Completely agreed here. I learned, from my mother, to try to be that person.

I know, i'm joking of course. They clearly plan to do some modern graphic remake using 5th edition rules. But, not joking here, if they don't have modding tools and are not developing with those in mind they won't be doing the game justice and don't really understand the longevity of these games.

If it's not compatible with my mods we're gonna have a big problem

If you have Mass Domination on any of your psionics, now is the time to use it. Every enemy you convert to your side is one that isn't shooting arrows at you. For that matter, even a single 2nd level cleric spell works for this strat even if its single target. Find a well-placed enemy in front...

"A Pale Master/Monk makes for a potent adversary." I always thought this advice from NWN's loading screens was silly, probably the worst build one could make, but it turns out I was wrong. All you need is improved expertise and add a little to your defensive stats. The +6 from Pale Master will...

There are so many good modules, new and old. It's a gold mine. I also like Good vs. Evil 3, which is basically a mass battle simulator, good if you want to level up a character whose background is a veteran of some war or other. There is an online version played under the name of NWN-Players...

The vanilla PnP system supports that playstyle as an agent of the Sorcerer-King. The class is called Templars, they get minor clerical magic from their devotion to the sorcerer-kings, and the higher level they are the more people they can arbitrarily imprison and extort. There is also a Trader...

In-between bouts of Divinity - and I do need breaks, I hit walls more often than Wil - E - Coyote - I have been playing Neverwinter Nights modules. I highly recommend Endless Nights IV to anyone. It's super casual radiant questing for any classes or alignments. Test out builds, level fast, take...

Of course we remember you Wrex! Happy to hear from you even if its just a passing visit.

I think Wake of the Ravager is worth a try, when you complete this one. I had just as good a time throughout the entire thing. The art style change is really the only downside, in my honest opinion. Glad to hear you are starting to like Athas! I find the lore of this world better than any...

AI has a surprisingly good grasp of the technical details of Neverwinter Nights, and it has been a huge help in getting my scripts working properly. Toolset work is fun!

Battle for Middle Earth is probably fairly self explanatory in how it plays, but the most interesting part is the "hero" system where you can summon a powerful unit you create for a lot of resources. You allocate the stats and abilities and what have you. And they don't have to be of the good...

The early 2000's were a golden age of 8/10 RTS games. Among them Dungeon Keeper 1 and 2, Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth 1 and 2, Impossible Creatures, and the ps2 Alien vs Predator.

Yes, I have always enjoyed the combat mechanics of these games and the build crafting even if I do think they level scale too hard. My DOS 2 main has been a pure summoner up to this point, and now he has the Incarnate Champions i'm going to specialize him the rest of the way into other skills...

I've been able to more or less stay ahead of the difficulty curve by stealing everything that isn't nailed down. In both games. And it's incredibly entertaining, not tedious at all. In the first you can get rich really quick. It's more balanced in the second, but very helpful at the start of new...

I'm currently running Divinity: Original Sin 1 and 2 at the same time. I have never beaten either, and got filtered mostly through my lack of skill at the systems more than anything else (seriously, level scaling is absolutely brutal in this series). Surprisingly, both runs are going very well...

This idea still has merit even with a lone summon. You will want the "Wall" spells like Wall of Ice, Stone, Force. Throw a wall of fire into the entryway and use a fire elemental to guard for a little extra spice. This creates a chokepoint for your elemental to guard the entryway. Then you can...

Yes, you get your backstab damage from attacking from behind. Or if they are stunned/paralyzed. Even if you aren't a psionic, if you chose Telepathy as a wild talent you get improved invisibility and ego whip (1D6 turns of stun), always useful for your thief.

You can look at your buffs on the character menu screen, and they will show up in your combat statistics as well if you have buffs up. What is your elemental sphere for your cleric? Fire clerics have enough nukes that they stay interesting, but yes, at the end of the day clerics are inferior...
