Should I play NWN or IWD2 first?

ZFR · 03-29-2003, 07:12 AM

I've played the following in the following order:

_Baldurs Gate 1
_Baldurs Gate 1 + Tales of the sword coast
_baldurs gate 2 SoA
_baldurs gate 2 SoA + Throne of bhaal
_icewind dale 1
_icewind dale 1 + heart of winter
_icewind dale 1 + HoW + trials of the luremaster

Now i've got neverwinter nights and icewind dale II. Which game should i play now? what do you suggest?

NOTE: im not asking which game is better... i have both and intend to play both... i just want to know in which order is it better to play them?

Play Neverwinter Night first because it come out first. then play IWD2 after that.

NWN, because IWDII is too hard!!!

IWDII - You're used to the look. And you play the last of the IE DnD games by BlackIsle.

I would suggest NWNs first, only because it is in the order of easiest to hardest. NWNs is challenging, but in many ways, later on in the game, easy. IWD2 though, at least for me and a few other people I know who have tried it, is MUCH tougher. I didn't really like IWD2 to tell you the truth. It was so difficult, GPs are hard to earn/find and I had trouble keeping enough potions that you have to have, because even if you have healers in your party, they run out of spells and you have nothing left, so you end up in some battles using potions, otherwise you die and have to restart the fight. Also, the overall visuals of the game is cheap. All white, no real eye candy goin on. Heck, Baldurs Gate 1 or 2 looked better visually. But I don't want to knock IWD2, I also know a few people who really like it, and have been able to conquer through it. I'm just giving my personal opinion.

Either way, NWNs is a really FUN game, you should give that a shot first I say. [img]smile.gif[/img]

The trick in Icewind Dale II is to collect all magical arrows you find. You can usually get 20k for a stack of good arrows. I once got aorund 50k with a stack. I forgot what arrows it was.
