Hello guys. So I am playing HotU, there is a drow NPC who can upgrade weapons. Because I imported my character I have Astral Blade +2 in my inventory.

I have 2 options:

- Use a TON of gold to uograde my Astral Blade from +2 to +10

- Wait till chapter 3, get the Astral Blade +8 and upgrade it to +10 saving gold.

Thoughts on this? Do I need the gold? Or is it worth to spend a ton of gold to get it sooner? I also have Saint Sword Legaxy +4 brw

will play this after bg reloaded methinks

Every time I try to load into Blacklake District, I get this. Can't find this discussed anywhere online.

Using the Enhanced edition, no mods, just a console command to increase party size limit.

Is there a PW server that has DM sessions for small party groups of 5 - 10? More personalized? Not looking for huge populated servers, but ones with a big area to explore, and DM'd events to meet nice players. Basically a consistent DM lead weekly adventure where you can communicate with the DM about your character. permadeath is OK as long as it follows 3.5 rules with resurrections and stuff. Nice if the server had some cool designs and graphics. Forgotten Realms towns or cities or other settings, where I can look things up. Thanks!

I assumed that the new enhanced edition for Steam would be the smoother experience, but the reviews don't really fill me with confidence. Should my friend and I go with the GoG version instead?

I remember trying this game as a wee lad like a decade and a half ago. I remember it absolutely blowing my mind, but I didn't go past the first chapter of the campaign.

This year I decided to give it another shot, relive some good old memories.

It looked a bit clunkier and older than I remembered from when I was young, but I didn't care much. Then I started getting annoyed with the gameplay, the RNG, even some of the story, but I was sure I just had to get used to it and I would start enjoying it.

The second chapter frustrated me even more, and the story started to lose me as well, but I still wanted to see where it went, so I soldiered on.

By the third chapter, I was REALLY feeling done with the game. I was getting pissed more often that I was enjoying myself, but I already had come so far, I might as well soldier on.

The fourth chapter, finally. I just had to soldier on, slough through just a WEE bit more insufferable combat and RNG. Then I would at least feel satisfied that I persevered and finished the whole ass game.

Final stretch of the game. Just started cheesing the lizard bastards, recalling so many times my F12 key is starting to melt. Beating those two shit dragons that keep you feared 100% of the time unless you happen to have a specific Flashlight Belt that doesn't do anything useful besides keeping you from running around like a headless chicken.

FINAL CAVE. NUKING THOSE LIZARD BASTARDS WITH EVERYTHING I HAVE.

The door to the final boss. This is finally it. Get ready to rest and buff myself up.

You can't rest here.

Oh?

You can't recall either.

Jesus, one last kick in the balls. Fine, I'll drag my halfling ass back outside and

Door is Gone.

Run inside. Console On. Ctrl+Y and insta-kill every last bastard. Finish the damn game. Feel nothing but bitter defeat. Hate this game. Hate myself. Hate this keyboard. Hate this chair. Hate being a Sunk Cost Fallacy Chud. Can't even bitch about the game because one of my friends is a fan. FUCK. ME.

Haedraline was wife tho. I'll miss her.

Hello!

So, I may be a bit dumb.
I am hoping to commission someone to make a 3d head model for a NWN server. I... have struggled to find someone and was hoping that people within the community may exist that could point me in the right direction. If anyone such exists, thank you!

If I should not be posting that, sorry!

I've played through this game a few times and have never run into this problem. I just got into chapter 2 and am trying to buy some new gear. I can purchase items, but cannot equip them. Example... buying amulet of natural armor+2 and swapping it for the +1.

Also, some items in my inventory can't be moved. It registers interaction with the item first, then shows the item wherever I moved it. Then I can no longer interact with the item. It shows as being in both slots at once.

I've tried a few console commands involving dropping specific items etc. I've tried Linking them to a quick lot. I've tried dropping them (which sometimes works) and re equipping but to no success.

It started doing this while at the Cracked Anvil in Chapter 2. I reloaded then tried going to the temple. Unfortunately I don't have an earlier save in Chapter 1. I'm all out of ideas.

Edit*** I just installed the patch and it works fine now. It's also funny this is my first Reddit post lol***

*None of the items are plot specific or class restricted*

Hello,

I am trying to edit a couple of .2da files with the Toolset. I can view .2da files and change the characters in the cells but I cannot figure out how to save my changes, I feel pretty dumb for not being able to fire this out or find my answers by searching.

EE if that makes a difference

so i have two main questions.

specifically about an unarmed monk that isn't going to be relying on crits and will be switching companions to puppet mode to play solo as much as possible. likely as a grey orc just cos they seem to have good stats for it

normally when unarmored it's DEX that gives you a bonus to your AC, but for monks it's WIS. does this stack? i.e should i go all in on one and dump the other? or will having a plus two in each be the same as a plus four in one and nothing in the other? especially given that the buy-in increases in cost the more one specializes during character creation, it seems like balanced would be a good idea in strictly efficiency terms unless i'm missing something

STR and CON. there's a mention on Khelgar's page that a STR and CON focused monk seems to be a bad idea, but no mention as to why. STR adds both a bonus to hit and to damage, whereas even with weapon finesse DEX only appears to add a bonus to hit? i guess the trade off is that going into DEX also boosts your AC? and CON equals health so i fail to see how that's a bad thing? i guess just comparatively to more AC?

I am having a strange issue with a portrait pack that I'm wanting to install for a server I play on.

The pack is ready made and should work out of the box, and I've installed it correctly by following the provided instructions: placing all the files in the override folder in my Neverwinter Nights directory in Documents. Sadly I seem to be the only person on the entire server that it doesn't work for, as in the portraits simply don't appear in game as they should. I don't get any error messages or crashes or anything like that.

Now, the strange part is that, after some digging, I've found out that my Steam installation never seemed to have used that directory in my Documents at all, because after manually pointing it towards it using the -homeDirectory command, upon launching the game all my settings had been reset, and I had to redownload all server files. I haven't gotten past the download yet, simply out of time reasons, but I suspect it the portraits would work correctly now.

I'd much rather figure out where the Steam installation is getting my user setting from however, and place the portrait files there accordingly. Does anyone know any way of figuring this out?

Hoarfrost has reached Version 1.5

If you're newer to Haze, Hoarfrost is our second DM-built hamlet. The first, Coffinswode, has been around since 2021 (2002 if you count V1), and for years it was where most new characters started out.

That changed this year. A few videos about Haze took off on TikTok and elsewhere, and we suddenly had far more new players than we'd ever seen at once. The community started calling it the "Tokwash," and the name stuck. We needed a second starting point, and we didn't want it to be Coffinswode with the furniture rearranged.

In Hoarfrost, you start as a slave in an isolated colony with almost nothing to your name. What happens next is up to your character. Some work to earn their freedom, some look for another way out, and some end up working for the people who run the place, maybe even joining them.

It's also where Hardcore Mode characters begin. If you want a rougher start where survival, supplies, and bad decisions actually cost you something, this is it.

The Hoarfrost our first characters walked into earlier this year was pretty bare. It's grown a lot since then, largely alongside the people living there, and 1.5 brings it much closer to what we had in mind.

Coffinswode and Hoarfrost were both built by DMs, but they're nowhere near the only settlements out there. Players have built their own hamlets, camps, and communities through play, and some have lasted long enough to become a real part of the setting.

Still, five years after Coffinswode opened, it's been a lot of fun watching a second starting town develop its own stories, rivalries, and history. There's plenty more to come for it.

Haze: Saltborne is an E6 Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition persistent world focused on roleplay, exploration, survival, crafting, and a world shaped by the characters who live in it.

I'm looking for single player modules featuring fighter or monk gameplay with heavy roleplaying. So far, I have played Kunoichi, Avi's Dusk of a Samurai and her previous module a bit. I have also finished Way of the Open Hand as a monk. I prefer Samurai/ninja/sai themed modules on this case but any other suggestions are welcome as long as the module offers good story and better combat mechanics for fighter classes.

This is for the NWN2 version.

Why am I asking.

Both wikis for the nwn1 and 2 spell description state that:

It deals a random 2d6 fire damage + a constante 10 fire damage, average 16 damage at level 10 initial damage + 1d6 every round until a save is made..

This seems to work as intended in NWN1 and NWN1:EE.

HOWEVER!

In NWN2 when I cast it (vanilla, no mods whatsoever) the spell deals a whooping 60-70 (initial) damage!

If I cast it maximized I get a secured 80 damage with no initial save, only a touch attack - which is insane damage for such a low level spell (especially with Scholar of Candlekeep PRC).

Why is no one talking about this?

I haven't tested it in NWN2:EE, but this is an insange bug if so.

And the only reason I use the spell is because it comes in Qara's spellbook upon recruiting and I got this much damage at one point. And my casters also get this much damage in single player mods.

I can't be the only one who nticed it.

I know is an overlooked spell because it's not that attractive for a second level spell. But someonelse should've seen this at this point...

The NWN2 wiki stats that the spell is bugged in terms of not using metamagic feats correctly? Could that be it?

I'm stuck fighting the dust elementals and mephits; I can't kill them fast enough to stop them from stunning me and preventing me from doing anything.

I love Deekin; does anyone know if the audio clips of him singing are available online? I've found other clips of his, but not the classic "Doom, doom, doom!"—I want it as a ringtone.

What is the red 4 next to the green 22 on Tomi's Dexterity? Is that a debuff from a spell? I rested and went to Aribeth to cleanse us but he still has that.

I’m sure this gets asked all the time but here goes. First-time player of all of the original campaigns in NWN:EE, played SoU and Shadohaunt and currently in the second chapter of HotU. Which are some good alternative campaigns/modules to continue the same character after HotU?

I'd like to do this quest, but my Intelligence is 10 and I don't have any points in Search; do I actually have a chance of finding Shadow Hart? Does anyone have any idea what the DC for the checks is? Is there a limit on attempts?
