OT: Best D&D RPG Game?

[narf poit chez BOOM]

i'm trying the NWN nights demo and am currently playing an elf sorcerer/wizard. i figure i'll use the sorcerer slots for the combat spells and spells i'll use often and the wizard slots for variaty spells which will be usefull, but probably won't be used more than once. once i hit level 3, i'll add another slot. probably a spellcaster, maybe monk so my guy has decent defence.

sub-race just allows you to slap another name on a race, right?

i'm getting the urge to buy it and multiplayer - if only to have party member's who aren't clueless.

funny thing: when i created my sorcerer character, i created a familier. called him 'garfield'. got a wizard level, created a new one. called him 'heathcliff'. new one replaced the old one. and here i was hoping i'd get two. do i have to tell you guys what my familier was?

weird thing: most of the time, my familier's legs don't move when it walks. glitch, i suppose. also, why can't i choose to run? would help while luring goblins in for that companion you pick up early and my familier to kill.

Do you like the game so far?

it's about 2:20 at night. next question?

in 3.5, a multiclass monk can't gain monk levels. is that true for NWN to? if it is, guess i'll go with rogue or something.

Its now 3:27 am, I am board sh*tless, and wide awake. Next question is: Is the game fun and if so on a scale of 1 (Bad) and 10 (Awsome) what would those of you who have played it rank it?

so far? 7. it's fun, but so far it hasn't done anything much to distinguish itself from any other of it's type. it hasn't done anything much to seem worse. except the interface. there's three function key's to hit, F1-12, shift F1-12 and ctrl F1-12. you can use these for pretty much any action, including text macros and emotions. right click on something and your available options come up in a circle around it. i'm not sure if i'll like it; sometimes the surounding icons are hard to pick out of the background, but it may end up being fast. you can queie up options while paused. the game lacks a true top-down view and tends to sufer from the walls-blocking-view-syndrome. i don't think they go transparent, either.

constant "So and so wants to talk" interuptions really detract from the game.

Umm.... interacting with the characters in the game is a major factor of it being a RPG.
