    [​IMG] I just got the NWN compilation (OC, SoU, HotU). I tried the game when it was released, but major Baldur's Gate fan as I am, I didnt like the lack of party memebers. I've decided to give it a fair shot once more, and atleast play alot further this go around (didn't get very long at all last time).

    I mainly play as Chaotic Neutral Bards or similar if it exists in-game. Are Bards a bad "solo"-choice? I want to play either Bard or Ranger, since it suits my type of solo roleplaying well.

    Well, I guess the main question is - should I aviod anything at all costs?

    Is it worth bringing along henchmen? I seem to recall them as very annoying/bad AI/something else ...

    Oh, almost forgot; is SoU and HotU both expansions to the original campaign, or what's the story with all that? Read somewhere that SoU starts your char at lvl 1, while I haven't found anything about HotU.

    You're going to want to get the Henchmen mod (Henchman Inventory & Battle AI), especially for the OC:

    http://www.sorcerers.net/Games/NWN/index_editors2.php

    That way you can somewhat control their tactics and change their inventory (you can't in the OC by default). This also affects Familiars and Animal Companions I believe.

    SoU is a new campaign meant for a new character. HotU lets you continuee with the same Character from SoU though.

    I'd recommend skipping the OC...it's pretty boring. I'd go straight to SoU which is a bit better, and the henchmen have a little more personality (although there's only a few choices.)
