I'm confused, I thought I knew NwN2 quite well (not as well as scottg, but then again, who does?), but I don't know what a trade bar is. I know this does nothing to clear your issue, but I'm curious, what's a trade bar?

That's exactly what weapon finesse does. It's not the greatest feat, no, unless you are going for a dex build, which, all things considered, aren't exactly top dogs. You're probably better off increasing STR and putting on bigger armor, unless you're going for a arcane caster, since THAT doesn't get ...

Here's the article: http://tevisthompson.com/on-videogame-reviews/
This is a very interesting position on Bioshock: Infinite, and a broader reflection on the role of critical discourse and reviews in the videogame industry. More interestingly, to me, it also touches on themes of ideology and ...

Money is an issue in HotU. Buying things is expensive. I doubt you can make 1 keen, max electrical damage, +10 enhancement weapon let alone 2.
Really? Weird. I always have enough money to enchant, at least, two weapons, possibly three. I go acid damage, keen, +10. I usually swap the acid damage ...

Dual wield in HotU has the problem that you have to pay enchants to two weapons.

Money, however, like in most RPG's is no object. Don't use XP for something you can get with money is kind of a golden rule of RPG-playing, isn't it? And that's usually because you'll have tons more than ...

(...) 27 DD 15: devestating critical
(...) devestating critical !!!.
Now, scottg could probably correct me on this, but my thinking is that, if you're going the dev crit route, a scimitar (or kukri, but scimitar is cheaper + more damaging), is the optimal weapon choice. Admittedly, dual-wield ...

Katana.
I'm curious, why? They all have the same base damage (1-10, 5,5 average), the same critical damage bonus (19-20/x2 in bastard sword and katana comes to 1,10 damage multiplier over time, same as x3 for the dwarven waraxe). I understand one may prefer more frequent criticals over more ...

I restarted Skyrim, played less than 20 hours, and I'm already fed up again with it. It's so terribly bland, boring & shallow. It's pretty, and it's vast, I'll give it that. But all the vastness in the world isn't worth anything if it isn't filled. I just finished The Witcher 2 for the second time ...

Thanks for the link, but it would break immersion for me, i.e. too much metagaming. It's not that Arcanum is THAT hard.
A tech run? A GUN tech run? It's not hard, as in, Wizardry 7 hard, but it ain't easy either. For the record, it's one of the most difficult tasks I've completed in a game. I ...

Well, off the top of my head (it's been a couple months since my last playthrough), you shouldn't miss the bullets schematic (at any gunshop, as far as I remember), and both the eschematics at the ruins of Vendigroth (Vendigroth thingies rule, after all, +1 stats and a crazy good gun, Droch's ...

Seems to me like you want the unofficial patch (Basic). No option for telling Heather to stay indoors, as far as I know, but that conflicts with your "no changes" policy, as it is a pretty big change right there. The True Patch... Well, it works, and gets things done, but, in my experience, is a bit ...

Fighter 4 should be enough for epic weapon spec, BUT you need to take it at a fighter level. You can, however, take both weapon spec (as a general feat), and EWS (as a fighter feat) if you take fighter 4 at a level where you'd get a general feat, like, for instance 36 (although I don't really ...

On a cursory overview, I don't think you can take EWS on a Dwarven Defender level, only on fighter or (which is probably a bug) CoT levels, so you'd have to switch epic toughness and EWS.
Other than that, I don't see so many levels in cleric as a good choice, specially if you don't have travel ...

Whatever you do, have fun!

Yup! You're right. So, Pewter Shard, a grey Earth Genasi is alive and kicking ass! Wish me luck!

:eek: WTF? ..how did I end up here..

Oh. :D

Sorry for summoning you, but building tips were needed, and us mere mortals count on you to deliver :p

Sort of like this:

I cast "summon Scottg"! (Kidding, kidding, any advice wherever it comes would be nice)

I'm creating a new char to go through Neverwinter Nights 2 and MotB, and I'm thinking I'll create another fighter (my feinter gnome bard ended up being a pretty enjoyable experience, by the way). Now, I want ...

Are all 3D games a problem, or only ones with certain camera types (like over the shoulder or first person perspective)? A lot of newer games (like Torchlight 2 and Path of Exile) are in 3D, but they're presented like 2D games.

If it has to be a 2D game, then Diablo 2 might be your best bet. It's ...

I dunno if this is the best place to post this, but here goes:
Well, here's the thing: my girlfriend is spending a couple months abroad for work-related issues. Since being apart for so long is kind of a downer, we decided we'd at least spend some time gaming together, so as to keep in touch, as ...

Those of you who know me outside of GB may know I'm a bit of a linguaphile.

Now, is there a good way to find out in how many spoken languages any game was published? I can't seem to find a solid source on it. Wikipedia usually doesn't mention, unless there's something interesting to it. Amazon ...

You have to gain a level first, there isn't a fixed level. Are you playing the original Baldur's Gate or Tuto or Baldur's Gate Trilogy?
It's Icewind Dale, actually. He mentions it in the original post, and this is the Icewind Dale forums. Baldur's Gate isn't the only Infinity Engine franchise, you ...
