I AM A HUGE FAN OF Baldurs Gate Series..so i have NWN&ES:Morrowind&...about 3 months...what shuld i play first...help me decide...i was thinking NWN

MERRY CHRISTMAS&A HAPPY NEW YEAR,Xen

Merry Christmas back at ya', Xen!

I am currently playing NWN (the included quest), and have enjoyed it so far. The one true difficulty I have had with it is that there is just one player character (and sometimes a henchman...and maybe a familiar or summoned creature depending on your class). The fact is that the game seems difficult to play unless you are interested in taking more than one character class, and is even more difficult if you try to go it alone ie-without henchman, etc. But then again, as one of the MODS (can't remember who,sorry) pointed out, this is NOT Baldur's Gate III: A Trip Up North; it is a different game and intended to be so. Don't expect to find things exactly as you had them in BG series and you'll probably have a lot of fun.

Slater........

I've been thinking of getting this game too. Had pool of radiance ruins of myth drannor, but too many bugs actually kept me from getting further in the game. Save games becoming corrupt....game freezing during saves and such...is this more similar to baldurs gate or POR-ROMD....

As a huge fan of the BG series also, I would say NWN doesn't really compare to the Baldurs Gate series at all.

1- NWN is too linear, it's very much go here, kill this, now go there.
I didn't like this.

2- Only one player character, I didn't like this aspect either. Made battles very hard.

Overall it reminded me of a console RPG, I didn't even finish it.

It was more like Pools of Radiance than BG, but less buggy than POR!.

I would say buy Might and Magic 7 or something similar.

PS, I didn't rate Icewind Dale 2 either, too linear also.

Yep, NWN is linear. It was designed that way: as a single player hack-and-slash. It bears some similarities to BG series, but is also different. Depends entirely on what you're looking for in a game.

Just remember, NWN was designed as a multiplayer game. That's were it shines. There and in your ability to create your own mods, or download thousands of other mods.

It's great. Different from the BG series, but great.

i found the henchman to be extremly useful in the 1st two chapters but after that he just dies and my guy is pratically invincible anyway [img]tongue.gif[/img] most of the time i dont even bother taking the henchman along and if he dies i carry on regardless. Against the bosses hes useful for soaking a few of their hits and doing a bit of damage but power wise now hes not even close to my guy (lvl 14 fighter)

::nods at Grungi:: I know what you mean about henchmen losing their usefulness after the first couple of chapters---even my druidess pretty much just anihilates the bad nasties without help from other than her companions/summoned creatures!

I suppose I shouldn't answer this as I have absolutely no use for Morrowind...but Septfox tells me that Morrowind is quite a good game. Personally, I prefer games such as the BG series and NWN, but *shrugs* each to their own.

morrowind is superb, very non-linear and a class game, just gets a bit tiresome after a while (a long while [img]tongue.gif[/img] )
