How many times have you beat the MotB OC?

[Satoshi]

I played through the Original Campaign some fifteen times, and I've currently beaten the MotB campaign four times. Good stories, though the 'epicness' of MotB is completely laughable, as no gnoll, let alone Red Wizard (students and lowly instructors, no less) are nearly that powerful. If you can get over that, and just go with the story - it can be very satisfying. Particularly, the companion character in NWN2 are highly entertaining and very well-rounded. Playing through multiple times I get to see how their personalities truly are, rather than see the 'one-dimensional' aspect that can sometimes come from only seeing one side of the glass.

I agree with Machiavelli, truly truly I say to you, BG2 was awesome.
I would love to see a fanmade BG2 module for NWN2, lol

I played MoTb until I got bugged in with the souls housings..

Since then I started the OC again, but dont spend too much time on it...

I tend to play these games until the power level of the characters gets ridiculous, and then I get bored. That usually happens around level 15 or so for me. Also, the loot that they give out is silly. The stories are good, but I just can't dig on the super high magic and high level stuffs.

I prefer the ...unpredictability ...of live interaction and a lower magic setting.

QFT. I played a couple of hours of the MotB campaign then shrugged and gave up. Clearly Rasheman is the land of Epicly Bad Over-powered Under-balanced FX Spam Generating Mega-Badguys with Hitpoints and Immunities Out the Wazoo (TM).

The problem's really with D&D (RE: level system) and I don't doubt Obsidian did the best they could.

My only real motivation to try again is to see more of the areas. But then again, I can do that through the toolset.

I played through both campaigns once through. They aren't bad, though the originals ending was horrid.

Generally pretty good. I like the MP a lot more though, hope they are able to get that multi-server stuff out and more support for the DM client and PWs.

I played it for the 5 minutes required to figure out that it would never be the likes of BG2... Then went back to playing online.

The campaigns in NWN/NWN2 seem like afterthoughts tacked onto the engine...

Nothing will ever beat the Baldur's Gate series when it comes to D&D computer games...

I remember, a long time ago, when there was actually a long advertisement clip on the mainstream french TV channels in Quebec about Baldur's Gate, a D&D computer game, coming-soon with... . I was like "woooaahh...", never having seen any video game advertisement on TV before (even World of Warcraft was never advertised in french where I live, heh).

One time. Just to see the story and how it all unfolds. Still have done nothing with the new races/classes. MP is by far more entertaining for me than solo.

One time. If i want to see the other endings and the such, i simply use cheats to change my alignment around and load some saves that were not too long back ago. I'm not restarting just to get a little bit more of the plot. No way. I enjoyed MotB.The only RPG i played twice was Fable;TLC and NwN:HotU.

I would love to see a fan made BG2 for NWN2 myself. The problem I see if the sheer effort needed to make it. It would take a _long_ time go get it all put together, maybe with a large team of 14 - 15 people working 8 hours a day for 5 days, maybe three or four months.

Sorry--but BG2 is a large game. And trying to produce a fan-made one is just not economical. Though sadly it is mostly the fan-made stuff which has the most heart poured into.

I'd love to see BG1, BG2, and hell, NWN1 original campaigns (remade better of course and multiplayer functional)

I think I remeber going through the OC once, I definately remeber my party being wiped out acouple of times and I had to reload from very earlier saves (Yes, very annoying and sad for me to load after party died).

Was quiet funny how my party died, who would've thought being swarmed by sneak attacks that rogues would kill off every one of my party members...Rogues are no pushovers and they are certainly not weak, don't know why people keep saying they are underpowered.

well if you're getting swarmed by any class then they tend not to be pushovers, but in general rogues hold a circumstantial place in combat IMO because it can be hard to fend for yourself and your forte (sneak attack) is undermined by many creatures. However, rogues have a broad spectrum of specialties so i'm sure anyone would argue they're not pushovers anyway.

Barely touched MotB. Made a char and realised that playing a char that starts at a high level holds no fun for me. I like the process of working out your play style over a number of levels as spells and feats are gained. Just having a load of stuff dumped on you is unsatisfying. Then I fired up MP and was happy.

The NWN series OCs have never held much interest for me anyway. Mostly due to the easy of them. The BG and IWD games were very difficult at points and you really had to put a good strategy together to advance. I forced myself to complete the NWN2 OC but I can't really think of a bit that caused me any real problems or made me think. The times I died was usually when I ran into battle to find that my party were standing still at some point on the map staring at the wall!

[undeadsteak]

Yeah, one of the most annoying things was everyone was throwing spells left and right that was epic.


My thought was..


Why didn't the swordcoast get a couple of red wizards and kick the crap out of the King Of Shadows? >>.

[lostre]

I forced myself to play half the NWN2 OC and when MoTB came out I played it until after you get the Spirit bear.


they both are a disgrace to the genre of CRPGs imo.

esp. with the OC I felt like it was written very hastily, although MoTB clearly had more effort put in it (still sucked though)

but I didnt buy the game for the OC.

as for Baldurs gate, Im sure theres a team working on BG 1 remake. I cant wait to play it when it gets released.

[rustediron]

come on ppl, let's make a team and make bg2 >.<
