Love steam, more or less live through it at times.
But, anyone up for sucking our way through Neverwinter? Downloading it now while I fuck about with dinner. Though current DL rate puts me at 10 before it'll finish, let alone install...
I rather like Neverwinter. It's rather enjoyable, though they several bosses who are
That ONE Boss. Usually they've either got BFW's (Big freaking weapons), are undead with the ability to literally suck the HP out of you, tend to call huge groups of the heavy-hitters from the area attacks, or some combination of all three.
Also, if you've played Neverwinter Nights, and haven't exactly kept up with the lore, you tend to go "what happened to this town?!"
Are y'all going to start a guild? It'd be cool to have an FSTDT guild on there. I play Dragon server. My Guardian fighter (which can block damn near anything as long as her stamina holds out) is Solunarus Risdine.
Control wizard is kind of hard to solo, I found the cleric a bit... WTF with wielding a holy symbol as a weapon, rogue is a lot of fun, and has the best hats until about level 30 or so, and I haven't tried Great Weapon Fighter yet. There's also another class that may be coming out, later. Probably Druid or Ranger. There is another race coming out, too. More than likely Drow.
Additionally, there seems to be race-based, and class based quests available in some areas. If you're a half elf (or half-orc I would presume), for example, you can persuade a tribe of half-orcs to become Neverwinter's allies, which opens up at least one other quest path. As a rogue you can get covert missions to either sabotage the local gangs, or ahem "reclaim" lost artifacts. As a Guardian Fighter, you can join the Neverwinter Militia as a freelance corporal. I've also seen seemingly random elf, dwarf, drow, and halfling characters that you can talk to, and some say pithy things about their particular race, but because you are NOT the right race, that's it.
This is why I suspect that the last race is going to be Drow. Because A. you are unable to choose what kind of elf you can be in the character creation (which sucks) and B. I saw a "Mysterious Drow" in a couple of places.
