It's Mr. Skeltal bantzing the fuck out of everyone in your party. And then he explains the plot and shit.

PS:T. It even had better gameplay because it doesn't have wonky retard 3.5 rules.
>>
>>342579383
Baruduru gatesu 2.
>>
>>342580885
But 3.5 has clearer rules than AD&D..

Or maybe I just can't THAC0 to save my life.
>>
>>342581302
Not really. 3.5 has 'clearer' rules and much more opaque interactions between them, which has a much worse effect on the game. Unlike 3E, which was intentionally filled with trap options, I can trust most things in AD&D to do what the game says they do.
>>
>>342581506
>opaque interactions between them, which has a much worse effect on the game
Can you give an example?
>>
>>342581623
Golems in 3.5 have 'spell immunity', which you think should make them immune to magic period, right? So you'd think they're supposed to be really good at shutting down spellcasters so that Fighters could shine, right?

It's actually infinite spell resistance instead of true immunity, which, in combination with their absolute fucking shit saves, leaves even the most dangerous golems vulnerable to Wizards with level 1 and level 2 spells that ignore spell resistance entirely like Grease and Glitterdust, both of which are EXTREMELY powerful spells at all stages of the game. And on the other hand? They're an absolute nightmare for a Fighter to deal with, between the the large amounts of DR they get, the large amount of damage they do in melee, and the decent HP/AC.

MoTB was alright except for the fucking water dungeon and the final chapter

Shadows of the Undrentide was my shit

At least it's not 4E which ended the Blood War. Because reasons.

How the fuck does one even end the Blood War?
>>
>>342583201
Asmodeus ascended and threw a plane at another plane.
>>
>>342582002
that always seriously bothered me
heck wizards aren't even hindered in pure damage dealing against supposedly magic immune enemies given conjuration got a crapload of direct damage spells, GOOD direct damage spells at that, which flat out ignored spell resistance

that was honestly one of the biggest issues with magic in 3.x, the desire of the creators to do away with literally every single negative aspect of spellcasting by introducing the "spell for every occasion" or the concept of concentration.

Also sort of hilarious is that the only melee classes that don't have issues with golems are the ToB ones
>>
>>342585416
>given conjuration got a crapload of direct damage spells, GOOD direct damage spells at that,
>Evocation has to deal with saves and does mediocre damage in a best case scenario because between spell resistance/elemental resistance/saves it's a crapshoot
>Conjuration gets an entire line of ranged touch attacks that can thus crit, that already do decent damage for their level, have save or lose effects as a secondary effect, AND don't have to deal with spell resistance
Fucking retarded.
>>
>>342579383
I don't care about better or worse, but the whole of neverwinter nights 2 is probably my favorite game ever.

The first one is also really good.
>>
>>342585416
God I remember people bitching about ToB because they could actually handle golems without a spellcaster babysitting them. Fuck that shit. 3.5's community is one of the worst I've ever had to deal with in all of my time playing RPGs, right up there with WoD douchebags.
>>
>>342585870
not to mention all the spells vulnerable to evasion and similar in the evocation school and the fact that conjuration in addition to those spells also has the ability to you know, conjure shit, which might very well be the single best thing to do with a spell in the entire game
>>
>>342586002
I like how the "ITS WEEABOO" angle was used so often we had to basically go and rename every single ability in the damn book to a german, french or italian equivalent from the various fencing manuals just to get some folks to accept it
>>
>>342586098
It's not like those names aren't completely ridiculous too.
>>
>>342586197
very much aware, but they're not japanese and none of them spoke enough german or italian to realize it
hypocrisy is always hilarious

never beat this as i couldn't get over how bad the 3D was in this game. they shouldve stuck with the ugly 2d3d like NWN1/BG/icewind dale.

I'm surprised they never made a game about Bane considering that Bhaal had his own series and Myrkul had MOTB. I guess you could count Icewind Dale 2, but it's more about his son.

The graphics and UI were much worse than in the Infinity Engine games. Therefore, I pick the hand-painted environments of BG 1&2 and IWD 2.

What I meant was that I hate everything about how NWN2 looks and plays, so I wouldn't want to play anything in it even if the story was great (and to be honest, I don't care for MotB's story anyway).
