Other than minsc as an NPC... Hrmmm scratches chin..
don't put treasure where it does not belong, such as a sack of gold in a wine barrel or a scroll in the pantry.. Beef up boss treasure and cut way back on barrel here chest their crap--It makes no sense. Make casters much harder of melee chars and melee chars much harder for casters, lets pretend a 15 lvl sorcerer has some protection in place for god sakes. Right click drop from inventory that does not make an droping animation that takes forever.. kinda like spitting out gum I don't make a production out of it ^_^

I'd like a better ending in the single player campaign. If even the abysmally lame TOB can give you three endings, why not NWN?

I'd like henchmen to have better AI - I think the idea of having them almost like another person in multiplayer where you can't control what they do except very superficially have their own battle tactics is good, but when I tell Sharwyn to use ranged weapons I would have liked to specify change to melee if monsters are attacking that way, or have her change automatically. And also I'd like to be able to give them items as well.
Also I would have liked to move the camera angle a little further down. And yes! Have big bosses have more treasure. And have more really good items to be found rather than bought. I worked out yesterday that the only things I use that I have found adventuring is my longsword, dagger and bow, and my belt. Everything else I've found is inferior to anything I can buy (eg armour etc).

That is true, O goddess. ( Piestrider made me put that in ). My paladin is wearing Red Dragon Scale, which I found, but that is the only thing that he carries that was not bought or had made.

I'm going to follow up with Aelia's comments on henchmen.
Additional nice things for henchmen. The party has a common pool of potions. You can't use a potion off the hotbar on a henchman, so they need to be able to access my potions. Also, the option to give them some gear, like a ring of regeneration. Finally, some sort of retreat or pull back command, to get them out of harms way. Additionally, when I play a tank character, during a long combat, my character continuously backs up, until the henchman is in range, and the boss turns on them and kills them in two or three shots. I should be able to stand ground in combat, instead of this constant dancing around thing. Sure, it looks more exciting, but they could make it exciting without being strategically stupid. |

Well I would like a couple of changes..
1. Better portraits, better voices. They look crappy and offer a meager selection of sounds... :S 2. Better AI and/or control over henchmen. 3. Chainshirt to be light!!! grrrowl 4. I would like to have the clerics redone completely. More like the 3:ed ruleset actually, and where the Gods are presented clearer. 5. I would also like to see a way to get to use for example a way to wield the bastard sword twohanded.. (Whiney petty things but...) 6. A different way to make your characters for singleplay at least. Let us try to roll a character, or have the choice to choose between pointbuy and rolling for example. If someone know of a way to accomplish this already, please tell me!

Most of these have been mentioned...
Better Portraits Better Voices 3D female character models without beards/goatees/mustashes (right its shadows I'm seeing ) 1st person view (sorta like DK II ) Better control over my Henchman (OPEN THE LOCK NOW IDIOT!!) Some way to equip my Henchman with better armour or tools A way to drop the camera down abit so you can see further away Being able to choose your outfit's colors like in Baldur's Gate Make opening a trapped chest worthwhile.. no more arrows *edit* And a fix for the most annoying thing in the whole game... MORE SPEECH OPTIONS FOR THE HENCHMAN!! If Tomi says "Ah I can open that easy!" or "Its Done" one more time I may just kill him myself! [ 08-06-2002, 03:49 AM: Message edited by: Wurm ]

Two things:
1. Easier customization with portraits, HakPaks etc. It's a nightmare trying to customize a portrait using Paintshop Pro etc. Customization is an important part in roleplaying. 2. Ability to change details like name, background story, etc after starting the game. Again, this is customization/personalization of character that adds to roleplaying. I'm sick of playing as Mak'Ralan Anasar online. |
