NWN2 Walkthrough Suggestion/Request

Post by Domi_Ash »

After a couple of the most frustrating hours in Skein, I would like to suggest/humbly request for the addition of one tiny update to your great walkthrough: A highlighted contour of all the connected corridors' in Skein. At the moment, the maze is very difficult to navigate, and since the main quest there is really boring, being able to know where to go would help to bypass this section quickly for the navigation challenged.

The map you see in the game isn't very helpful because it's too dark, but we tweaked it quite a bit for the version we have in the walkthrough, and it looks fairly clear to me. I'm not sure what else we could do that would be more helpful than distracting.

The only thing I would suggest would be the path (Lines in different colors) to the center so that you could get to Gann's Mad Mother.

Even using the map, with brightness on full, it took nearly an hour (and two sittings) to get to the middle.

Even now, I'm not certain how I did it.....

Filaminstrel did a rough copy of what I was suggesting at Bio boards:

Basically you guys did a similar thing for Ghost Herding in the OC's Gem Mines, perhaps a click-on/click off version of the above figure, a path through the maze? I have to say that with this map I was able to finish my Skein section with much less frustration.

I adjusted our map. I removed all the walkways that you can't actually get to, and so hopefully that makes it clearer about where you can go. But I don't see a good way to add lines to the map. The map you linked to is about as ugly and distracting as they come.

Hi, thank you for adjusting it, it looks a bit clearer than the in-game one, but yes, now it does not quite look like an in-game one. :)

Here is a map from your OC walkthrough that I was talking about that has the lines added to it. I thought it was very good:
