I was looking at my local Best Buy add. On this Friday and Saturday, they will have Neverwinter Nights 2 on sale for only $24.99.

After my chaotic neutral half-elven warlock was ruined by a bug causing Bishop to go hostile and attack the party in the keep, I am finally in the end game with my lawful good human wizard. I didn't even bother to craft custom stuff using my bzillion gems and quintrillion essences. I'll probably to load the backup save at some point just to see what I can make. Damn powerful gem scarcity!

I've found ore deposits in three places in the game. They're clickable, but don't seem to add anything to my inventory. And I get XP when I find them.

I would assume that I'm supposed to use some form of tool or skill to get ore out of those deposits. Which tool is it, and where would I find it? Or which skill should I be using?

When you get your keep, you'll be able to recruit a couple of miners (and some minors as well, actually). You just talk to them and they go off and dig up the ore for you. You need to do this to upgrade your guys armor and weapons.

After playing around with it for a couple of hours, I have a few thoughts.

1. Why did they keep the excatly the same voice sets from NWN 1? I thought since it was a new game, they would redo the voice sets.

2. Why do they list every weapon for weapon speciality, ect? They way they did that in NWN 1 was better.

3. I could not select my feats, skills when i started my characters.

4. I like dwarves, how come they could not put in a beard for dwarves that was NOT braded and had decorations in it? I just wanted a basic beard.

For 3, you have to pick "Customize" after you pick your class. Otherwise you go with a preset package

I should have remembered that from NWN 1.

My guess is money.
Rather less to be paid out for something already recorded. And possibly ease of programming. But either way it's $$$.

 

[Kaodi]

They added a couple of new ones, didn't they? Or maybe I am misremembering...

 

[LightPhoenix]

I'm pretty sure they added some new ones too Kaodi.

To answer why they would keep the old ones, why not? Why throw out the old ones when they're still good?
