Spoilerish- Gorgonzola Ending? Always this way?

[Luis Antonio]

And then folks, there was me:

An Elven Sorcerer (17 th level) Ranger (2 levels). Havent finished as sorcerer alone cause I had not enough charisma (16 at beggining, 18 at the end, spent some points on strenght. My main atributes were dexterity and charisma). The reason I dualed to ranger because of the bonuses they receive against a special creature (lizardman).

My fellow partner, Daelan, my familiar, a Panther, and a summoned air elemental.

Well, after defeating thath Morag friends, wich was kinda easy, except for my henchman, familiar and summon will atack the still invincible Morag if I was not carefull (the AI is a sht). Then Morag. I killed the statue, and the first defences with fireballs. Then turned to the icy boy and wacked him with spells. Another defences down.

My henchmen were dead at this time, and her summons were blocked by the praying boys, with Morag wacking my stoneskin. Then I cast elemental shield on myself.

Bingo! The M beetch will wack herself until death. Every blow she gave me returned twenty two elemental damage upon her, and gives me only 5 dmg AFTER my stoneskin had gone out. My only procedures were to dring a potion of heal, and barskin to raise my ac. No big deal.

Now, my question:

Is that ever that easy?

Is it hard to kill her with a fighter?

Why do I feel so hollow when I do look at the game box?

Combine poor AI with high level spells - and you will always have it rather easy. The AI in this game is not really terrible intelligent.

But highlevel spell casters have it rather easy in my oppinion in the end game(s).

My sorcerer (L16) used 4 spells in total (Chain Lightning, Time Stop Scroll, Haste, Tenser Transformation) from entering Morags "lair" (had an active Stoneskin before hand) and to her death while Dealan ran around and did god knows what.
(Only used 2 spells for the end boss in HotU - but that was pure luck though )

It is somewhat more difficult with a pure meele and rouge characters though (again - imo), but I never had much difficulty in beating Morag with all the equiptment that is in the game.

You know, last time I've played the game my char was a barbarian. The Morag chosen were easy as pie, and I've quited playing there.

IMO, our Lady Aribeth de Tylmarande and that blasted spellcaster (the evil one, I forgot his name, Maugrim I think) were harder than that bossgirl. And Aribeth battle does not allow simple cheese, and she is insanely strong.

I havent bought SoU nor HoU, nor any expansions for this game, now that I've finished it I'm considering it. But I dont know, seems all too easy for me.

SoA and ToB are sooo better.

Now I've started soloing NWN with a pure class fighter. Let's see what happens.

[Xandax]

Well - personally I found SoU and especially HotU more enjoyable then the original NwN campaign module.

As for the difficulty - well - it remains rather lowish unfortunally. Not many difficult puzzles or plot-twists.

[Luis Antonio]

Anybody up to a tactics mod for NWN?

That'll be cool, dont you think?

Improved Aribeth, Improved Klauth, Improved Maugrim...

And lots of harder encounters...

[Ekental]

ugh tactics... BG tactics was hard enough...
Anyway I found the bosses to be incredibly easy,
Aribeth was just super easy, with a ring of elemental resist or some such you can just pound her with spells till she asks you to stop. Then you can kill her, or send her back.
For me Morag was the harder because at first I couldn't figure out how to damage those stupid protectors... when I finally did it was fairly easy to summon something of the correct element to kill Morag, blasting her with the correct spells worked pretty well too after you eleminate one or two protectors

[Luis Antonio]

Hard Enough, but cool, you might agree... I really am very proud to have finished it, even though with a lot of cheese.
