For anyone that should check this article that doesn’t already know, the 3 install limit has been REMOVED from Mysteries of Westgate. It still requires a single online activation, but beyond that there’s no DRM interference. Go forth and purchase, I know I will.

I tried going through MOTB, but I dislike facets of their personality. The whole expansion is pretty much -

“It’s not my fault I eat souls and no I don’t care about your wolf friend.”
“I admire your resolve, but I think destroying the wall is stupid. Good luck with that.”
“Red Wizards are evil, no I’m not biased.”
“Please stop talking about yourself. And whining, stop that too.

And please **** off and die, all of you. Huzzah!

hey RPS, help me out here. Is it worth getting this or SoZ knowing that I HATE the mechanics/engine/bloat of NWN2. Don’t get me wrong, both NWN2 and MotB have had fairly decent storylines, but how am I supposed to progress when I keep shouting at the camera?

“Taking to long to release so one cares” That’s actually a good way to avoid anyone to pirate the game.

I love the “it was in the depths of some unnamed dungeon…” The writers got the lead out for this one!

“In desperation, you sought advice from the sage Jim Cramer… ‘DO NOT SELL!’ he screamed, ‘Ossian stock is on the UP!’ Days later, your gold was scattered to the four winds…”

Wow this would’ve been such a definite buy 2 years ago. . . But now I have like six other games on my mind and I’m not in a NWN2 phase right now.

Way to go Atari!

You know, if I was a high level adventurer, I don’t think I’d stand for some sage shouting and pointing his finger at me. I pay my sages for sagacious advice. Jesus, dude, just tell me where the mask’s from. Don’t get all hysterical on me.

I had to give up on NWN2 when I got to the final level and it wouldn’t let me rest to regain my spells . Which meant I was left with a two wizards, a warlock and a cleric having to melee their way through the toughest monsters in the game.

i’ve been completely fascinated by how polarizing NWN2 and its expansions are.

i personally got over my problems with the engine but couldn’t get past how much i hated each and every companion in the first campaign.

MoTB just felt melodramatic for the sake of melodrama, the soul eating mechanic seemed a crude way of trying to deliver the moral grey area and heft the first campaign blissfully ignored.

i loved SoZ, tho. it brought party play back to NWN without distracting me by constantly trying to get my party members killed because i hated them so much.

Is NWN2 fixed yet, was bust on release (obv.) – I tried it again a couple of years later and was still broken, is it playable yet?

@Gauntt

Thanks, that was a good read. Sounds like something easily worth $10, but for the 3 install limit (with no revocations, no less).

I don’t buy rentals, but if/when they remove that idiocy I’m there.
