    Yes, they released a day 1 patch. It includes (a beta of?) the Dungeon Master Client, so it was definitely a welcome release..

    I am so addicted to this game already.

    But one problem: Warlocks don't seem to have their magic item ability. Maybe I'm trying it wrong though...


    Oh and a note for cheaters:
    ~ DebugMode 1 still works
    You can also type commands in to see a list of commands including things like:
    givefeat [feat ID]
    For this 944 is brew potion. You can find it in the toolset

    You know. It runs pretty well on my machine and I only meet minimum reqs. I'm a happy Joe.....that being said. I can't wait for some great online play with some pws.

    I wonder if anyone will create a OotS pw. That would be fun.

    Hey!

    The fact sheet at NWN Vault ( http://nwvault.ign.com/faq/index.php?category=8#8_1_3 ) says that NWN 2 will install on your system. However, it's recommended requirements are so high (Nvidia 6800 or better) that it probably won't run well. You'll have to turn off as many graphical features as you can to achieve playable framerates.

    So, basically, it'll run, but it'll look like crap? What level of crap, though? That's a good question. If it's not too bad, I could live with it until I get a new computer. Still....

    Like I said earlier. I meet the bare minimum of requirements. I still think it runs semi-smoothly on my computer. I played it for 4 hours last night with no problems what so ever. Sure the FPS are kind of shoddy but I still think it runs well.

    I've got it installed on my laptop (no linux support [yet] and I don't want to boot into Windows just to play, as good as the game is). I don't know the specs of it off the top of my head, but it's certainly not top of the line, the game runs fine after I turn off a few of the fancier graphical options.

    Even if it doesn't take kindly to your 5200, a better card than that will be relativley short money.

    Question. What can I update to? Obviously, with the 5200, I've got a PCI port, but no PCI express. Aside from that, I've got absolutely no clue on cards. I just play games, or try to.

    Are you sure it's PCI? Quite likely you have AGP. If that is the case you could go as high as a 7800GS, pretty much the best card around these days.

    I have a 6800GS, and it runs NWN2 very well. And pretty much anything else.

    Pretty sure it's a PCI. Any way to find out without opening the computer up?

    According to the internet, there are both pci and agp models of the 5200.

    If you open up your computer to find out, an agp slot is usually off-set from the pci slots (closer to the edge). here's a picture for reference:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:AGP_slot.jpg

    If it is PCI, your options are slightly more limited, though chances are you have an agp slot even if you aren't using it.

    Would anyone here have any idea on how to make custom classes? Right now I'm playing around with the classes .2da file, and need to now what the "Name", "Plural", and "lower" fields mean.
    edit: oh and the description as well. I'm guessing they refer to another .2da file?

    Something I've been wondering about as well, there is a topic about it on the main NWN2 forums.

    I believe it is in the dialog.tlk file, but you'd want to make a custom one. Which I have no idea how to do.
    EDIT: From reading the forums it seems that custom TLK's are not functioning properly but will be fixed next patch.

    Wow.

    Fun fun, I like the game (especially the crazy dwarf) although I have found two problems I hope will be patched or modded:

    My machine can run Oblivion well on medium to high settings and struggles horribly on the absolute lowest NWN2 modes :x... (anyone had this problem apart from me? I'm talking under 10 fps)

    The interface... bring back my radial menus! And the text boxes are horrible, it would be much better if you could move them and change what appeared in each one.


    Well, other than that I love it, and it looks awesome even on the lowest settings. And the quickcast menu definately more than makes up for haveing to click through the quickslots instead of shift/ctrl.
    I mean, who has more than ten non-caster things they will want at a moments notice, especially considering the modes (parry, sneak) and bard songs have their own little toolbar
    Save vs GM powered thunderbolt!

    Ok, by the looks of things I could throw natural twenties on Will Saves and still be forced to keep playing this game.

    I must admit I'm not really a fan of the interface; I think it's too clunky and slow. It's nice that we can finally control party members and all that because the character AI is absolutely dire (and not in the sense that it's vicious, dangerous and magically enhanced). Spellcasters don't seem to get the idea that casting fireball on a heavily wounded goblin surrounded by the rest of the party is probably not the best plan.

    Does anyone else find the dramatic irony of the storyline frustrating?

    As usual, Cr*psfire butchers the FPS something awful so best turn that off. (Does that answer your question, Soniku?)

    indiana: Get a pestle and mortar, find alchemical crafting components, skill up Craft Alchemy and use said pestle and mortar on the components. Read descriptions to see if you have a crafting component and what skill level of CA you need.

    To be honest, finding the right gems means that magic crafting is strictly niche. It might be worthwhile if the damn shops didn't run out of money.
