So, Ive been playing nwn1 for the last week or so, and I cant help but feel that im playing this game wrong. It just kills the whole concept of cRPG when im doing shit just to get more exp... but i cant help myself lol.
I want to be true to my class/alignment or at the very least, make my decisions make logical sense, but I just cant knowingly miss out on some exp. I play a damn druid but I dont use any summons, animal companions or henchmen cus they leech my exp -_-
Aside from the exp thing, I really want kill any strong guys in the realm whether it makes sense to kill them or not. I kind of justified this by saying my char likes to test himself against these guys. But obviously before I kill them, i need to do their quests to get exp . .

The latest episode was the green dragon who tells u to kill the Hill giants. So i go and kill the hill giants and finish the quest. The dragon thanks me for saving his egg and I ask him some questions about other dragons and what not, saying things like "Oh mighty dragon, could you share your wisdom with me?" Then I start a new conversation with him and say "Hey dragon! give me your treasure or I will slay you!" I kill him and take his egg.. although i duno what its for yet.
I dunno, maybe its not that big of a deal but I kinda got annoyed at the fact that i cant stop myself from doing this. I guess its called being a munchkin. Too much influence from mmo and jRPGs i think.
How do you guys like to play? Maximize your exp/rewards? Or put more emphasis on roleplay?

I used to play like this until I realized that you will inevitably miss out on some exp/items unless you're using a walkthrough. So now, I don't worry about it and just play in character. I still get a bit irked if I discover I missed something that I could have gotten while being in character, but in general, I just pick what my character would do, sometimes even deliberately missing out on stuff.

I like to roleplay, though sometimes in something like FF it's less about role playing and more about watching a series of events unfold before you
I only played a bit of NWN1, didn't know animal companions leech exp. They don't in NWN2, which I've been playing lately
Though sometimes I just have to help myself to that treasure chest inside some random guy's house. My Lawful good Ranger didn't think twice about robbing a church... I'll just pretend that never happened

lol yea those damn chests and crates. How can you not take whats in those if the people in the room dont react at all ;;;
I think in baulders gate, people will react if you take their shit right?

I play NWN and NWN2 like I play Diablo

you should play through the Hordes of the Underdark campaign then. it'll fit your style, and pretty much all RP decisions end up the same amount of xp.
|
You should join a Roleplay server online. You will be forced to act like your character/his alignment and his stats. Can make for some great gaming. Some of my best memories are roleplay orientated PvP. :D
I've been playing NWN online for so many years now :D. Easily the best rpg when it comes to character building.

it's extremely enjoyable to fight everything you ever find. Every single person I find that is not lawful good/ neutral good, I murder and cannibalize for xp.

so aparantly this gold dragon wants me to kil the ancient red dragon. I am on the way to kill the red dragon, but i dunno if i can resist killing the goldy after i finish this quest lol.... aopwiegaopj
I want to kill him right now actually just to see if his tough, but then i would miss out on his quest :/
|
stop murdering everybody ! But seriously go play hordes of the underdark, i played a lawful good cleric and had no problem getting to level 40 with godlike items while still retaining roleplaying.

I always play "in charcter", part of what makes it fun for me and makes it mmore fun to replay a game.
