Honestly; I've tried playing this game 3 times now and this is the first time I've actually gotten out of the cave. Now I'm getting smoked in seconds by some Red Wizard guy and his band of crazy winged bitches... It's too bad because I've liked what I have seen of the dialog so far, and want to play more.
I have never played anything D&D before and know very little about the system. I do not want to have to play through the entire NWN2 shit campaign to learn how to survive this thing.. Honestly, I'm just bombarded with hundreds of spells and numbers and I have hardly any idea of what they do. Every time combat starts it's just this endless montage of horribly distracting particle effects and sounds. It's way too fucking fast; I thought D&D was supposed to be turnbased and slow?
I've figured out how to do a few basic spells (I chose a Warlock, have tried other classes and they were just as difficult) but find it extremely hard to memorize no less than 25 different things and what they do. I still have very little idea of how exactly I'm supposed to be fighting, or how the actual system works.
Should I actually try and play the standard NWN2 campaign first or is there any sort of tutorial or FAQ I can look at to figure out the basics of combat; even on Easy mode I am still getting my ass handed to me on a shiny, particle-effect-covered, plate.
