Nice job hijacking my thread, guy.
Not to play my namesake, but if you actually were around more often, it probably would be less likely to happen.

I loved that guy. He was just too cool, and had the best story ever, and you had to be a total dick to get him...
Which means TL ate the soul of a bear god and used his lifeless husk to create a horrible amalgamation of imprisoned villainous spirits! Wow, TL, I didn't know you had it in you!

1) It started as an accidental click (devouring Oku). But I went with it.
2) I was very much so not sold on the "this is the evil thing to do" when I ran into the spirits, had a place they could find new life, and said, "Yeah, sure, okay."
3) I regretted everything ever since and had two play-throughs - one with OoM, and one without. I never got very far in the one with OoM's, but I'm aware that he eats the souls of your friends at the end or somesuch (as I said, I never got that far), and that he canonically appears elsewhere in NWN games (I'm not sure where).
As an aside, I really called "malarky" on the whole nighthag coven/rend the dream-thing they had going on.
Were it a PnP, and I actually had epic spellcasting (like my character should have, if they'd accurately imported epic spellcasting from the ELH*), I'd totes have made my own epic spell "keep the dream" which basically just stole their whole "dream-information-storage-thing" from them, and kept it going, without the invasive "kill everyone to get there" thing they had going on. Heck, even needing sentient creatures to maintain would be no problem: crafting sentient magic items (lousy required work tables/+3 limits), calling benevolent outsiders, and so on... dang it.

It's Storm of Zehir where he appears. You can feed him NPCs for exp, or you can straight out (try to) kill him (and be so dead, since he's epic am d SoZ ends around 15th level).

My One-of-Many is kind of a conglomeration of the Many from System Shock, the Borg from Star Trek, the Cybermen from Doctor Who, and a few other things. Amusingly despite the name similarity NWN2 (which I've not played much of) was not one of them.

Ah. Though, from what I've played, SoZ is pretty solid, it's a very different experience from the other NWNs.
I am bitter about how SoZ replaced the extremely awesome MotB theme (which, itself, was an awesome revision - "remix"? - of the NWN2 theme, which was already pretty excellent). With SoZ the brass horn sounds - which are probably fine - just clash, pretty heavily, with the visuals, and tone of the game. I keep seeing the dark, brooding atmosphere of the selection screens, and hearing the bright blaring clash of the brass/horns of the SoZ theme, and it's just... painful. For me, despite the fact that it's not bad music, it kind of "visually feels" (I have no other way of describing this) like cymbals clashing repeatedly in front of my face when I'm trying to get ready for the game.

I actually highly recommend Netflix. I've been catching up on a lot of things that I missed out on over the years thanks to picking it up, and it's rather inexpensive - like he said, first month's free, after that it's less than $10.
We have Hulu, I won't use Netflix, on account of what massive a&@%!#*s they were when they were doing the whole red envelope method.
Not a fan at all.

I have YouTube, and I keep finding enough shows to make me forget I ever need TV.
It's not that traditional TV is bad; it's great. But there's enough free out there of high calibre out there to keep me busy for a looooong time.
I just finished Death Battle, am all caught up on both DBZ Abridged and FF7 Machinabridged, and have enough VSauce nerdery (and I mean nerdery with this one, not geekery - geekery is nice but sometimes I want force to be mass times acceleration instead of a ripoff of the Hindu religion) to last me years.
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
I dunno, I'll go ahead and stick my neck out and say most stuff on traditional TV is bad. There's a reason I don't have cable, and it's not cost =) (though lacking that expense is nice)
There's some gems out there, but not enough to make it worth paying full price for cable or TV service when you can get Netflix or something similar at a much cheaper rate, or otherwise watch stuff online.

It probably helps that my default entertainment is more playing video games than watching television or movies. I really don't even watch a ton of Netflix - usually only one or two nights a week, or if I'm just really not in the mood for anything else - and the rest of the time I'm playing one of the many video games I have. A very full Steam library, a decent selection of Nintendo DS/3DS games, a lot of old PS1 and PS2 games, a handful of emulated things, and a fairly persistent Neverwinter Nights server community leave me with plenty of games to keep my attention when I'm not at work.

I prefer videogames more, but due to fiscal concerns and OGL being a thing, I play tabletop more.
What? Sometimes I wanna just kill stuff, and elitist douches look down on you making a murder machine in Pathfinder, while it's perfectly acceptable on PlayStation to press skip on the plot and move on.
Judgmental pricks seem to think "RP-heavy, we have combat once every five sessions, you better have real life charisma to back up your character's diplomacy check if you expect to pass that check," b.s. elitism is somehow better. Those holier than thou types are easier to avoid with videogames.

Um...you did see the the place where I said 'First Month Free' right?
And I thought I missed things due to napping...
Zzz...zzz...zzz...
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Sure! The thing is, there are lots of things to keep on doing now without signing up yet. Basically, though first months are great and all, I'm kept busy enough that the "every month is free" type stuff (like YouTube and other "watch stuff" sites like Channel Awesome), takes up all the watching time I have to give.
To be sure, there are many times I have "nothing to do" - one of the reasons I'm so often around these forums - but in those cases having Netflix doesn't really help: anything I'd be watching would not appropriate for my kids, but they're right next to me. So, by the time my wife gets home, and the kids are in bed, we have to carefully ration our time: are we playing the game, watching a show, or catching up on one of our many, many DVDs?
(Most often the RPG wins out, or we read stuff we've been meaning to all day.)
And when I've personal time that I feel like watching less kid friendly stuff, I've got pleeeenty: basically most reviewers online, or Let's Players. As a side-effect, I become more educated about memes, games I love or that others love and have missed, and generally expand my general knowledge without sinking all my time into one thing. And if something is "good enough" then I can (hypothetically) watch it later.
The few things that are "current" that I watch are generally available for free through one method or another.
And parenting takes up most of the rest of my life.
I mean, I love me some anime, but Crunchy Roll is still pestering me to finish my free trial time with them (I apparently didn't stay logged in enough?) and I don't have the time or "free space"'to do that right now.
All that said, I'm not averse to Netflix: I'm just not at a position where it makes sense for me to sign up, yet. :D
Oh, and I didn't even mention the games!
Between FFT, the metric ton of awesome that Lord Synos generously donated, and the few things I nabbed on Steam's recent Midweek Madness, I've got a tooooooooon of things to catch up on there, too. Agh! Too much awesome! #1stworldproblems amirite?!

No, but seriously, time stop comes with just a few too many issues in relation to the rest of the world, but I feel like I'd have to live in a constant bubble thereof in order to do all the things I want to already...

Definitely know that feeling. Playing all my games, doing more of my Nuzlocke run, finishing my MANY stories, getting more Pathfinder prep done....
