I'm now tempted to make a sling in Neverwinter Nights with the "Great Thunderclap" effect. A localized explosion every time you land a hit. Silly but probably fun for a few minutes.

When I was creating an npc mod for BG1 I ended up modding in a usable throwing spear, I saw a few gibs before. I'm sure it's not possible via missile weapon. In the video it really looks like they got gibbed with a sling.

What's interesting is that Aspyr Media owns Beamdog. So it's an odd situation. NWN2, more than any game i've played, can benefit a lot with a little work. I will be watching this hopefully. I think NWN was the best enhanced edition yet so i'm cautiously optimistic.

So as of a few hours ago NWN2: Enhanced Edition popped up on SteamDB https://steamdb.info/app/2738630/history/ NWN1 and 2 are my favorite game series of all time without a doubt, so i'm eagerly awaiting this. Everything they did with NWN was a clear improvement, including the updated graphics.

Talking about City of Heroes led me to revisiting some of my old characters Luckily it's a game that is very casual friendly, I can pop in for a mission every few days and not miss anything

You can learn a foreign language and still play video games! Hobbies and productive activities are not mutually exclusive. In fact, you have to give yourself time to enjoy yourself if you are going to sustainably produce the motivation to pursue important things on your own time. At least, that...

I bought the first one recently for like 4$ or something insane. I will eventually try it. hearing what I have about the sequel, i won't touch it, but i've long accepted i'm not a modern video game enjoyer.

Have you considered throwing? You only need a handful of skillpoints to make it "good enough", and it's a decent support option for a tech melee build. Also, you're a dwarf, have you considered pumping your CON to 20? ;) it's a random bit of trivia, but a lot of the pre-generated classes end...

Do you have enough smithing to make all the charged equipment? ( sword, shield, etc.) It might come in handy. After that, i'd go into mechanical and just try to get the robots. Fitting for a dwarf imo

I created several characters and leveled them close to max. A sword and shield guy was my first.

This, and interacting with a million different menu systems that don't interest me, and the basic bare-bones gameplay and story, are what inevitably push me away. The one MMO that I liked, City of Heroes, I never had to buy an alternate currency, and I never had to grind, levels came with doing...

I don't like MMO's, period. Combat mechanics included. The sole exception to this, and I have tried many, is City of Heroes. But that does everything differently to every other MMO. It's a tragedy as a single-player RPG enthusiast to see every major franchise grind to a screeching halt because...

This is the correct way to play, in my opinion. Tim Cain has mentioned that the only reason real-time exists at all is to make multiplayer viable.

The easiest and shortest route to fixing a glitch like this is just to cheat-in a resurrection item, there is a technological version. Quests can be taken out of the failed state if the person in question gets revived. Actually kind of cool, if you have the power naturally.

I am making slow but steady progress in Arcanum. I have just arrived at Quintarra, and set off on the first quest I was given. This led me to Waroman, and I instantly knew I was going to keep him until end game. He's none of the standard races, which is cool, he has magic which fits my team, and...

I always liked Electricity and Smithing as Dwarven technologies. Later on go into mechanical. Early on you can have charged rings and balanced sword, good enough. Later on you can craft robots to do your fighting for you, don a healing jacket, wear a helmet that reflects bullets, etc. The Tesla...

When you count the fact that you can convert Heroes to your army, and those Heroes have more diversity than just "more powerful type of your creature", and also you can transfer high level creatures between levels if you find the right secret items...there is actually quite a lot of diversity...

i havent used it and havent had any issues.

I will say that Dragon Age is really special in that you can get lost in the lore for ages, it is so dense. Especially if you are discovering everything for yourself via gameplay and not just reading it all online. Everytime you think you have a thorough understanding, a new layer reveals...

There are so many interesting ways to make a tech character. Throwing is a good choice. But there are also so many cool magic spells, I end up going magic every single time. One day I will make a Dwarven electric and smithing master like I keep telling myself.
