i know someone was trying to remake BG2 in the NWN2 engine..dont know how far along they were/are.
Been itching for a game with a good story (done with ME 1&2, DA:O), I will have to pick this up at GoG because so many rave reviews can't be wrong!
the story in PS:T >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ME >>>>>> DA:O
it takes a bit more to get into, yes...and you really need to spend the first few hours (or use a walkthrough) to figure out what's going on initially, but once you get rolling...holy crap it gets intriguing fast. it's crack more pure than BG2 (and i thought that was the good stuff haha)
You know I've been thinking of starting a thread or even a little group to replay some old classics. Frankly I am sick of newer games. Da2 is the nail in the coffin.
Thanks Fenix. I reinstated with the mods and wow do I appreciate this game now. I finished it years ago but been so long I barely remember.
Going as a mage this time.
BTW I seem to remember wisdom actually being important more than any stat in this game so I pumped wis and Int and couple into con. Let's see how this goes.
Woot.
yep, wisdom is basically the most important stat aside from your primary stat (str, dex, or int)
i will continue my game shortly once i finish reading AT and news
IIRC it's actually more important than your primary stats since it unlocks dialog options and sidequests.
Also, you can only be one class at a time but it can still be worth talking to your companions to change classes now and then, though I've forgotten most of the details. I think if you stay a fighter long enough you can maximize your dagger skill before switching to mage, and there being some advantage to being a thief for awhile (unlocking companion sidequests?).

I started the game based on reading this thread, but am having a bit of a hard time getting into it. The art direction is excellent and the dialog is all very well written, but I can't stand the point and click gameplay! I keep trying to move with WASD, and hate just clicking to go somewhere.. detaches me from the game for whatever reason. guess I'm just too used to actually moving a character in a game.
Also I can't stand that he talks so much when i click where to go or click on an object to open.

I played the game through without knowing about any mods, then I tried the widescreen mod and, all of a sudden, the atmosphere of waking up on that mortuary slab was gone. That opening scene has had a profound impact on my perception of the world and expanded the horizons of my imagination by tenfold. I am very lucky I didn't miss out on its beauty due to some silly lo-fi phobia.
I'm confused...are you saying that mods actually take away from the gameplay for you?
I've never played this but am going to add it to my list of games to get to in the next year...damn long list at this point.
