice acting, because actors are in high demand, and "great auteurs" didn't want "familiar voices" to detract from their geniusly written characters
- netflix-level script
- it's not politically correct to play as a bad guy, so you are now the washed-out anti-hero, good guy forced to do bad things for bad people

I just tend to think it was a limitation of its time, and there's no reason to not have proper full 3-d environments in this day and age. I want a place to feel like a real place, not a prissily handcrafted stage set.

They thought the same 20 years ago... and they made Neverwinter nights. I'd rather hope Owlcat isn't trying to go down that road.

What's wrong with Neverwinter Nights? It's a classic (not the OC, but the game as such, and what it implemented of D&D and enabled in terms of user-made content). Sure, the graphics look dated, but there were other compensations.

The graphics were revolting then, particularly after BG2, and they are just as revolting now. In a sense it has aged well.

Just a heads up re: Angel/Aasimar. Unfortunately the wings you get from the Aasimar racial feat actually clips with the ones you get from an Angel (and they are just slightly off colour enough to make it look terrible). The worst part is, you can't turn off the Angel ones which are purely aesthetic, whereas the Aasimar wing required a feat and gives you +3 AC....

100AC

Can someone explain what these numbers are even supposed to mean?
For example, here is the armor class table from AD&D

So if you have 2 AC, you have equivalent protection as someone wearing Plate Mail + Shield.


So, what does "100AC" represent in Pathfinder? Surely it's not just some silly anime-tier powerlevel number that keeps going up with no real meaning... right?

 

[ArchAngel]

OK, I also ran into my ultimate enemy.. the huge tree that Stomps everyone on a tight bridge :D
It is a interesting enemy, you basically cannot resist being Overun, you got nowhere to move out of the way and then when you are rising up he gets AoO that cannot miss. You also must cast spells as defensive casting and if you fail he hits and trips you lol. Fucking evil DM enemy :D
Summons also don't help as they also get stomped and he is not doing energy damage or poison so standard defensive spells don't help.

 

[S.H.O.D.A.N.]

It is a interesting enemy, you basically cannot resist being Overun, you got nowhere to move out of the way and then when you are rising up he gets AoO that cannot miss.

I'm fairly certain if you engage it in melee first, it won't Overrun into your backline.

 

[Haplo]

NWN > DA


DEAL WITH IT.

Oh, I fully agree. DA was maybe worth one playtrough. With the annoyance of redundant fighter skill trees and lots of tedious trash fights.

NWN was my most played game, by far. 6 years of my nearly exclusive gaming time. No other game came anywhere close, ever. Campaign, player created mods. But granted, most of this time was spent on 2 Persistent World servers.

He gets engaged with Babau and he still did Overrun

 

[Rieser]

Got this dialogue that had me make two will checks, where the first one was d20 + 13 skill value and the second d20 + 11 skill value. What is this number derived from?

If it was the Shamira Will-Checks against her trying to pry the information about Nahyndrian Crystals from your memory, that is intentional.
Throughout the conversation, she starts casting mind-affecting spells on you as you pass the checks, including a nasty -10 Will Saves mindfog for the last one. You can typically fail one of them and have the Hand of the Inheritor help you out, or if your saves/spellresist is high enough, you can resist all of them by yourself.

I see. Well that makes a lot of sense of an otherwise incomprehensible value.

You jest, but the official version in Pathfinder is that AC represents how hard it is to hit you, not how good your armor is. To quote: "Your Armor Class (AC) represents how hard it is for opponents to land a solid, damaging blow on you."

OK, I finally won. It was basically reload until my mages stop rolling less than 5 on their check vs enemy SR so their Enervates actually do anything. On the other hand tree gets all high rolls including 20s lol

 

[Salvo]

Very cool, never seen this interaction before. You actually have to FAIL a skill check to get this item.
Thank you, Pink Eye.

 

[ArchAngel]

Hmm, is this a bug.. I took 1 Loremaster level with my wizard and didnt' get +1 caster level with it or new spells to pick.. Loremaster in PnP pathfinder is supposed to give caster levels on all levels..
I merged my spellbook with Lich, maybe this is somehow the cause..
