I know this is probably the way it was meant to be played yet i have to ask.How come you cant rest anywhere without getting these horrible visits by bands of hill giants.:doh: I clear out a room full of ogres in the ToEE and close the door to ensure a bit of safety.Well I go to rest just 8hrs and all of a sudden the room is filled with 3 hulking beast of hill giant nature that are also flatfooted.How did they get in the room without seeing us So after 3 attempts at resting and the room getting filled with some tough nasty creatures Ive come to realize that you have to go back to hommlet to the wicked wench to rest after every encounter.is that what you all do?
Well, I guess the Hill Giants are patrolling and stumble upon you. Therefore you can surprise them. After all, they're not exactly silent footed. As for resting after every encounter, I try not to do that. Many people say the game is too easy, but if you don't rest all the time you will increase your challenge. Plus in a role playing sense its not very clever to rest in an unsafe area like a major stronghold of evil! Have you noticed the coloured tent symbol? Green means its a secure location to rest in. Yellow means its potentially risky.
I guess your right.It would become very neverwinterish in that you can breeze thru like a cakewalk.Thats not a good thing. I was gonna put out some lounge chairs for the crew and mix some drinks but considered otherwise after the intrusion
the moathouse spider tower is safe to rest in, as is the spiral staircase in the temple (even though the icon is yellow).
Thanks,I found about the staircase last night.My wimpy magic users need lots of tender care to perform their rampage. Can you tell me what the max level is by end of game?I dont wanna start another thread to get one answer,thanks.
I've had an evil group of 5 reach level 15 by the end of the game before, I waited until I got to the Temple before taking any NPC's at all, then took Scorpp, Oohlgrist and Wonnilon. The Troll Chief with 2 levels of ranger (2 weapon style), flametongue, and frostbrand is a one Troll wreaking crew. EDIT That was before Verbobonc, Hickory Branch and the Moathouse respawn even existed so it may be possible to reach even higher levels now.
Oh, thanks about the info with this staircase ! I've almost become nuts while [my party] constantly being attacked !
Such a dam shame that this gem didnt succeed.Would of loved to seen different modules come out.We do have CO8 so there is light at this tunnel. Some more questions Alyx.What is Verbobonc and hickorybranch. The moathouse respawn is great and next on my list for more power.:Crazy_Lio Thing is that temple is too easy at just lvl6 so I may forgo the quest for power this time thru.
Verbobonc is a collection of 15 of the games least used maps, populated by Humans, Gnomes, Drow, Arachnids, and Dragons, 7 new quests, 5 new merchants, 2 new reputations, approx 2 hours of game play, and a whole lot of fun (but as the writer of this mod, I would say that). Hickory Branch is 2 new maps, full of baddies for a couple of hours of hack and slash fun.
Great and how do I get to these places?I cant seem to find anything.The two maps called ruined tower and burned down house that are accesible from the main toee map are empty.Theres no doors or laders or whatnot.Am I missing something here? Thanks
The female prisoners in the 1st floor of the temple dungeon, and the male prisoners on the 2nd floor can take you (<=5.0.1) or tell you how to get there (>5.0.2), also Toruko and Rufus (depending on your group alignment) can take you there. To get to Hickory Branch, ask Mona for a challenging adventure.
Thats why.I only have 5.00 and am afraid to install the newer fixes as it might not work with my game. Also Mona doesnt give me that option when I speak to her even with my best sociable character.
After you have retrieved Mona's orb for her, and gotten her business back on it's feet, you can get her to foretell your future. She says she can change one little thing for you in the future, and you are given a list of choices as to what to ask for. To get the map to Hickory Branch, you must ask for a challenging adventure. You only get one chance to ask for this in the game. If you ask for something else, you never get to Hickory Branch. Also, if you mock her you will need to talk to her again with a character with fairly high social skills before you will get the option to have her foretell your future. Allyx said <= 5.0.1 for the prisoners to take you to Verbobonc. That means with 5.0.0 or 5.0.1 they take you there.
Dang I guess I didnt choose adventure.I cant remember but I probably chose another fling with that S&M chick. I didnt get to the prisoners yet but Im off now to try again.Thanks
