IXBlackWolfXI: okay, I give up. there's no such thing as a role-player who's even a remotely decent person.

IXBlackWolfXI: and now you're telling me to never play again?????

IXBlackWolfXI: Isn't this fucking great?

Started a new game, this time with a paladin. Tried to do the beggar's nest after I found I couldn't do the penninsula district. Yeah, I was stupid enough to follow the advice of trolls again. That area's even harder than the peninsula district! And I'm a paladin! Yeah, I still get swarmed with 5-10 enemies at once, but at least they're not all rated as 'difficult'.

For anyone who is looking for advice on this forum: don't listen to anyone. Role-players are nothing but trolls that dupe noobs into doing stupid shit that will only get them killed. Don't listen to anyone, don't read any guides, just figure it out on your own, because no one will ever tell you anything that can possibly work.

almabrds: 'Teen drama'?
More like, an old fart throwing a tantrum, because he doesn't like Guardians of the Galaxy.
It's like shaking a red towel in front of a bull, it can't resist...

IXBlackWolfXI: Decided to try again at a fighter/weapon master. I did well with that the last playthrough, but I had to quit bc I couldn't defend my rogue.

And its the same story this game. The enemies always always always ignore me and run off to kill Tomi, and I can't always block their path so they can't get to him. Also, Tomi doesn't have enough sense to switch weapons when he's in melee, so he keeps using his bow (on the things attack me and not him) and provoking attacks of opportunity.

Got into the prison again, and faced the same damned problem: more than a dozen enemies all in my face. Luckily, it turns out that you can use the stone of recall mid-combat, and it doesn't even provoke an attack of opportunity! I had to use it half a dozen times to kill everything. Kill one or guys, stone back at a sliver of health, and to retrieve Tomi, and repeat 6 times, and you got yourself 15 (I counted) dead prisoners. It seems like anytime I start a fight now, literally every enemy in the zone converges on my location. I really noticed this when I was in the begger's nest. I started a fight with a few zombies near the entrance. I sat there for several minutes watching my paladin auto-attack a seemingly endless wave of zombies. Literally every zombie in the zone had come to that little spot, except the few who were attacking citizens. Don't know why my game is behaving this way, but oh well.

And I'm thinking of changing my character, again. Why? I'm missing persuade. And don't listen to all the idiot trolls that say charisma is useless and persuade is a waste of points. It is in virtually all custom modules, bc all rpers ever want to do is kill shit. But the OC rewards you greatly for having that skill. Honestly, you'll get more out of it than lock pikcing to give you an idea of how important it is. There's half a dozen npcs that will give you quest chains, but only if you're the right class. But you can easily persuade them to give you the quest even if you're not the required class. Essentially, if you don't have persuade, you're missing out on thousands of xp points and half the game's content.

And I'm typing this just so that anyone who does want serious help has something they can look at that will give them genuine advice.

And yes, I know I could just turn down the difficulty, and I am tempted to do that, but then I would feel guilty for cheating. Besides, in the past I played on the highest difficulty, so playing it at normal is kinda pushing it for me already. And yes, it really makes no sense why turning the difficulty down makes the game harder. I noticed this with nwn2 (the highest difficulty was actually the easiest, and the middle the hardest). Of course, that game was made by a different company, so....
