Possible spoilers 1st post. Dragon and Warlock questions
Possible spoilers.....
Hey guys. I recently picked up a copy of neverwinter nights 2. Great game so far but ive been having a few problems. I check this site when i have questions , and decided to post a few.
The big red dragon by the fire giants. I attack it with energy immunity fire on all my characters. I hit my main character and khelgar with stoneskin or barkskin and regen. I stsrt fighting and one of 2 things happens. I get him real low to where i cant even see any life in his life bar...and poof he regens at a insane rate...or he just goes wild totally ignoring whatever im doing and kills all my casters.
Another problem is sometime when on my main character , ill look over to see what the casters are doing ( Elanee , Zhjaeve and jerro ) and they are either just standing there or they are meleeing. I have all my casters set up to overkill cast mode, so why the heck are they trying to melee?
Healers. I guess in this game to heal you need to take control of the healers and do it yourself? Elanee and Zhjaeve will both just cast either offensive spells or try to melee. The only time they ever throw a heal is on themselves.
Its the same in all my cast modes...overkill,power or scaled. Not sure what I am missing.
A different issue is ill run ahead and fight and sometimes they will just stant there. Ill broadcast eitherr follow me or guard me and sometimes they come... a few times 1/2 will come. Or they will all come but khelgar wont attack, he just stands there. One other problem ive had with the red dragon is ill switch to a healer to heal ...since they are all apparently on strike and i need to do everything myself... and while im on the healer the main character stops attacking. I switch back to him and he still wont attack , and cant even move. The dragon either finishes him off or lays waste to the rest of the slackers.
Since the beginning of the game ive had the issues with the npcs never healing me and the issues with everyone following me or attacking. Sometimes my ranger pet doesnt even fight ...just stands next to me as well. But never as bad as now while im tryin to fight this damn dragon.
...Almost forgot. I had 2 other issues, one worked itself out and the other ..no luck. 1st. I was having a hard time getting the construct up and running. I had the book , the water and the runes all on me , but at some point the book and runes turned up missing. I searched all over but to no avail. I Finally just talked to the bard and he would just go thru his routine of being all happy and saying he could use the item( meanwhile the book and runes were still missing). I gave up on the quest till finally after going in and out of the keep a few times out of nowhere my journal updated itself. It showed me as having the book and the water from the cave , but didnt mention the runes. A while later i talked to the bard again and the when thru his routine and poof... the construct was made. No idea how. I had the runes on my character on a previous save, but on this one i searched every bag and every character, and nada. Outta the blue the game recognized it somehow.
2. Gywhateverhisnameis of the road. Ive met him 3 times, and on the 3rd meeting i told him to come to my keep. He said ok , but he needed to do one last thing. That was the last ive seen of the little runt. The room in my keep is still empty. I am currently up to the part where i need to hit the song portal and reforge / fix the shards into the sword. My keep is all done i think with high everything, very best training,very high roads and surrounding land. Ive gotten the dancer, 2 merchants, 2 miners, ( the orc left ), Bevil, Katriona , the armorer and the weapon guy, and the dancers twin sister, the aasimar pally chick. I also have the mercenary from the true name board and the merchant in the keep...forget his name..uncus or somthing... in his little portrait he looks like doctor evil heh . Ive made all the repairs, ive built a church to tyr and Built a neverwinter nine tower. As far as i can tell the keep is pretty much finished. Its irking me that this road guy is a no show after ive done everything needed to get him. I even sent 1/5 th of my greycloaks to neverwinter to support them when they asked.
Other than the above issues, all i can say is Danm good game so far. Im having a blast with it. My current main character is a ranger 12 5 frenzied berzerker. I will have him end up being a 15 ranger / 5 berzerker. Its been a fun character so far , but im already thinking of my next build. Theres so much to choose from. Ive halted all progress in the main game untill i kill this damn dragon though.
One other set of questions. Ive played D&D since waaay back in 3rd grade ( Im 35 now ) but i havent played pen and paper versions in a long time. Some of the newer stuff is a bit confusing. Of course the most confusing thing to me is the character class that i want to try next. Warlock.
I just not sure what feats to take, or what incantations to select.
So far i have this build in mind:
Human Warlock
Chaotic good
Tymora
Strength 12
Dexterity 14
Constitution 12
Intelligence 14
Wisdom 10
Charisma 16
Prolly bring Cha to 19 and Dex to 16
No background
With my intelligence and being human , I will be able to mess around with 5
skills:
Spellcraft
Use magic device
Heal
Concentration
Intimidate or bluff
I am planning on a warlock 20 or maybe taking able learner and getting a few ranks in tumble or parry or somthing.Contemplating 2 levels of thief. Or maybe 2 thief 2 fighter the rest warlock. But not sure.
But I will keep this present build running pure.
Feats. Here I am not sure. Ive been reading a it here and there and heres what I was thinking.
1 battle caster(UMD will open up a few nice pieces of armor),spell penetration
Then I was thinking :
Toughness
Medium armor proficiency
Greater spell penetration
From here i get a little hazy..
I assume spell focus stuff doesnt work.
Combat casting..it says in the description that it works when youre in defensive casting mode. Not sure what that is.
Then theres stuff like..should i specialize in a weapon..maybe pick up dodge..or improved parry...
Id like this character to be able to melee when i either feel like it or when the enemy gets close to me.
As for the invocations...ugh im totally lost.
I was thinking leaps and bounds
Eldritch spear ...not sure about the darkness one.
I also noticed that you can unleard certain spells , but what happens when youre level 20 and you only have 12 spells and you realized you unlearned one that you shouldnt have lol. That would really suck considering you get a whoppin 12 .
Ive probably have a million more questions but this post is getting a bit long in the tooth. Pls pardon any grammatical / spelling and Capitalize issues, heh ive been playin this damn game too long
1st post. Dragon and Warlock questions
I think if you search the forums, you'll find answers to most of your questions. I know the answer to your Guyven problem has been posted, as have strategies for dealing with the red dragon.

SWC
Sir Edmund: "Should you obey the lord who asks you to put a village of innocents to the torch? Is that chivalrous? Is it noble?"
Me: "It's a great way to get promoted, I know that much."
Me: "It's a great way to get promoted, I know that much."
Pressing "~" (really "`") should bring up the console. Once the console is up, typing "DebugMode 1" should allow cheats. You'll need to type DebugMode exactly like that, with the capitalized D and M.

I tried it like 50 times. I restarted the game...nada...rebooted ...nada. I finally just kept hitting shift up and eventually it took. This game is so buggy. Anyway I didnt work untill my 3rd try of entering in all the data.
I now have him in his room but I cannot proceed any further since ive already been to the 4 areas he requires to unlock the crossbow. I tried re-visiting the 2 spots that I can still access , but no dice. This has no bearing on the game really but its annoying me that i cant get it finished. Thx for your responces by the way.

Console Problems Suggestion
I had that problem a couple of times when bringing up the console where it comes up invalid or it says my giveitem is a bad command or something.
I have discovered that the console at times opens with an added space where you should be typing or I have a lazy finger that manages to hit the space bar. The next time it happens to you try hitting the backspace key and then type your command. This will show that the console is adding a space should your command work. The other thing to do is to hit the enter key for your first line before you type any commands and then type what you need.
This has happened often enough for me to be sure that for some reason the console occasionally opens with the extra space. When I get a response saying invalid command I hit my up arrow key to bring up the last thing I entered after making sure I typed the command correctly. I then hit the backspace key one letter at a time and usually discover an extra space before I typed in my command. I have no clue as to why this would happen except for maybe a hiccup by my computer or the game. I haven't given up on my lazy finger(thumb) theory and I watch for it when I open the console.
I hope this was helpful!

Typing ~ DebugMode 1 doesnt work at all. Comes up invalid
Maybe I should just quit for a few months while they make a few hundred more patches?

This question has been answered as well - but to save you some searching I will give you the strategy that worked well for me:The big red dragon by the fire giants. I attack it with energy immunity fire on all my characters. I hit my main character and khelgar with stoneskin or barkskin and regen. I stsrt fighting and one of 2 things happens. I get him real low to where i cant even see any life in his life bar...and poof he regens at a insane rate...or he just goes wild totally ignoring whatever im doing and kills all my casters.

1. Take Sand and Qara. Make sure Sand has greater missile storm memorized.
2. Split your party up and have your melee and summons go after the dragon first.
3. Make sure you take control of Sand and Qara (pause is your friend). Make sure they are not near the melee guys so they don't get hit with fire breath. Have Sand and Qara cast missile storm and cone of cold until the dragon drops.
The dragon drops pretty quick with the missile storms and cone of colds.
