Why is there another huge thread? Should I just combine the two? Would make sense.

I made my way to the Mountain, which has a dragon and Giants there.

That was an amazing quest. I really loved it. Especially that dragon battle.

Hey how is that 1.05 patch treating you?

That would work for me.

You could combine THIS THREAD w/ this threads:
NWN2 Huge Thread


EDIT:
Well, y'all beat me to the merge w/ the Huge NWN2 Thread merge

Y'all could merge this thread into it, too.
Another Thread

Yeah, that wasn't much of an option for me.. I had to to duke it out with both of them since neither would side with me! Damn bug! Either way I wallopped the dragon and ravaged the giants.. Ok I came out of each fight barely alive, but I did it damn it!

Yeah, I came out of most of the Chapter 3 fights in NWN2....barely. Usually, w/ one party member conscious -- and w/ barely any health. That's what happened w/ the dragon and giant battle; and the battle w/ the Lizardmen clan in Highcliff.

I'm lovin' NWN2 a lot, but damn -- can we have better technical performance from *this* game engine?
Am I askin' for much here....?

Regardless, I'm lookin' forward to the expansion.

Oh, BTW -- BETA Patch 1.06 is now released for NWN2.
That's good -- so Final Patch 1.06 for NWN2 should be comin' out soon, then...

Not bad.

Hopefully the engine fixes in the expansion will really boost performance. Although I'd hope the patches help as they roll in.

Agreed.

Even more so, I agree.

I'll give Obsidian credit -- they recognize problems w/ their game in even interviews and are often banking out patches for NWN2; and often,these patches add some worthwhile features.

Kudos to Obsidian -- just keep it up.

I hope they're granted the resources to support the game as much as they'd like to. Now that I've read more of Obsidian's feedback I get the impression that there's so much they want to do, but little time and resources to accomplish it all. I respect them for standing by their product and acknowledging the flaws.

I do agree, even if it means "forever" (hopefully not taking "Forever" like "Duke Nukem") until their next game comes out! :P

That's what it seems like, yeah.

I ain't finished NWN2: Original Campaign yet, but from what y'all say about the ending, it seems like the game was really cut-off at a "cliffhanger point" in the full story, as if they picked a cut-off point b/c they had to get the game out the door...

That's what DS2 felt like. The ending was like, "Okay....this is the end??!?!" Same goes for the end of Gothic 2, as well. Sometimes I wonder about some of these RPG's, w/ the way they ending them -- it's as if they run out of time designing them, so they find a chop-off point in the story and then decide they will continue it and finish the story with an Expansion.

Agreed 100%.

The "Two Dragons" Side Quest Battle, if you want to do Nolalath (spelling?) a "favor"

I'm doin' the Defending The Keep stuff -- which has been awesome, though in-game framerate performance is not-so-hot....

EDIT -- May 19, 2007:
I made it up to The Three Reavers battle. This battle is -- how should I put this?
Yeah, it's ridiculous.

EDIT -- May 20, 2007:
YES!!! Defeated Garius and his minions in an awesome battle.

Next up, King of Shadows battle...

EDIT #2 -- May 20, 2007:
Damn, that King of Shadows kicks my ass, every time....I'm lucky if I get him to Injured status.
Tough bastard.

MyD finally finished this thing, having one really long and tough battle w/ that King of Shadows.

The ending, some things were settled...
Though, some things were not....
