I hate it when I'm fighting something that the mouse-over lists at "Near
Death", I score a critical hit, and it keeps fighting. :)

Not very difficult to reproduce... AFAIK the mouse-over health status is
calculated by percentage. So a big bad boss could have more than 100 hp left
and still ranked as Near Death.

I was being facetious.

That's a great plan for those of you who can carry eighty thousand beetle
hearts - I often play a sorceress, and she's not going to be able to pack
around thirty beetle hearts unless she has some damn fine magic bags.

I've never thought it was worth the effort to clean the bags up. What bugs
me, though, is that sometimes you'll fight something ELSE in with the
beetles, and you want to find that that thing dropped...but it's lost
amongst the half billion useless beetle hearts.

The beetles themselves aren't much worth it....though it's REALLY funny to
cast fireball and watch/listen as twenty beetles all flip over and die at
once. Who says a sorceress can't outstripe familiars, summons, and henchmen?

Right - ditto with Slaads. Yech, can't imagine carrying around Slaad
tongues by the scores, but you kinda don't want to miss anything
good...

When I play a fighter, and have spare feats, Great Cleave is great for
quickly wiping out a bunch of spuds.

PS, I forgot to say how much I hate having to put a CD in to play a
game that I bought, when I have an extra hundred gb of empty disk
space (using No CD crack currently for HotU)

Lucky bastard. I've never been able to find a no-CD crack that worked for
me.

Cleave (and its various forms) in general has to be one of the most useful
things I've ever picked up while playing a fighter. It's a must-have
especially when I'm just starting out. Unless I'm going to pick up a scythe
as my weapon (which requires that I take exotic weapons), my first feats are
always power attack, then cleave.

Horray for free hits to new targets!

Tried that. I'm not sure if I got a bad file or if my old computer just
hated me, but it didn't work, and I had to end up reinstalling NWN (though I
had the foresight to preserve my save files, I think).

Haven't tried it on my new computer yet...just haven't bothered. It's fast
enough that having to have the CD in there doesn't bother me much.

You have to have the correct file for the game version you're using. That's
where most people have problems. It's also a good idea to rename your
original nwn.exe file before copying the NoCD file to your game directory.

me too.. always spiders in game.. hate 'em... hate 'EM... HATE 'EM !
*shivers*
 
Archived from groups: alt.games.neverwinter-nights (More info?)

I hate spiders in general...nasty, nasty creatures.

I often play a sorceress, right? So, I level up, was doing pure sorcerer, so
I take my level, pick some spells...and I hadn't HAD a summon yet, so I
figured it was about time...took the biggest summon I could, the other
spells offered, hit okay, didn't check WHAT MY SUMMON WAS.

Fast forward to just inside chapter two, in the bugbear/goblin/orc caves.
Henchwoman's not doing bad, but she needs some help keeping crowds away from
me long enough for me to cast buttkickers. "Hmmm...I guess I'll summon....A
SPIDER??? Oh, god no....". Gotta hand it to Bioware, though. Even the noises
are very icky and spiderish.

It's really funny to me that I go to rescue the farmer's wife, and she's so
happy to see me. I dunno about you, but if a crazy sorceress, an
overly-cheerful priestess, a big black panther, and a spider big enough to
EAT said panther came to get me out of my cell, I'd stay put.

A crazy sorceress with a big black panther... a Chaotic Neutral
Druid/Sorceror?
 
Archived from groups: alt.games.neverwinter-nights (More info?)

Nah-uh. Pure sorceress, chaotic good. Panther familiar. Panther's the only
one that works for me...it's strong and durable enough to back me up
reasonably well, and while it can't disarm or unlock, it IS quite good at
spotting traps...and after just a little while, you have spells to disarm
and unlock anyway.

Hee hee. Yeah, THAT would get them out of there pretty fast, wouldn't it?

I dunno about 'honorable adventuring'...I tend to jack everything that's
jackable, unless it's minor or way out of my way. Horray for putting the
'chaotic' back in 'chaotic good'!

The whole treasure-chest/barrel/box thing did always make me curious,
though. Perhaps some of the creatures of the land are obsessive/compulsive?

Heh! Reminds me of the Generika comic on the BioWare site - "Let's go
adventuring down in the city of Neverwinter! I hear it's so rich,
that you can find gold in barrels on the street!"

More things I hate 🙂

Magic Bags/Bags of holding - cuz they're 5 boxes high - just short of
what you need to stack two suits of armor on top of each other - and
you can't turn your stuff sideways to make it fit!

Bloody good point about the bags/boxes of holding. Still, as my Mrs
would say "it's only a freakin' game, if you want reality come to bed now".
