I'm not quite sure what to make of the Red Dragon Disciple prestige class in NWN:HotU. I'm thinking of taking 5 levels of *something* and then adding 20+ levels of RDD to play through the SoU & HotU story arc (ending at the 25-28 level range), but I can't quite make out how this class should be ...

It's been years since I played DS1, but I just finished DS2 and while I'm waiting for Broken World to come in the mail I figured I'd dust this game off and give it another try.

So, in DS2, so long as you have a spell or weapon selected of the correct type, you'll gain the same experience in battle ...

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between the various Attack Speeds? I'm trying to calculate DPS to decide which weapons are better than others in the early part of the game.

[ Edit: For those interested, I found what I was looking for here: http://www.siegenetwork.com/q?dir=Sections&req ...

I just started Veteran difficulty for the first time and one thing in particular caught my attention right off the bat. When I completed a side-quest ("The Armorer's Apprentice"), I got the same exact reward as I did in Mercenary difficulty! Level 1 armor won't be much use to my Level 43 party. I ...

I just finished Merc. with 4x Melee (3x Two-Handers with max Whirling Strike and 1x Dual Wielder with max Elemental Rage...just so I had some magic damage if I came across physical immunities; I'll probably add another DW for Veteran to add more magic damage and to spread out the aggro a bit)...and ...

Thanks so much for the reply KillerGremal! Yeah, I realized that what I was hoping for was either very easy or overly tedious to the point of impossibility depending on how the loot system worked and how items were defined and tagged by the game. Thanks for the good info and your work in this area ...

I thought I read somewhere that someone had put together a DS2 mod that made sure item drops (even uniques & sets) were close to your or your party's average character level...but I'm not sure what it was called or where to find it.

Also, is there a similar mod that would only drop items for the ...

Ah....forgot all about Compatibility Mode (been ages since I had to use it). In my case, I had to "CM" the Setup.exe file on the CD to get it to install and then "CM" the shortcut in my Start Menu to play the game. Works like a charm, thanks!

Most argue that increasing the survivability of "mage" pets is better that trying to increase their offensive potential because they all tend to be pretty weak in that area compared with hirelings. AFAIK, the Ice Elemental's power freezes baddies in place just as well regardless of his INT, so ...

Okay, I got the DOS version installed and can run it, but audio is non-functional. The sound config program can't find my sound card and the options listed for manually selecting your card & settings are...well...archaic. Anyone have a work-around?

So, reading is obviously not my strong suit since I ordered the Fallout Bundle (1 & 2, but not Tactics) which was only meant for Windows 95/98 or DOS...not Windows XP. So, of course, when I go to install the game I just get a message asking me if I want to installed DirectX 3a and then a black ...

A few times now I've leveled up a mage or matured a pet to find a new buff available from a power, spell, or aura. I find myself saying, "Hey, that would be pretty cool...*if* my party had this-or-that." For instance, a buff for both +Lightning & +Ice makes me wish I'd not specialized my mages in ...

Nah, it's things like Staggering Blow and Staggering Kick that are particularly problematic for me.

Two things keep cropping up that really keep me from enjoying this fine game as much as I could.

1. The game does not pause during unsolicited NPC dialogue. So many times a quest-related NPC or one of my party members decides to chit-chat with me right as I'm about to get pounced on by a bunch of ...

Thanks very much!

I've seen listings similar to this:

Amren:
Starting Levels:
Mercenary 20 (Ranged 20)
Veteran 48 (Ranged 48)
Elite 71 (Ranged 71)

But I've noticed that even when you pick up an early henchman like Lothar, he has a few default skills already selected, as well as a pre-determined amount of skill ...

(Re: Diablo 1) Having my backpack half full of gold is not helpful. Is there a place I can stow my loot? Can I just drop it on the ground in town and expect it to be there when I come back? Or is it possible to leave it somewhere handy in the dungeon to come back for later? Or...will it all despawn ...
