Anti climax
The final chapter of NWN had been the best. A good plot reaching a climax, entering morags inner sanctum after facing double dragons had been at last a challenge worthy of the moniker D&D rather than the hack and slash of previous chapters. Expectation had been building, being unable to rest just before her throne room added yet more spice, no stone of recall either. Fending of the elders in the first stages of the throne room was a headache but still far from impossible.
Once I was able to cross the divide to her throne the problem of how to deal with her guardians was next, but with Morag all over me like a bad rash I retreated away with Morag in hot pursuit even going through closed doors to give chase to me. I finally reached the dead end only to see my companion, thought dead, Linu La'neral restored and ready to occupy Morag while I took some healing potions.
Taking a gamble I rushed back to the throne while the unhurtable Morag and the constantly respawning Linu presumably kept each other occupied in a catfight. This left the way wide open to knock off the companions one by one at my leisure not to hard to work out with no one attacking you. With four to go and searching my inventory for the means to kill one more I notice fire and brimstone erupting all around me! Yep lo and behold it was all over, all as I was hunting in my backpack, no last minute speeches, no tottering on the edge of the abyss, no final swing of my acid drenched sword into her heart, no nothing…..just a step through a suddenly appearing portal and anti climax here we are… Sigh..
I hope the ending was better for you [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img]
