NWN newbie MP Query
   

Greetings,

Although I have played many RPGs and MMORPGs, I've not done NWN.
I'm most interested in the online multiplay which where I've heard the game truly excels.

Could those of you most experienced and knowledgeable help me out?

Which of the games/xpacs should I puchase?
Which of the mods?
How would I go about getting into a good MP game?
Any other advice?

I'd really appreciate any help offered.
Thanks
Howard

1. All of them.
2. The host is the one that will be worrying about the mod used. But if you just want a fun one to play go to here.
Most mods are on this site and that's a listing of the best.
3. Just ask around. I host a game every Saturday evening. There are some others who host games as well. I've been hosting games since it was released with a few dry spells.
4. I posted a quick FAQ about multiplayer games in my NWN Yahoo group. Here are some of the tips I listed:

A few things to keep in mind while playing in a multiplayer session.
1. You are playing with other people. So, keep in mind their level of enjoyment too. It's not as
much fun when someone spoils the game for others. Share loot and keep the party happy.
2. Don't purposefully kill NPCs. It may get you booted off the server.
3. You're on a team now, try to stick with the group if you can. Pay attention to the dialogs and
keep track of quests using your journal. This can avoid unnessecary confusion.
4. As soon as you are in the party, switch to "Party" chat. That way, everyone can keep
communicating even when in different areas.
5. Respect other players and they'll respect you.
6. Have fun role-playing. Don't role-play something blatantly inappropriate however. Keep a sense
of humor.

With these tips in mind, you'll have a lot more fun.

NWN vault has some good guides here.

Gamebanshee has a more in-depth guide though. Look here.
