I played through the whole OC without using one of the mods that allows you to multi-class the companions, though. I should have done that. It would have been nice to simply have the option to build them into prestige classes. There are several to choose from on the Vault.<br /><br />Maybe we could try doing a co-op play session! I've seen footage of people playing together through the original campaign, along with the usual AI companions.Tchoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00920669888854572132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750008576069337451.post-86755756140043107882012-01-01T16:37:41.975-08:002012-01-01T16:37:41.975-08:00Been playing the game very slowly after work (yay ...Been playing the game very slowly after work (yay for the Steam sale!). Now that I just made it to Neverwinter I came back here and read this post. It is nice to see how you notice different things.<br /><br />My character is a Chaotic Good ranger, but I've been thinking on trying as a rogue on a second time, since I end up preferring to control the tiefling girl. When I played table games of D&D, I'd always go as a bow ranger, so I am trying to keep on that path at least on the 1st play through :)Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13296189997017762635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750008576069337451.post-77179906140712951132011-12-11T11:07:53.463-08:002011-12-11T11:07:53.463-08:00As far as I can tell, the game doesn't address...As far as I can tell, the game doesn't address Neverwinter city's temperature at all, aside from the fog and the way people are dressed. I could have missed something, though.<br /><br />I do concede the bit about outside the city.

It's the area around the city that isn't warm, and unless people are staying right up against the Neverwinter River they might want to dress appropriately.<br /><br />Of course, if you think of it that way, you'd expect some of the nobles to have summer clothes all the time, having never left the city (and thus not needing winter clothes)...Jackkelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750008576069337451.post-3604283360263952132011-12-11T10:04:45.061-08:002011-12-11T10:04:45.061-08:00Well, anyway, I'll go with the chilly north th...Well, anyway, I'll go with the chilly north thing as far as the fog goes, since I wasn't familiar with the geography of the region, but for the clothing factors, I do also believe what Annie said about the executive meddling.<br /><br />That, and if the game explanation meant to get rid of the heated river origin of the name by replacing it with the "Lord Never's Winter" explanation, then it no longer matches with other towns with names that describe themselves, like "Highcliff", "Westgate", and "Waterdeep".<br /><br />So, I mark it as a bit of game lore that I don't like. :)Tchoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00920669888854572132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750008576069337451.post-51904265716919172872011-12-11T09:26:47.797-08:002011-12-11T09:26:47.797-08:00Ah, that's what his name was.

Aside from Neverwinter city itself (which has the heated river and formerly the Source Stone to keep it warm), NWN2 takes place far enough north to claim it's usually cold there. Plus, we've got Nerevar or whatever his name was, which is what the NWN games claim the city was named after.<br /><br />I had more to say, but I forgot what it was... maybe I'll post it later if I remember it.Jackkelnoreply@blogger.com
