I just picked up Hordes of the Underdark but I never finished either the first campaign or SoU. Anyone else here play it? I'm just wondering if anyone is interested in playing all the way through from at least SoU, I'll be the Druid.

Hated NWN, thought it was crap. It looked and played like a PS2 game, the campaign sucked (I never actually finished it, it was so bad... 'solve the mystery of the plague'. Screw that, unless you give me a REASON to solve it (AKA Sarevok kills your foster father, you wake in a mysterious jail with experiments being performed on you in BG1 and BG2), it's just lowgrade cliche. In BG1 and BG2 I WANTED to finish the story. In NWN I was apalled that they actually thought they could sucker me with such a weak plot, realistically I'd rather have just left the damn city.

Plus I hated the third edition rules. Let's give everyone some form of another class's skills! Yeah!

I had some fun with Neverwinter at a friend's house. I'm usually rather entertained by games that have some good online stuff, so I was goin along RPing for a while.

i only have NWN, non expansion. i really enjoy it. if anyone is up for that, we can set a time/date? maybe one of the custom modules? the Penultima series is a funny one i quite enjoy.

Any chance you would like to pick up SoU or HOTU and join me in a game if we can get a few others?

I picked up HOTU for 30 and SoU is probably less.

I'm sorta the new guy here, although I was a reg a couple months back (TK-421 in game), but I have HotU and I'd play through the campaigns or some mods if you got a bunch of guys together.  I'll do anything, although I prefer Ranger or Rogue.  I'm a D&D newb, so I don't have the skills to figure out much besides pure combat, hehe.

Also, I dunno if you guys are into this stuff, but there's a pretty nice permanent world set up called Exaria.  If you go to exaria.net, there's a whole slew of subraces, special mods, etc.  It's pretty heavy on the RP and takes a long time to level though, so if you're not into it it's probably not worth getting into.

I uninstalled NWN, but I would be willing to play through some custom mods, like Penultima(which ruled)

If you've updated to the latest patch, SoU/HotU is not required if your playing with SoU/HotU players.  If I remember correctly.

All the feats/classes/skills exist, just aren't usable.  Doesn't take much to add new feats and such.


I have all three, not sure if my campus firewall will let me play to a location off-campus.

Still interested in playing? I don't have HotU but I would like to play. I've played through SoU singleplayer three times now, its fun but short, and the last boss is a joke.
