Finished original campaign - too easy?

Cienden · 06-15-2004, 06:16 PM

Is it just me, or is the original campaigh too easy? I finished it as a level 15 cleric and pretty much waltzed my way through the bulk of the game on the standard difficutly. After 5 dragons (left a sixth, gold one, alive) and 4 baalors, the end game boss was sort of a joke. After I took out one of her defences, my henchman battered her into pulp before I got a chance to even hit her.

It just seemed so ridiculously easy. I hope the expansions are harder.

The game seems to be incredibly easy as a cleric... Especially with a fighter henchman.
At least now you can play mods, or perhaps even design them. You can also consider getting the expansions... From what I hear they're much better.
No, I don't have them... My laptop at school won't run NWN, so I'm just stuck with several mods in various states of completion and memories of the OC.

Yes, I just happened to have a fighter henchmen. I had forgotten to mention that. I had him at first because my guy couldn't hit a barn starting out, and needed protection. Finally I just got used to the orc, so I just stuck with him the whole game.

I'm messing with the toolset now, and I do have the expansions, so I'll try them soon enough.

And try playing a different class [img]smile.gif[/img] It might be because of a stupid choice at the start of the game but I had quite a hard time with a solo rogue. Anyway I quit because it was too boring so I don't know how good/bad he was after level 6.

Well, the Cleric is one of the most powerful classes in the game, and with a henchman as well...

Dragonshadow · 06-21-2004, 10:39 AM

I don't like clerics because their dexterity is somewhat lacking.
Easy? It took me ages to finsih the game. I finally ended with a lv 19 barbarian = grim, and that was no easy fight.
I'd try a mage. Spells. Pow.

Cienden · 06-21-2004, 03:58 PM

Yeah maybe I'll try something else if I play it again. Right now I'm in SoU. I'm trying to get a legit "made the hard way" high level character to play EfU with.

Yes, cleric dexterity sucks. I got tired of wasting arrows so I eventually broke down and took the Zen Archery feat. Helped a bit. Dexterity was like 10 or something and my wisdom was 16 + 1 from a magic item.

Stratos · 06-22-2004, 08:19 AM

With the Clerics spells, he can fight almost as good as a Fighter alone. A Fighter/Cleric multiclass is basically a Fighter that can buff, heal, disable enemies...

Yes, Zen Archery really comes in handy for Divine Spellcasters.
