1) Do battles turn into mindless clickfests, how much strat is involved?
This really depends on your character. With a ranger, fighter, or monk, you can just click on a monster and just watch it get butchered. Occasionally you might want to put on power attack, or stunning fist or the like. Mages, thieves, clerics, a lot more strategy involved. With protective spells, and sneak attacks. You get the idea. (No backstabs though
)
2) Whats randomness factor? Monsters always in same spot? Is it possible to get a good item dropped from crap monster, or must buy or do
quests for good items?
Depends on the module. I've actually seen a goblin drop a +3 weapon lol. In the boring singleplayer mode this *ins't* going to happen *ever* [img]tongue.gif[/img] .
3) Do I need to know people with the game to enjoy online games? Once my D2 buddies quit playing, favours were few and far between.
Not at all. I just made some friends that told me they played D&D before NWN. With good old 2nd edition rules too lol.
4) Can you play same chars in multi that you played in single game?
Yes, again it depends on the server. With some servers, you *must* create a new character. With others you can just use the charaters on your cpu. The creator of the module decides. Most to my knowledge allow you to use your character.
5) Has cheating taken over the multi yet, and how will it be handled?
Nope, the closest thing to cheating i've seen is *any* mod is a bored dm with uber powerful weaponry.
Any help will be appreciated, and the games should not be limited to the ones in the forum here, but any games out there.
Thx
Multi Play is the reason to get this game, and since you enjoy that, buy it! I've heard good things about IWD2, and you're not a console gamer so i'll stop here. [img]smile.gif[/img]
