def gonna try, i solo'd icewind dale 2 with a level 30 fighter at the end - had to pull engine-tricking shenanigans out my ass and around to do it but i did it dammit

first run - proper party, second run - probably a smaller party - third run, probably solo

my current plan

Great, Invisibility is totally broken. It does nothing at all :-(

Obsidian guys, do you actually have playtesters?

I only used it once (in the last dungeon) and it worked pretty well.

What I think is broken is the Turn Undead ability.

 

[Freelance Henchman]

Can someone please try and use invisibility (from potion for example) and post what happened? Does it work for you?

 

[Balthamael]

It has worked for me consistently. For the one time it didn't work, I assumed the villain had true seeing or something like that on. Can't remember who that villain was or where.

 

[Freelance Henchman]

OK, invisibility works different now. You have to enter stealth right after casting or using it. I managed to solo the entire game with my warlock, but failed at the very end. The last battle is insanely tough. But I don't mind, it was fun.

It works sometimes. As in 1/4 to 1/2 of the time. Mostly it seems that enemies will still keep attacking you but you can sneak attack once.

Nope. Instakills a lot of buggers in my game. Keep in mind that it works differently for evil chars.

Actuallym, invisibility is the same as ever. But enemies are now smart enough to switch to search mode, which gives them a fairly good chance to make a Listen check on nearby enemies who aren't sneaking.

Just for completeness, I actually got to the very end and the last boss soloing on hardcore with that warlock, but the last fight I just couldn't do alone. Still, it was a nice fight.

Hey guys. I soloed it. It was really easy. For me, the starting ship crash part was annoying, so i switched to easy. But even this part could be done well if i had a proper character build for it. Ther rest of the game for me was a piece of cake. I did it with a lvl 20 sacred fist on the d&d hardcore rules difficulty. I posted me soloing the herald some time ago in youtube.

Level 30 Bard is overpowered, only trouble I had where against One of Many, the vampire/mage tower and Zehir (hardcore level).
The last encounter scales according to the player level/difficulty.
I have to admit, this game has many flaws, but it was kinda enjoyable, the new AI (still retarded but better) the new camera (there is a third one, but I dunno if it's from the previous expansion) and the overland map.
Let's wait for Obsidian to merge the best things from this campaign and MOTB in a new expansion. Shame that NWN2 engine sucks.

 

[halasterbc]

I totally agree with you, Hegel. But i kinda dare saying that around because of lack of games of this kind. I was playing the module for nwn1 today, Darkness over Daggerford, and thought how improved some things about iti s over some things about storm of zehir. It's great playing nwn2, it has great graphics and all, but it has so many annoying little things , things that people made much better almost 10 years ago.. It feels like we players will be waiting for a new masterpiece rpg forever ...
