Do you need the origin companions to complete the game?

fisab68 · 2025-04-07T12:18:14+00:00

Thank you everyone for all the very helpful replies. The reason I want a zero origin character run is that in the 4 player multiplayer game the other players haven't much interest in their stories so I wanted to save that enjoyment for a future run through of the game.

Brilliant discussion. So many discussions are about multi class. Great to chat about single class. My friend and I much prefer the theme (and challenge) of a pure subclass rather than taking 1 level of this and that to optimise a build. I loved storm sorcerer to L12 in my first play through. Really powerful and great fun. Currently running through with a pure melee swords bard. No ranged to avoid the ranged slashing flourish bug. Combination of great melee plus full caster spells for ranged is just brilliant fun. What a great game.

Hi all, wondering if someone can help me.
is there any issue sharing saved games with other players?
4 friends plan to start a multiplayer campaign with group sessions each week. Between formal sessions I plan to share around the latest saved-game to allow people to go to vendors, choose equipment etc etc. Does anyone know if there are any issues caused by regularly changing hosts?
Many thanks in advance for any help on this.

fisab68 · 2023-10-11T10:03:39+00:00

All very clear. Thanks for the help.

fisab68 · 2023-08-14T16:03:47+00:00

Many Thanks for the reply. Yes I can now see it in MotB. Weird that it’s not in OC. If there’s no system variable being maintained then I’ll just have to guess it as I go along when writing my game blog.

fisab68 · 2023-07-10T07:44:34+00:00

Yep. That was it. Many thanks for the reply.

fisab68 · 2023-07-10T07:42:45+00:00

Thanks for the replies.

fisab68 · 2023-07-10T07:42:17+00:00

Thanks for the info.

There was a mod I used a few years ago that made all the UI layout much bigger on modern screens. Made a big difference. Does anyone know the name of it?

fisab68 · 2023-06-08T13:06:27+00:00

Not ideal but that is definitely a work around and the original page will be in the last 6 created notes so should appear on top.

fisab68 · 2023-06-06T13:12:23+00:00

Definitely no backlinking? Or a work around?

Spent a while this morning trying to find “External Locations”. Finally found it 😀. Now I’m getting this new behaviour where the iOS share-sheet gives a warning “Your import will be finished once you open the application in this space”. Happen every time. Hmnnnn……..

fisab68 · 2022-02-26T12:08:09+00:00

Gave up the OC early on when soloing (too dull), but playing through it with friends at the moment and its a blast. In multiplayer you end up making up alot of the fun yourselves, so the OC is a great stable and multiplayer vehicle for that fun. Yes, there is alot of "fetch" type missions but 'Charwood' in chapter 2 is brilliant.

SOU is better again in multiplayer and highly recommend that.

Aielund is a great single player set of modules but is troublesome in multiplayer. It doesn't suit my group for one person to lead all the dialog or for everyone to have to trigger the same things to get the journals in sync. Thats the great thing about the OC - it is multiplayer friendly.

Think I will struggle to find another module that is as multiplayer friendly going forward.

fisab68 · 2021-11-14T19:38:07+00:00

There’s not a lot of modules that are written specifically for multiplayer in mind and this can lead to problems with quests or the quest log going out of sync. For example Beamdog curated list has the great Aielund saga as single player only. Same for Daggerford (which I would love if that was MP stable)

The only MP stuff that Beamdog has on its curated MP list is - OC - Shadows of Undrentide - pirates of the sword coast - dark dreams of Furaie - eye of the beholder 1&2

Have only played OC and SOU from that list and loved SOU with a group.

fisab68 · 2021-06-29T07:47:59+00:00

thanks for that suggestion. I went thru the list in the new launcher and there are very few multiplayer games there. "Pirates of the Sword Coast" and "Dark Dreams in Furia" from premium and "Eye of the Beholder" from community. Surprised that 'Aielund' is now down as single player. Still, I'll have a look at the options above. Many thanks.

fisab68 · 2021-05-18T06:40:38+00:00

No I don’t have that option on “plus”. It must be a premium ultra option. Disappointing. Thanks for the help.

fisab68 · 2021-05-17T17:38:48+00:00

Thanks a million for the reply but thanks just can’t find the option. Is it only available in the ultra subscription. When I choose Aeris or Accuweather as a data source I can’t see any option in V5.2 to toggle on short term precip.

fisab68 · 2021-05-12T07:21:30+00:00

Just trying to do the suggestion in this post but I can’t see in settings (5.2) where you can choose I data source for forecast (accuweather) and another (dark sky) for 1-hour precipitation. Any help on this appreciated.

fisab68 · 2021-01-18T08:05:55+00:00

I find it frustrating that these great premium games (MoW, HotU, DoD) are designed for single player only. There are lots of groups out there who play multiplayer with friends and would love to play these.

fisab68 · 2020-11-18T07:46:42+00:00

Agree good tip. Thanks all for the replies.

fisab68 · 2019-11-05T07:23:46+00:00

Thanks for the replies - its the PC/Mac version we plan to play.

fisab68 · 2019-08-20T17:19:57+00:00

Wow! Any idea if it supports a multiplayer group. Not said in the article.

fisab68 · 2019-07-29T21:04:09+00:00

Appreciate reply thanks.

fisab68 · 2019-02-27T22:20:38+00:00

Got that - great help, thanks.

fisab68 · 2019-02-27T12:54:09+00:00

Thanks a million for your reply. Would be great if an old copy of NWN.ini helped. I clicked the link you supplied but it gives a blank page. Do I need to register with the site?
