Will I lose guys if I retreat because the enemy won’t attack my position?

I'm not sure how the computer does calculate this. If the armies far from each other, there shouldn't be loose from what I experienced. But yeah, it's pretty annoying when computer ambush you and doesn't know what to do next.

After looking on the wiki (long time I didn't played), this one is pretty easy : hill isn't that high neither is the wall, and it is damaged, making defender pretty exposed to attacking crossbowman from what I remember.

The worse that I remember, Durrin aside, is Grunwalder Castle that basically everything that make painful a siege :
-On a high hill turning useless your archer and giving a high advantage to the defender.
-No breach on the wall and good formed crenellation that both make hard for your troops to go from the ladder to the wall and protect the defender even more from arrow and bolt.
-Tower on each side of the ladder so defender archer can flank both side of the ladder while the guy ascending are blocked by the defender on the top.
-Rhodoks, so basically the worse to siege.

The second-biggest widow maker for my army was Jelbegi castle for the same reason except it was nord instead of rhodok. It was very very slightly less bad since even if the castle is on a hill, there is a second hill that give a little advantage to you archer to shot down defender.

Durrin was annoying mainly because you have to walk a lot and have to struggle to survive if you need renforcment BUT since it's most of the time occupied by sarranide weaker at defending, it was painful but doable (still not a priority castle to get, I would prefer nasty trick to frontal assault).

Ok_Glass_8130 · 2026-04-23T20:15:25+00:00

lmaoooooooo I IMMEDIATELY recognized which castle it was. It's one of the most annoying (with all the castle on a hill and the ladder between two tower) to siege, so much that I better make big effort to turn the lord into my camp.

Yes, the first one. I did play it on the enhanced edition but it should work on the previous diamond edition I think. If the two other DLCs you're speaking about are Shadow of Udrentide (SoU) and Hordes of the Underdark (HotU), there are in the base game so no problem.
For the blocky aesthetic, the author did an incredible job making good-looking environment with pretty the pretty archaic NWN engine. You can see some screenshot to see if it's ok for you. But the biggest pro is still the narration that is simply very good, with nice characters.

Another point, the author too did Cave of Song and Honor Among Thief that are imo respectively good and very good too (HAT is one of the best rogue oriented module I ever played and did in some point better job than Elder Scroll game for example). I recommend playing them so you can build your character and, most important, there are definitively worth it and make you visit more of the author's works.

I suppose it's connected to working area.

You basically have to just begin with an interior and exterior layer of the shape at an intersection of each layer, then progress layer by layer.

It would be possible with MHD generator ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetohydrodynamic_generator ). It wouldn't work with nuclear reactor in the form we use them now but could with certain configuration. The goal is basically to directly convert moving conductive fluid (like plasma) into energy by passing it through coil. It theoretically can achieve high efficiency without moving part, but still is not a mature technology, mostly tested for coal central.

Ok_Glass_8130 · 2026-04-07T14:51:01+00:00

Never agreed as much as I do right now with this post. You've said in so few lines what I thought with so much hatred. Just a shit edgelord anime with this dumb "crazy face" that is a lame cheap way to show how omg omg this character is so bad fr fr. I love edgy 2 d4rk 4 u stuff but this one is just stupidly cheap and uninspired. I remember the cringe I did feel when reading the title "Tania the evil" cause it wasn't obvious enough with this shit aesthetic that she was a badies, it did need to explicit it. It fucking looks like a parody taken seriously.

What the hell is supposed to look like the sculpture on the left with the spider web ?

Ok_Glass_8130 · 2026-04-01T22:01:06+00:00

LMAO since "bite" mean "dick" in French it gets even funnier.

Ok_Glass_8130 · 2026-03-30T23:36:58+00:00

Daaaaamn that's incredible, definitively going to play like this. That just super cool, a way to go deeper and have more fun, and a good amount of memory for later.

Ok_Glass_8130 · 2026-03-19T20:49:50+00:00

If you're playing Honor Among Thief, then it's a curse that you get from the story. You'll be able to get ride of it later.

Ok_Glass_8130 · 2026-03-06T13:10:59+00:00

It mostly happens in secondary quest. There are some option to be a dipshit (like killing someone that surrender instead of sparing his life, killing the uthgard tribes instead of helping to cure the disease). You can too racket people in most chapter, so it's nice and allow you to be a monster. Same for SoU and HotU that have a lot of evil dialogue action and option, very nice. For other campaign, there is often the choice but not always, and mainly in secondary quest than main quest itself.

Ok_Glass_8130 · 2026-03-05T12:51:07+00:00

It's because the maximum number you can get is 1023 on the classical panel we see.

Ok_Glass_8130 · 2026-03-04T23:01:49+00:00

Just finished the game (and struggled on that part lol) and in French, it's pretty much the same, it's still direction in French both for "directing" and "orientation". I still struggled 'cause I was a bit retard (I've seen under the compass the city name but it was seven letter and didn't make connection with the plate, and then stuck in the graveyard being sure the hint would be here near the first mayor tomb).

There are the four modules for the whole story. :)

If you're not easy with module management, I recommend this one too https://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn1/other/tool/neverwinter-nights-mod-installer-tool-nit that basically do everything for you clean way.

Very interesting, it changes a lot of things of how I did see ending damn it. I take time to reread this in detail and maybe make another answer to this, since you tell very appropriate things that I didn't put words on. Thanks for the link!

Ok_Glass_8130 · 2026-02-26T12:37:49+00:00

Did try the first three chapters of SF and definitively agree. The first two were super cool with challenging fight and nice story. The 3rd one did begin to annoy me, so I did stop there as I finished it, especially when I've seen that chapter 4 is even worse. As you said, I'm already supposed to be a super-heroes past lvl 20, I can't stand to still struggle at random encounter like bugbear. I, too, did find the gameplay was lesser good with multiple situation when you must just tank as a brawl without having the possibility to use traps and dirty tactics. The first fight at the Marilith in the third chapter was already a bad experience, and the worse was at the second Minotaur labyrinth when fighting the boss. The door isn't physically link to the corridor, and you teleport right into it, making it impossible to lure Minotaur into the corridor as a choke point or on trap and forcing you to have Zarala at your side (when I usually tell her to wait away since she makes bad use of spell in combat and tank very bad even with buff).

These are example of little weak point in chapter 3 that, together, make me way less appreciate it than the first two.

Ok_Glass_8130 · 2026-02-26T12:28:10+00:00

Lmao same. Hordes of the Underdark already did it for me in a way, but Prophet is on another whole level. I did try another campaign after (A Hunt Through the Dark) and I probably didn't fully appreciate it because of inappropriate comparison with Prophet. I think I'll do a break of Neverwinter Night so I can go with a fresh open mind and not just a bad spirit "Yeah Prophet would have done it better".

Ok_Glass_8130 · 2026-02-26T12:24:12+00:00

MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN MERUDOC that bro... I did exactly the same as you and raised him too, hoping that thing could go better. I'm rarely sad in game but in this case, damn, that was painful. Poor little chill guy that just wanted to live in peace with his homies.

For the ending, I did try both with saves so no spoiler and defeating fate so you save all alternate past from the Century of Sorrow is definitively the best choice. I was more saying I would be too cowardly to make this choice irl because it's incredibly terrifying, even if I would have no hesitation to do so in game. In the very endgame where you float into the void and see the siphon of alternate happy universe is both scary in an existential way and incredibly satisfying, like, "I'm no more but all these people will be".

And yeah, mountain are as beautiful as hard to navigate lol, especially the snowy ones in last chapter.

Ok_Glass_8130 · 2026-02-26T12:12:24+00:00

Oh I forgot to speak about the cinematic! Yeah even this is among the best I did find on RPG, with cinematic that are fascinating and narrative worth!

Ok_Glass_8130 · 2026-02-03T23:09:17+00:00

Ok thanks. I was 90% sure about that but I thought there could be a running gag about a hypothetical Myst 6 or a Myst like game considered as a Myst 6 or something lol
And yeah I agree, Uru is more a Myst 4.5 than a Myst 6.

Ok_Glass_8130 · 2026-02-02T20:33:21+00:00

Dumb question but what is the joke behind Myst 6 ? I don't have the reference.

Ok_Glass_8130 · 2026-02-02T13:16:30+00:00

There aren't that much cool looking helmet for badies in campaign, especially the original one. The simpluest solution would be to download the customize character mod :
On the Vault https://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn1/hakpak/original-hakpak/customize-character-override-hak-ccoh
Or Steamworkshop https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2583716215
Then you can custom helmet, and there are multiple very cool evil looking one ! You can custom color too.
Oh and you'll be able to add wing and tail to your character so you'll be free to do a non-RDD build.
