NWN Scry: http://www.nwnlist.com

They want $40 for abandonware modules that have been freely available for half a damn decade now: http://store.steampowered.com/bundle/5253/Neverwinter_Nights_Enhanced_Edition_Digital_Deluxe/

>>14561667

Isn't this the game where they rewrote/added a character just to virtual signal SJW values?

Or the one where they lie about who developed it?

>>14561691

It's the same company, but that was a different game released by them.

>>14561701

Since it's Beamdog and they're progressive cunts, chances are they removed jiggle physics and community jiggle mods won't work with their models.

In b4 shill accusations

>>14561716

Ironic shitposting is still shitposting

>>14561716

>With the money it deserves

Money for who, nigger? Bioware ain't making shit from it any more, the game was virtually abandonware until GOG picked it up and the community was running the scene and has been retiring the game honorably over the last three years as an epic for newfags to enjoy until fucking EE came along and started ruining everything.

https://www.gog.com/game/neverwinter_nights_diamond_edition

>Compatible with windows 7/8/10, can be made compatible with most major linux distros with very little effort

https://www.gog.com/forum/neverwinter_nights_series/guidelinux_install_neverwinter_nights_on_any_linux_distribution

>All the premium modules were abandonware and easily obtained/patched in

>Beamdog has been known to go after GOG after the shekels start rolling in to prevent people from buying the more reasonable product

>>14561732

I know it was bait, but I fucking DMed for multiple servers and wasted countless hours of my life on this game. Let it die a peaceful and honorable death already. It's already outlived most online communities by years through community patches and upkeep, despite the plethora of server malfunctions and mod scene wipes.

Also,

BEAMDOG IS THE PARASITE OF THE INDUSTRY!

Good night.

Pretty funny to see the "developer" at beamdog go full damage control in the steam comment section of the top negative review for the game.

>>14561869

If they could charge you a dollar for pleasant thoughts, they would.

Good job Beamdog, you bunch of kike fuck ups.

>total $40

No thank you. What I've heard that this should be 4k, but it's difficult to tell if it's true.

>>14561890

At least they didn't inject it with their special brand of pozz. Small steps. No one was actually expecting anything but a fuckup from them.

>>14561920

Not sure how useful torrents will be when online is tied to your CD key on most legacy servers.

>>14561941

>At least they didn't inject it with their special brand of pozz.

Not yet. It's gonna happen sooner or later.

>>14561869

You don't own anything goy.

>>14561702

>worth more than what GoG is charging

Reminder that at one point, they offered the Diamond Edition of the game, for free. So what reason would I have, to give money to Beamdog, when GoG already offered me a free copy of the game with supposedly working multilayer(haven't tried it yet)?

>>14561701

>NuAribeth

>Nu

wut?

>>14563643

Don't know about system shock, but night dive made some actual effort on Turok 1&2. Level editor, more cheats, things like that.

>>14563804

To be fair, they're the ones who hired him, but wasn't that an external guy who was already tinkering with the N64 version?

>>14563722

GOG Version works fine.

Multiplayer works with all old serbs if you have kept the CD Key generated by GOG (or Keygen of your choice).

Beamdog Version: You have to register your key with their auth server to be able to even start the Multiplayer selection.

>>14561716

what kind of bait is this?

>>14561667

>nwnscry

I dunno man, you still couldn’t play online at all without emailing got support for a cdkey. That was absurd. Now if I want to run a campaign online I can just tell my buddies to go buy the game.

I don’t want to defend beamdog but there are original nwn devs working on this version.

>>14563783

Great! Can't wait to see the sudden influx of positive reviews of (((people))) with 0.x hours played.

Seems they are starting to come too.

>pay for an "enhanced" base game that will be used to produce shitty fanfiction/propaganda written by immature leftist women

Dragonspear must've not moved very well, too oldschool maybe. Can't wait till whatever mod they are making comes out, should be a laugh or too.

>>14563930

They fixed that, now all you have to do is look at the game's page in your library and it should have the cd key right there without having to email for it.

>there are original nwn devs working on this version

So what?

>>14561667

So what the hell exactly is this thing. Is it some type of official mod that updates the graphics or is it something else?

>>14564069

Based on their track record they steal modders work and put it in an 'official' mod and then sell it for 30 dollars.

The 'enhanced' edition of BG was actually worse than the modden BG.

>>14564104

Does it actually make the entire game look better or was it just that one character model the screenshot. Because if was just that one character model that's kind of dumb

>>14564112

I haven't played this shit, but as far as I can tell they only added DoF and a complete garbage form of scaling for the UI.

>>14564112

>was it just that one character model the screenshot

Thats not from the beamdog's release

>>14564269

So is that just from a regular mod then? Did anybody ever make a big graphical overhaul that brings the game up to Modern standards. And if so what would be the point of this new version if it's not compatible with original mods?

>>14564325

So le epic XD.

>>14561667

I don't understand why this exists when the base game actually works and looks fine.

>>14564373

Shekels.

>>14563848

Definitely goes to show they have respect for the original game, unlike beamdog.

>>14563930

That was only ever for persistent worlds, and they did that because after gamespy went bottom up on us, you could log in as anyone because the authentication server was down. The CD key solution was the easiest because a lot of players used proxies or had dynamic IPs that would fuck with IP authentication on entrance. You could host a local server without worrying about any of this.

>>14563930

Also,

>Original devs

There were original devs working on CEP and PRC too, faggot.

>>14564543

Yeah, I noticed that as well, GOG cock sucking is as bad as Steam shit as well. Every GOG installer I have gotten has been shit.

>>14564558

I mean, GoG is nice and all, but he has a semi good point that they are just dosboxing old games and charging money for them.

>>14564561

>>14564565

>zero harm to pirates

>associated with a real dev that still makes decent games

Show me on the doll, anon.

Felicia Day needs to fucking die

>>14564596

>>14564597

Fair enough, but they did take away the original copies of Baldurs Gate and exchanged them for the Beamdog shit pile. So that was kinda disheartening.

>>14564603

relax faggot this enraged response is what people like to use as real life death threats

>>14564605

More to do with who owns the NWN IP rather than the GoG website itself. No one is saying there is not shit cash grabs on GoG. There is. Its just that place is less Jew than Steam.

>>14564543

Steam started it.

>>14564596

>gives money to original devs

[citation needed]

>>14564726

An undisclosed percentage of GOG money goes to the current rights holder. Doesn't necessarily translate as dev aways.

>>14564565

>they are just dosboxing old games and charging money for them.

Not these days. Some older games they have really fixed up, like Omnikron. They also sell newer titles.

>>14565510

They claim they're "doing active work to patch it" even though they already released it officially.

>>14565540

That's pretty suspect tbh, seems like a pump and dump. Why release it if they're going to patch it? If they actually intend on improving it the early release will give a bad impression to newcomers and oldfags alike.

>>14566375

Beam dog have never shown any previous intent to do more than a half assed job on their acquired franchises, this will be more of the same.

>>14566382

They've actually managed to make the infinity engine games worse. Like turned the cutscenes of BG1 into an awful slideshow, made the backgrounds all blurry, introduced a lot of bugs, shat all over the old UIs and so on.

Does it at least has workshop support?

>>14561667

So what shoehorned OC DONUT STEEL did they put in this time?

>>14566476

>Steam workshop

Why would you even need that for NWN? NWN had the simplest modding platform ever- you literally put the .hak files in the hak folder, the .tlk files in the tlk folder, etc. The only one that might confuse people was modules being "video files."

>>14566484

Weren't the NWN1 campaigns all universally regarded as liquid dogshit to begin with?

>>14566839

It gets better when you find out Beamdog was the loudest voice in getting Steam's reviewing policy changed and getting them to remove negative reviews because it was killing their Enhanced Edition sales.

>>14564325

Why is it always goons

>>14566382

They did port the Infinity games to tablets before GemRB, for whatever that's worth. I don't think any RPG would actually be enjoyable on a tablet unless it was turn based like Fallout, due to the complexity of Infinity games' interfaces.

>>14567087

Let's be honest here; when ISN'T it goons?

>>14564565

A while back sure. But stuff Homeworld: Cataclysm is a little beyond just slapping dosbox on something an calling it a day. And they certainly aren't charging 40 fucking dollars for it.

>>14567203

Didn't stop Gearbox charging $35 for the original and the sequel.

>>14567212

GOG can't do anything about that. Beamdog and Gearbox are incompetent kike hacks, GOG is just a pretty cool distributor.

>>14566832

The expansion packs were pretty neat. It's curious because the same is true for the sequel.

If they changed nothing to the game itself except for graphics it's pointless. NWN was never a good game to begin with.

I wonder how many new bugs they've introduced?

>>14568588

GOG are standard corporate whores, but they aren't at the level of Kikes- they actually have some benefit by fixing compatibility issues with later OSes (for the good ones) and I've yet to hear about them going after torrenters, so they really only removed them from normalfag sites. Not that big of a loss.

>>14568639

Even moreso, 99% /scurv/y I see nowadays are GoG versions, rather than original floppy/CD images with crack patches.

>>14564596

>GOG resells old games made functional

>hence it's as bad as Beamdog

This is blatant derailment for contrarians who can't wait to jump on the next hatewagon. Beamdog's fault is altering content and overpricing it: GOG keeps content updated to work on current machines without fucking with it.

GOG deep down is about paying someone to patch the game for you. Leet kids can live without that, but it's dishonest to think they're as jews as socjus infested Beamdog.

>>14561691

You're thinking of Baldur's Gate EE

>>14570400

literally this

Anyways, I downloaded the magnet link to see how things are. My opinion is zero upgrades it looks just like old NWN except it has a Beamdog intro.

>>14572307

Good old camelface is known for "The Guild", a shitty web series that rode on the LOL SO NERDY XD cancer. Many a thirsty beta with absolutely no standards when it comes to females were attracted to this hideous creature, and since many of those work for BioWare, they managed to weasel the ugly bitch into Dragon Age 2 as an elf character.

Since I imagine these same soycucks are now working at Beamdog and still have no standards when it comes to women, she's still their waifu and the rest of humanity needs to suffer his hideous visage.

Also, her boyfriend is some geriatric 60+ grandpa.

>>14565423

>Doesn't necessarily translate as dev aways

You mean never. The devs already got paid when they made the game. Unless a dev self-published their game and managed to hold on to the rights all these years, they aren't getting shit.

>>14566832

Yes.

The only thing worth of mention with nwn1 was mp and user created campaigns.

>>14570400

Well said, anon. Much better worded than >>14568639

>>14572307

There is a certain similarity (both look like shit, for example) but the resemblance is a coincidence. Sensationalist faggots are just making shit up.

>>14561667

>first pic

wait, they are remodeling all the game? source on that pic

>>14563643

Yup. They took a mod a fan had made for the game, C&D'd the original download for it, and put it up on Steam for $20.

>>14563783

>one of the planned features is the Steam Workshop

Oh boy, I can't wait to get my 25% cut for selling other peoples' modules.

>>14566489

Because you can't pay for your mods without it :^)

>>14561667

I bored for weeks… is it worth to pirrate it?

>>14561667

I always found NWN to be boring and buggy piece of shit mess. Maybe they'll remake it into something laughable instead so I'll feel something while playing this garbage. Are they going to release DLCs after the game?

>>14577140

NWN is perfect if you want to familiarize yourself with 3E rules so you can play the superior Icewind Dale 2 without much hassle.

Otherwise, NWN is average but Hordes of the Underdark is good. HotU uses your Shadows of Undrentide character through import, but you can just make your own at the appropriate level. You'll gain the experience once you start the module.

>>14577140

NWN2 is much better.

I want more d&d games because my d&d group is shit

>>14577391

>NWN2 is much better.

Bug riddled mess is better how?

>>14577408

It's fun

>>14577505

>being a corporate cocksucker

>not being a fanboy of your own sandwich

>not knowing this guy posts here to start console wars

>>14577522

>getting this upset over a joke

are you retarded or something?

>>14577529

If its a joke why is it not relevant to the post I made? I mean as a reply it was a low quality post.

>>14570400

Isn't it obvious, that it was Beamdog's fault all along?

>>14572307

Felicia Day was Zoey and Anita long before Anita appeared on the scene and took a big shit on it. As mentioned, she was known for the Guild, a shit webseries that rode the LOLImsuchUhNurd bullshit until gamergays put a lots of bents into that until reddit mutated that into a last ditch effort to save feminism. Before that she was played a side character in Buffy. Now all the thirsty gamma weenies are putting her into everything they can put her into, because moefagging a Camel is apparently neither weird nor pathetic.

Reminder that she GW2 ended up with the Burgerking Kid's Club as MCs, because Day wanted to much money for dubbing Zoija again.

>>14577505

Very shit taste. The best part is, that the guy was stupid enough to not private his Steam profile in shame.

http://steamcommunity.com/id/gamezard/games/?tab=all

As you can see here, he is rather playing garbage than investing the money into something else. The collection is very telling and so is the autistic Steamgroup he has founded. Just see for yourself.

>>14577560

>I can't stack stats, only the highest ones apply for some reason

That's the same in IWD2 if you're talking about STR/DEX/etc. It's part of their rules.

>>14577585

I'm not really an expert, but I remember clear as day that I could stack stats to my heart's content with different items and consumables.

This was before SoZ came out, so maybe that was a bug.

I really don't know.

>>14577536

I'm agreeing with you, you dumb nigger. everything is sarcasm in it and it's denoted with the use of "wow" and hyperbolic insinuations. Are you the ESL nigger in the image or something?

>>14577787

Fug, i meant "i avoided NWN1". Sorry!

>>14577787

All Beamdog EEs are pieces of shit that improve basically nothing.

>>14561667

I had problem with ear raping sound noises in original NWN1. Like a fucking static out of nowhere, or sound just jumping/turning off completely.

I hope they fixed it.

>>14577391

no it isn't

>>14577825

as to this, what really happened was you had a shitty toaster computer with shitty old drivers and your system just couldn't deal with it. NWN1 maybe shit but not as shit as your pc specs.

TIME FOR MY PASTA

Fuck it, I'm bored off my ass and wan't to talk about this game.

Installing the game

First, you actually want to get NWN, so go torrent NWN Diamond edition from Piratebay or something, this is generally the one you want, you don't want to piss about wuth DLing NWN stanalone then the expansions.

Win7 user will have trouble with installastion, so you need to follow this guide in order to ensure you don't mess up:

http://social.bioware.com/forum/Neverwinter-Nights-1/NwN-1-Technical-Support-Self-help-for-all-versions-and-expansions/Installing-NWN1-for-Win7vista-including-patch-links-for-all-OS--3341490-1.html

http://nwn.wikia.com/wiki/Windows

You may also suffer from issues involving non playing cutscenes in the start of campaign chapers when playing or chrome/silver skin at character creation.

The chrome skin issue is usually fixed by simply installing the critical rebuild 1.69 patch found here:

http://www.gog.com/forum/neverwinter_nights_series/why_is_my_characters_skin_silver

The non playing cutscene issue is caused by a number of different problems, but the first thing you must do is install Bink, found here:

http://www.radgametools.com/bnkdown.htm (First DL link)

Here are some sites which can usually help you fix this issue.

http://www.gog.com/forum/neverwinter_nights_series/videos_and_cutscenes

Using this is how I fixed my Non playing cutscens issue in NWN, however, so it's probably this one.

http://mirror.aleturo.com/Games/NWN/

Additionally, disable the shiny water option sound ingame, it's a shit, causes savegame bloat and crashes.

Now that you've pretty much installed NWN Diamond edition patched it and made sure you've got no issues, It's time to install the Premium modules, which you can find here:

http://social.bioware.com/forum/Neverwinter-Nights-1/NwN-1-General-Discussion-Forum-No-Spoilers-Allowed/UNOFFICIAL-links-to-redownload-previously-purchased-Premium-modules-4746466-1.html

Download and intstall all of these.

So now, you've pretty much got all of the Vanilla content. Save for Darkness over Daggerford, which was cancelled.

You might also want a fan made module on what happens between Shadows of Unrentide and Hordes of the Underdark, plenty of those on the neverwinter vault.

Community patches/gameplay improvements

Here I will list mods that are to NWN what the Unofficial Oblivion patch is to Oblivion, you'll want to download these for sure.

http://www.neverwinternights.info/index.htm

Community Patch

http://www.neverwinternights.info/p170.htm

A community patch for all those nasty bugs 1.69 didn't fix.

Also will merge data in you .2da folders togther rather tha overrite if you place them in a folder and run a batch file, so it works with just about anything, includign any installations of the PRC or other modifications you may have installed.

Lastly, there's the PRC, which is a mod that injects a buttload of D&D 3.5 classes and a shitload of other stuff for choice at character creation, amongst other things, such as sub-races that if you name at the begining of character creation, will be seen as their own race.

Before installing the PRC (And most mods anyway) you want this:

http://www.neverwinternights.info/nwncx.htm

>>14578327

NWNCX extends what NWN can actually do, and is needed to select the PRC base classes at character creation.

Lastly you want something called Leto 1.69 PRC edition I think, for editing PRC characters and stuff.

Honestly, this is taken from an old guide I wrote on the subject as much has changed on the modding scene since then, as we now have a working mod manager that works in the same fashion as the Mod organiser for bethesda games, which is a godsend compared to drag'n drop Override files to NWN1.

There'd be more links to mods here, but they were all to the old neverwinter vault, whcih shut down and changed to a new site, so they no longer work, and their search engine is piss, so it's hard to fidn the old stuff.

Anyhow, the basic stuff you want is the game fully patched with cutscenes working then the community patch, the PRC being optional if you want it, as you have things like the CEP needed for Custom created modules to play, or persistant servers and whatever.

One more thing, most moduels want these massive fuckass collections of assets, one called the CEP, and the other Project q.

Get both, and also get the CEP 2.1 (An older version) as some modules use it, such as a Hunt through the dark, a popular series of Drow modules.

Oh right, and put the game's .exe's in compatiblity. for windows XP and run as Admin, that's one of the most important things.

There's also a Mod manager for installing mods now, which you can find on the nexus, it's a bit buggy now, but the author is open to bug report submissions.

It's a lot better than the manual method, anyhow.

ALSO

FUCK BEAMDOG, I BET THEY DIDN'T PUT HALF OF THE SHTI HERE INTO THE GAME

HACKS.

::::::::::::::::::::Understanding the game's file structure::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Not gonna lie, before we go on, if you're used to modding Bethesda games then this is pretty much a breeze to pick up, it's practically dag and drop really.

Before you go about modding, make sure your NWN directory has a 'portraits', folder in it, if not, make it, and inside make two folders named Male and Female for later, and make sure you have a 'Hak' folder and a 'override' folder

Readme's found in other peoples mods will pretty much teach you outright where to put mods and such, but for a quick rundown on what's what, read below

The portrait folder is where character portraits go, and the male and female folders are subfolders for this which will separate male and female portraits ingame PROVIDED the portrait pictures

have an extra character which indicates that the portrait is singled out by sex (Unfortunately I do not know what character this is, and modders are lazy, so they often don't bother with this and leave it, simply placing it in the portraits folder, meaning iingame the portrait can be used by both sexes)

The Hak Folder is home to .hak and .hif files (I think) .Hak files are pretty much compressed archives for modules (THE GAME) that have bundles of content in them to be used by custom modules.

You can extract these files via certrain modding tools and if you want to customize what is default in your NWN game, then it's suggested you get these tools, because some mods have their content packaged in .hak and don't have them uncompressed.

And now, the most important of all The ovverride folder which is the folder which will host the joys of your replacer mods.

Anything that is of the same file type and filename of anything found in the default NWN game's directories is overwritten by whatever if in this folder that has said filetype and filename.

For the most part, the replacers are model and texture replacers, as larger mods such as unnoficial patches or gameplay changes are somewhat scarce on the NWN modding scene.

Creatures models are usually filnamed with a preceeding 'C_' then the name, but in some user content, this isn't the case.

An example of a creature model would be C_Air.mdl for the air elemental found in all NWN campaigns.

Textures are also named this way in most cases for vanilla assets too., but some Creature replacers use .DDS files instead of .TGA for their models in some cases, and sometimes do not have the 'C_ preceeding them'.

You can also create your own replacers by renaming models of your choice to a name in question.

Please note that you don't always need a model and it's coressponding texture to do a replacer, as the texture will be utilized by the ingame models instead.

The Module folder holds your game modules, in other words the custom campaigns which you can play, and these modules will rely on .Haks, TLK and other content found in your NWN directory.

There are other folders to talk about but you won't be fiddling with them as much, so I'm leavng it at this.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::Tools and resources::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Normally the average player would avoid these because they're for modders and the like, but there are a few that I reccomend you have at your disposal, because they will be imperitive if you want to customize and use overrides

NWNExplorer:

This bad boy lets you view models (Most of them anyway) extract content from .hak packs and the game directories and open up NWN files and the like.

A must have for anyone who wants to preview the goods before usinng them (Planet neverwinter likes to be crude when it comes to screenshots, they're small as crap)

MDL retexturizer

Lets you retexture MDL files, all you've got to do is open one up, insert the filename of the new texture you want the model to use, then BAM! instant newly textured model, ain't that sweet?

NWN Override Manager http://andyvioustv.might be a bot, summon Mark to correct/

Lets you choose what ovverride directories the game will pick when you play, so it's great if you want to mix n match stuff up.

Leto 1.69: http://nwvault.please use archive.ism/View.php?view=other.Detail&id=1288

A character creation tool with options far beyond that of the default ingame character creation, also lets you turn certain files and creature data into playable characters too as well as edit saved character templates.

Only downside is you've got to make a bloody .jpg for custom portraits to place in the Leto folder to use them with the tool. (If you use PRC which I'll mention later, pleae get the PRC compatible version)

>>14578335

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::Community patches/gameplay improvements:::::::::::::::::::::::

Here I will list mods that are to NWN what the Unofficial Oblivion patch is to Oblivion, you'll want to download these for sure.

Community Patch 1.70

http://www.neverwinternights.info/p170.htm

A community patch for all those nasty bugs 1.69 didn't fix.

Also will merge data in you .2da folders togther rather tha overrite if you place them in a folder and run a batch file.

Familar and companion fixes

http://www.nexusmods.com/neverwinter/mods/97/?

Solves a bunch of crap for companions and such, must have.

Customize Character Override Hak http://www.nexusmods.com/neverwinter/mods/799/?tab=1&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fneverwinter%2Fajax%2Fmoddescription%2F%3Fid%3D799%26preview%3D&pUp=1

Despite the name, it isn't a .Hak file, this bad boy lets you change you head ingame, character skin colour, and pimp out your clothes.

Get this, because I know for a fact that dying objects doesn;t show up until the 2nd NWN campaign, and eve nthat takes eons to do manually.

This mod is overall compatible with pretty much everything I've thrown at it, so no need to worry.

OHS Henchman System

http://nwvault.please use archive.ism/View.php?view=scripts.detail&id=2568

Want to recruit that character you last played as a companion?

Now you can.

Best of all this mod is 100% balanced, you have to pay to recruit depending on a number of variables such as level and the shit the character is hauling, and the A.I is prett decent.

Well, ALMOST decent.

There's a bit of an issue with the character snuffing it and not coming back when you've revived them, so save often if you use the companions you make with this mod.

Aside from that, it's danm swell.

Henchman Inventory & Battle AI mod v1.08

http://nwvault.please use archive.ism/View.php?view=Hakpaks.Detail&id=4510

Makes henchmen better, not much else to say.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::BigWigs:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

This is the section for those Huge ass mods that stand out on their own because they're so danm huge you're supposed to have them outright because almost everyone uses them for their games.

Latest CEP: http://nwvault.please use archive.ism/?dir=cep/downloads

Fatass compilation of all kinds of shit

Not all Modules and campaigns are updated to the latest CEP, so you'll need the old one too, so get that in a compressed file format (.RAr .zip 7zip)

If prompted to overrite anything, when adding old CEP content to you Hak folder DON'T, because it is the older version of CEP for a reason, and you don't want to overrite those.

A Hunt through the Dark is a old campaign that uses an older CEP.

Project Q

Pretty much another compilation pack like the CEP, once again, you'll need it.

Alright, that's my notepad files done- I think some links are dead and you need to visit them on Archive.iS or wayback machine, but beyond that you -SHOULD- be good to go- also, I think I covered this a few years back on the site and reposted those links with archived version over the course of two NWN1 Threads.

Fuck Beamdog.

Downloading the EE now, will give a short opinion on it. Played all the original NWN games so I should know what I'm talking about.

>>14578439

I remember in the original I lowered the resolution so the UI wasn't tiny, but I never looked into mods.

>>14578328

>>14578327

>>14578334

You know what, I'm just going to buy the newer version, this shit sounds way to much time consuming thanks for the info anon

>>14578504

The EE has none of the improvements that anon listed.

>>14578504

Nigger it literally takes twnety minutes to install, simply point the installers to where they needs to go. You also get a complete game without multiple cut quests, new party members with all of the old ones actually being useful, and you aren't giving money to a company that fucks over fans.

>>14578504

His list is so long because of all the modules and extra things. Here's mine for a basic install of the GOG Diamond Edition. Install the game first, then:

Installation Order

nwnenglish1.69hotuupdate.exe

nwnpatch171_4.exe

Rename "binkw32.dll" in installation folder to "binkw32_ati.dll".

Copy "binkw32.dll" in to installation folder. This will allow the movies to play and prevents graphics from being black.

nwnmain.exe -> Compatibility Windows XP SP 3 and Disable Desktop Composition

nwn.ini -> SafeMovie=1

If still not working, install "dxwebsetup.exe"

If still not working, install "directx_Jun2010_redist.exe"

nwnplayer.ini -> add "Max Memory Usage=128"

Use "Miles" sound driver to fix stuttering.

The binkw32.dll part is for ATI cards only. Go find the "new" binkw32.dll on the internet, it's all over the place.

>>14578504

gog version works for me with no effort, just run installer and go.

>>14578504

Or you could not be a fag and buy the Diamond Edition from GoG that does 90% of what he's talking about other than modding the game.

>>14579387

That being said…

>>14578327

>>14578328

>>14578334

>>14578335

>>14578337

>>14578344

Thank you anon. I appreciate you going through the effort for those like myself who aren't lazy fags.

>>14564605

You can download the originals when you buy the EE pretty sure someone check

>>14579686

The main point isn't about whether or not you can get the originals at all, but about the fact they're permanently tripling the price from $10 to $30 (and, on top of that, NWN1 has been conspicuously absent from sales ever since the EE was announced).

Which Neverwinter Nights is better? First one or second one? I'm enjoying first one so far.

>>14582844

NWN1 vanilla campaign: Shit

NWN1 Undrentide: Okay-ish

NWN1 Underdark: Good

NWN2 vanilla: Shit

NWN2 MotB: Great

NWN 2 Zehir: Meh

>>14582849

A shame about Zehir, the concept was so good and if done better would have been amazing. Imagine a more freeform version similar to Mount and Blade?

>>14582878

I didn't went far with Zehir. Did it had something city upgrading? And isn't there a huge bug about entering West Harbor?

>>14579138

>Tabletop Sim

>total shitshow

u wot m8?

Don't you fucking post a 3 year old screenshot and act like it's still the same steaming pile of hot garbage that it was that long ago.

If you wanted something more dedicated, Fantasy Grounds still exists and is perfectly usable. If neither of those two options are good enough for you, you're a fucking retard.

>>14582935

Yeah, it's still pretty buggy. And all you could upgrade were the Caravans.

>>14561667

It actually looks kind of good.

Gonna try this shit, I've had 2 abortive goes at NWN over the years first fizzled despite getting pretty far second barely got out of town, if this one tanks I'm blaming the game.

>>14588861

>phytoestroegens that can't do anything beyond blocking receptors

>causing skinhead sissyboys

There isn't actually any agreed on effect in the scientific literature, but of the two possibilities, the likelier effect would exclusively be to block estroegen in women.

>>14561667

ya gotta love how the best module thats written for this game is a porn module. has there ever even been anything that came close to as involved of a stealth campaign as a dance with rogues?

>>14588899

>Everyone and their mother knows soy has phytoestrogenic effects on a human body.

Retards like >>14588927 don't apparently.

>>14588883

annnd nope.

It's impossible to focus, the blur just rapes my eyes, that must have been what killed it last time.

>>14589126

What blur?

>>14588861

>>14577540

Fucking over NuANet is the only good thing Felicia Day has done in her life, so I'm not sure what that has to do with anything else you wrote.

>>14589227

h-hello?

What a great thread. I'm proud of you /v/

>>14561667

I've fantasized about brutalizing Felicia Day for many years and I thought that was over with but now I'm doing it again.

>>14563952

dragonspear was a disaster, and while the event itself blew over i would imagine that since their bread and butter is reselling old games to people who've already played them, their core group of customers still remembers and haven't forgiven them. goddamn that was such a clusterfuck

>gets BTFO in reviews for being an ugly, buggy, poorly written piece of garbage

>beamdog decides to play the diversity card and say that all the negative reviews are because of the evil alt-right hating on a tranny character

>negative reviewers modify their reviews to say "yes we are mad about the tranny: not that they're trans, but in a game called Baldur's Gate a "serious" character probably shouldn't just flag down total strangers and tell them about their genitals"

>things only get worse

>super duper extra fun bonus: they called in the old voice actor for Minsc and had him make a Gamergate joke to put in the game (they later patched this out too)

fuck beamdog to death

>>14590215

I was surprised and delighted with all the backlash that it got. I knew the second they announced that they were creating another BG expansion that it was going to be irredeemable trash. I could think of 1 maybe 2 studios that could pull it off, these hacks aren't on that list.

>>14588861

Now it all makes sense why Germans were the most attractive and got all the ladies

>>14579138

>WHY DIDN'T WOTC GET BIOWARE OR OBSIDIAN TO MAKE A 1ST-PARTY VIRTUAL TABLETOP CLIENT/SERVER SOLUTION

Because that would have made for a fun game and would have been a profitable business decision :^)

>>14591307

Aielund Saga: The go to mega campaign of fan mods. You'll end up at a very high level by the end, around 37 or so. Some encounters are kinda annoying, but they do give you a lot of OP gear.

Prophet Series: Hard to explain this one without giving too much away, but it's very good and the story is pretty well done. Start is a little slow, but when it ramps up, it shoots into the stars.

Swordflight Series: Pretty good one overall, combat heavy, but still has enough story to keep you going. Can be a bit difficult, but it has custom respawn system, if you choose to use it and take the XP penalty.

Elegia/Excrucio Eternum: Good story heavy ones, EE1 is pretty unique in that it is fully voiced.

The Hex Coda: Made by the same guy who did EE 1&2, is probably my personal favorite. Very unique in its setting, being a kinda sci-fi fantasy kinda thing. Was unfortunately never finished, but part 1 is worth playing, and he did dump everything he had made for part 2, and all the story notes.

Vampire Heaven Defied: If you liked Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, this one was heavily inspired by it. Short, but pretty good.

Darkness Over Daggerford: Content heavy single campaign, has a neat map system. Main campaign is a little bland, and ends kinda fast. But there are a lot of side quests that felt like the main meat of the game.

Runes of Blood: A lot like Daggerford, where it's a single campaign and a lot to do. The story has a lot of good elements for an enjoyable story, but doesn't get enough time to fully develop. But overall it has a lot to offer, and you can bang tons of sluts.

Paladin Twilight/Midnight: Neat one, lots of custom features added onto the paladin class, story is pretty decent. Very, very, puzzle heavy, has a walkthrough though. Part three was never finished, though it's not completely dead from what I've seen.

Siege of Shadowdale/Crimson Tides of Tethyr/Tyrants of the Moonsea: A weird series of sorta connected adventures. Shadowdale is pretty basic, Tethyr is very good, but you are literally drowned in so much loot, never got far into Moonsea though.

>>14591513

Thanks friend, some of these sound pretty fucking sweet actually

>Vampire Heaven Defied

I do love me some Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines

>>14591513

Since you know a lot about modules, could you tell me if there are any that do the following? I just bought NWN DE since I never played anything except the main campaign and would like to play good modules that, hopefully, have some if not all of these points.

>finished

>complex intrigue

>more RP/dialogue than encounters, I care little for battle

>decent romance

>Recreate Waterdeep with some degree of detail

I did read about Aielund Saga but the only character I'd consider romancing would be the princess and she gets raped in a sex dungeon so that kills it for me.

>>14591855

The best written module is also, ironically, a porn one. Look up A Dance with Rogues. I think you can find a pastebin in the Neverwinter thread on /hgg/ that has a link.

>>14591896

What do you mean a porn one? In which sense? Normal campaign but with sex? Or where everything is sex?

>>14591900

There is animated sex and nudity between characters. However, if you don't want that, I'm pretty sure there is an option to make all of them fade-to-black.

>>14591903

Is it forced? What's the plot? Cause I usually play paladins

>>14591896

If I recall correctly Dance with Rogues is super edgy nothin personell kid.

>>14591910

>>14591913

It's been a while and I don't remember much, only that I liked it. You can find everything you need about it in >>>/hgg/

I believe you are forced into a character, so there isn't much room to make your own. don't look up the sequel. It's a cuckfest written by some fat dyke catlady

>>14590185

You need help.

>>14591855

There's plenty that fit a handful of those, but none that match all of them. I'd say just take a look at the Hall of Fame entries under RP/Mystery tags.

>The community WANTED this

>Your contrarian hatred of modern video games

What new games are you talking here? I don't see any. Perhaps community would prefer NEW fucking game like on UE4 with modern graphics and all modding possibilities of NWN. I don't mind if they make Nioh-like view and combat to attract new audience. As long as it's good.

But we all well aware if this happen it's going to be always-online singleplayer feminist negrofetish shitshow with lootboxes. #BuyItYouHATERS!

HD on old game? Wow It's fucking nothing for 20 bucks. And look they're getting 35% of AAA game price for what? 1% of work?

As to part of community with potato PCs and shit, they'd be fine with old one. Nothing wrong with it. Opening source would be welcome if anything.

Facelift.

>>14620716

Not even that. Just some compatibility fixes that you could already do using fanmods and a few tweaks to the UI, in return for quadrupling the price on GoG.

They're making vague promises of more new features to come, but that's not worth much as yet.

Original game looks FINE. You dont need remakes of games anything later than the PSX era and even then you dont

>>14620747

It changed literally nothing. They are promising better character models but haven't delivered yet. All it adds is shitty ENB-like effects like depth of field. You still can't have more than one hot bar row either.

>>14622051

>implying

As someone who's involved a lot with the online NWN community, I'm genuinely saddened how almost every player is so obsessed about this piece of shit, called enhanced edition. Almost everyone posting on the forums or asked about it is praising these fucking beamdog jews, like they're doing us all a favor for getting the game's source code, doing very minor tweaks and reselling it for absurd price. So, yes, plenty of people bent over and wanted this, but maybe not all.

Only real merit I see, and one I have to admit, is improved toolset, removing plenty of previousy hardcoded things and allowing - or rather, making it easier - to add and modify things like classes and item properties. Does it warrant the price? For most of the shills, yes it does. Why? Because there are almost no fucking standards for today's vidya game consumers. Call out the devs for selling shit like premium modules (PREVIOUSLY FREE), fucking SOUNDTRACK, and portraits (==YES, SELLING PORTRAITS==)?

<shut up you faggot

<devs gotta eat

<they're doing us all a favor

<they're going out of their way to please us

<selling dlc's is a modern standard

<i don't see anything wrong with their politics

So what the fuck does it take for you to actually open your eyes? How big of a shit they have to make?

No, I didn't buy this, and I won't. Fuck them. Almost every bigger server is switching (or already did), but fuck them. The last thing that we've got is voting with our money, so, no, I'm not going to endorse these faggots, even if there's nowhere to play anymore. It's a matter of principle.

For what I know, (((sinfar))) devs have made so many changes to the original game that switching to EE would destroy them, so maybe at least this will remain. Even if I don't want to take part in this degeneracy, there are actually normal, and good, servers being prepared, that use sinfar's goodies (like character's appearance modification, making colors darker and brighter, altering height, accessories as VFX etc.).

https://nwn.sinfar.net/search_characters.php

There's the list of servers near the top right corner, I check them out every once in a while.

whatre the chances that one anon hosts his nwn1 server again?

>>14561667

>GIVE ME BACK

>Reds: Metagaming, Amputation, Mutilation, Scat, Watersports, Vore, Being a slave, Perma-death without my permission, Godmoding, oviposit, nothing that breaks server rules. Drama.

<These are the people that play NWN online still

>>14636881

Yes, (((sinfar))) is a special place with plenty of special people, but wouldn't generalize like that. As I said, the only thing interesting about (((sinfar))) is modification it did to the game engine, and I'm aiming at these custom servers that are being developed; they usually don't focus on all that degenerate stuff and offer good roleplay. Apparently there's one active now, The Accursed Island, but haven't checked it out myself.

>>14632035

>>14634319

Any channel where people are gathering to play this?

This seems like an appropriate place to ask:

Should I play Baldur's Gate or Neverwinter Nights first?

I'm new to DnD games but understand their system as I'm a /tg/fag, I don't give a fuck about graphics and both excite me to just check out. Which one is the better first experience?

>>14643704

You can't exactly compare them since they work with different rule sets. BG is easier overall since you don't have to deal with a fuckload of skills and feats. It also doesn't look like shit from a butt.

>>14643714

Yeah I was noticing Neverwinter seemed to work off 3.5 which is interesting as right now I'm running Star Wars Saga Edition for my group and it's really similar. So BG is a better intro because it's trimmed down, okay that's a good recommendation. How do their stories compare?

>>14643732

The BG story is considered good, although by now anyone will be able to tell the usual Bioware tropes of "Le stronk girl rogue" and so forth immediately. NWN doesn't have any stories to write home about, the OC is really rather bland. If you want a really good story you gotta go for NWN2 and Mask of the Betrayer

>>14643745

Okay, I've heard a lot of good stuff about MotB. I'll check out Baldur's Gate for now and NWN2/MotB a bit later. Thanks for your recommendation.

One thing worth noting, I was just looking up Baldur's Gate on GOG and they don't even sell the original version anymore, you can't even fucking buy it, you have to buy the beamdog edition. My suggestion is that anyone who was on the fence about NWN and NWN 2 and wants to own them legitimately you should buy them now before you can only buy the beamdog editions. If you don't want to buy them legally then rejoice, pirates get the best of things in this situation and have no real time limits so long as people keep sharing the old gog versions.

>>14566886

But you still can't control your party members.

>>14577560

>You have a big cast of characters to choose from to accompany you

All of whom are unfathomably annoying.

>>14582844

The first one. NWN2 is just horrible in almost every way.

>>14643704

The two aren't connected, so you can play them in either order, but BG has the better interface IMHO and a much better campaign (especially BG2). NWN1's official campaigns vary from poor to mediocre, the majority of its appeal comes from the enormous number of player-made campaigns. NWN2, on the other hand, has one of the finest CRPG campaigns made, MoTB.

If you (or anyone else in your group) feel like getting your hands dirty with the toolkit, the best way to play NWN is as a digital tabletop session with a DM. NWN1's toolkit is a bit less daunting, and has more assets available online.

>>14643870

Not quite true, the originals are still bundled alongside the purchase of EE. Even if this does mean the trilogy bundle is gone, the price is increased, and the OSTs are unbundled.

>>14643878

Oh come on, Grimgnaw is alright.

Also everyone should just pirate Baldur's Gate and NWN because the money wouldn't go to the actual creators anyway and Beamdog deserves nothing.

>>14643878

>The first one. NWN2 is just horrible in almost every way.

The campaign is actually decent, unlike the first one's turd. Plus sou is shit.

>Prophet Series: Hard to explain this one without giving too much away, but it's very good and the story is pretty well done. Start is a little slow, but when it ramps up, it shoots into the stars.

Prophet is extremely overrated. Its story is just the same thing over and over and over again. The reason you can't say anything without giving too much away is that if you know one plot point, you know them all, because there's really only one plot point.

There's sex everywhere. A lot of it is non-consensual. There's an unavoidable rape scene in the first hour. There's apparently a lot of non-sexual content as well, but there's no denying it's a porn module. As the name implies, you're required to play a rogue (a female rogue; the PC is a princess who has to flee when her kingdom gets invaded).

Wow. Pure, uncut shilling. Truly impressive.

If Beamdog really gave a shit about the community, they wouldn't have been so fucking dismissive about full party control or how huge the singleplayer module scene is.

In a third-person game? That doesn't even make sense.

>What pisses me off the most about this shit is that NWN1 is 100% perfectly functional. I just played that shit with my friends a couple of months ago. The game ran flawlessly for everyone involved on the first try without any serious tweaking. The game didn't need a remake. There was nothing wrong with it and it wasn't so dated that it was indecipherable graphically or needed any major quality of life fixes.

There was one big thing they could have improved: They could have given us full party control in singleplayer. That would have been huge. I would pay for that. It's the one major thing the game is missing, and it's been dragging the game down since the beginning. But when people brought it up, Beamdog basically said they don't want to do it because they don't like singleplayer and want everyone to play multiplayer. They've recently said they might try to unhardcode things enough that the modding community could add it. I guess we'll see. I don't have any interest in the new version otherwise.

The OC for NWN isn't very good from a story standpoint. Neither is Shadows of Undrentide, the first expansion. However, Hordes of the Underdark is very good. And of course, NWN also has a lot of really good modules, like Tales of Arterra and Aielund Saga.

He's from NWN1.

The NWN2 OC is awful. Insufferable characters, boring story, uninteresting combat. And overall, I just can't stand NWN2's gameplay and UI. Pretty much everything about it annoys the shit out of me except for the quickcast menu.

Wow.
