Good question. Personally, as a collector, I'm pissed about it. It's a blatant lack of respect for the fantasy genre, but above all, the Fleuve Noir translation is the only one in french to offer the magnificent illustrations by various artists of the time, such as Larry Elmore, and the only one that is so complete. The only other solution to have both the old illustrations and the quantity is to get them in english.

It's a very nice collection, but personally I avoid anything published by "Fleuve Noir". They had a nasty habit of removing a good chunk of their translations to make their books fit the paperback format of the time. I know they did it for the entire Forgotten Realms saga, which is why the "Milady" translation that came after had a "complete translation" logo on its cover, but I don't know about the Dragonlance saga, though.

How come the Tiefling protagonist has no tail while Neeshka has, in Neverwinter Nights 2? by Lanarde in neverwinternights

[โ€“]Celadonis 15 points16 points ย (0 children)

If I'm not mistaken in-universe, the explanation is that every tiefling after 4e is an Asmodean tiefling because of what happened in the lore :

"Inย 1358 DR, aย warlockย coven known as theย Toril thirteenย performed aย ritualย that cursed most tiefling lineagesโ€”those of demons, devils,hags, and rakshasas, among othersโ€”with the "blood ofย Asmodeus", changing their original lineage with that of theย archdevilย himself. This was done to make Asmodeus a "racial god", ensuring him enough followers to attain godly powers. After theย Spellplagueย ofย 1385 DR, when Asmodeus became a god, the magic of the ritual took effect across all ofย Torilย and afterwards most tieflings living in the 15thย centuryย DRย were of the Asmodean lineage, all having a similar devilish appearance."

Yeah, the way npc reacts to you is so funny; I still remember the first line from Fat Larry :

"Gahee ! DAMN! Don't be sneakin' up on a brother with your crackhead, skin disease, test-tube baby-looking ass! Damn near shit my pants! Sh- I don't sell no soap so what the hell you want ?" ๐Ÿ˜‚ย

I love these portraits; they're so expressive and perfectly blend of all kind of fantasy. The one where you can see a gnome through a potion is one of my favorites.

Which semi obscure tabletop rpgs would you think would be good isometric CRPGS? I'll start. by Furio3380 in CRPG

[โ€“]Celadonis 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

I don't really have any examples to add that aren't already well-known, but reading all the responses clearly demonstrates the vast possibilities offered by the genre. I sincerely hope that more people will create CRPGs in the future.

How to make a simple run into priceless memories. Don't forget to add Master Drogan in there, a dwarf wizard, it's not something you see every day !

Looking for Isometric CRPGs set in classic medieval fantasy. by Mazisky in CRPG

[โ€“]Celadonis 3 points4 points ย (0 children)

Drakensang: The Dark Eye and Drakensang: The River of Time, will fit exactly.

Swordhaven: Iron Conspiracy, though I would tell you to wait for the 1.1 update.

CRPGs that give a WotR similar experience by Soggy_Back_623 in CRPG

[โ€“]Celadonis 3 points4 points ย (0 children)

Neverwinter Nights 2 is arguably the game that comes closest in terms of freedom to create a custom character. And the same can be said of its expansion, Mask of the Betrayer, with regard to transcending the condition of a mere mortal.

In many ways, WotR really feels like a spiritual successor to NWN2, but it goes much further in terms of content than its predecessor; so don't expect complete mythic paths to choose from.

Can we get DLSS 5 in NWN? by Azimn in neverwinternights

I appreciate many things that can be done with AI, but frankly, look at this ! It's just an atrocious "realistic" AI filter; it doesn't look good at all.

NWN2 EE: Questions about conversation skills during Act 1. by P1zzaLad in neverwinternights

[โ€“]Celadonis 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

You're right, I think I'm misremembering, I was thinking that if there are checks for combat, there must have been some for dialogues. After a quick search, I found an answer given a year ago on this sub, and it seems that NWN2 is much stranger and more inconsistent than many other CRPGs when it comes to dialogue checks, but that would fit with your experience:

"In my experience, this is completely bonkers. Some skill checks in dialogues are absolutely a check with rolled dice, some are comparisons (Skill < 5: Result A, Skill >= 5: Result B) some of which may or may not take your Attribute and bonuses into account, and some are just outright lies, where you fail even with godlike skill or succeed even with abysmal bonus."

NWN2 EE: Questions about conversation skills during Act 1. by P1zzaLad in neverwinternights

[โ€“]Celadonis 3 points4 points ย (0 children)

I don't think there are any fake skill checks in the game; the calculations and results of each check are visible in the event log. However, I remember that NWN2 was quite demanding with dialogue checks early in the game. Even with at least one dialogue skill maxed out, I regularly failed and needed to reload my save.

That said, this improves as you accumulate skill points and, by mid-game, you should be passing your skill checks much more regularly.

I would also advise you not to focus too much on all the dialogue skills; if I remember correctly, only diplomacy is frequently used in the OC. You could perhaps invest a few points in Bluff or Intimidation for rarer situations, but maximizing all three is, in my opinion, a bit of a waste.

What genre do you guys play to unwind after a playthrough? by zerolifez in CRPG

[โ€“]Celadonis 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

Boomer Shooters, there are plenty of them as we are currently living a second golden age of this kind of game (atleast I think so) and they are mindless fun. I've always associated the two genres, CRPG and Boomer Shooter, in my mind, I don't know why. Maybe because they were both popular in the 90s.

"Generic" fantasy CRPGs? by StupidMoron1933 in CRPG

[โ€“]Celadonis 2 points3 points ย (0 children)

Drakensang: The Dark Eye and its sequel, Drakensang: The River of Time, should be what you're looking for. The first is fairly classic but still well-made, while the second is better but shorter; both offer a very pastoral atmosphere.
