The Valen Shadowbreath thread :)

               My characters are so underdeveloped in comparison. D: I never really thought them through much...

               I like playing with sorceresses, D-D. Or dual-wielding rangers. But I haven't finished my playthrought with my chaotic-neutral ranger.
Anane was a goody-two-shoes Lawful-Good. And she started Neutral-Evil ._.

               I understand, mages are awesome. xD I always think everything out at great length due to my OCD. I guess that's a good thing since it helps my writing, but...y'know.

Sorta off topic but I have to say this; DAMN! I started playing A Dance with Rogues, and...wow. Just...wow. Vico y u so awesome yet so evil?! ;-; Poor Princess Raven, she can't help but fall in love with him. ADWR is awesomesauce, and I bow before it's creator.
I got a shock in character creation. The tattoos...oh gods. xD Those clothes are evil. And my eye twitches whenever the Princess runs...her breasts are too jiggly. Like jello.
Oh Gods, now I'm seeing Vico tying Raven to the bed and saying 'there's always room for jello!'
I need help.

               *de-lurks*

ADWR is indeed awesome. I haven't played it in quite some time, but I know that for the first few months I couldn't put it down. Shame there isn't more fanfic centered on it.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Meeszy Alexy]

               In real life, I would've killed Vico in his sleep. In ADWR, well... yeah. I only like him because I have a weird sense of humour, and he appeals to my inner Chaotic Evil Psycho. Also, all the good-aligned characters are really irritating. It's like the game's trying to _make_ me evil.

I still would take Valen over Vico anyway, though. :3 And Valen would kick his ass in a second. '>
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Deliciously-Demonic]

               Thankfully, this is only fantasy, though.
Vico is really the only companion I like, though Rizzen ain't half bad either, and I suppose Pia is tolerable.
Of course the game is trying to make you evil. I started out as a Lawful Good sorceress, and by part two I was a Chaotic Evil pale master. xD

Valen vs Vico...now that's an interesting thought.
Crap, now I wish I could draw Valen. D:
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Meeszy Alexy]

               My PC ended up as an Chaotic Evil Assassin... she enjoyed killing things with short swords. I'm going to try and play as a Lawful Good. It will be difficult, but if I get the hang of it... I'll try to romance Vico while still being Lawful Good. It will be difficult, and I will get visibly annoyed at my own PC for her Stupid Goodness, but I'll try.

Valen would win. He's a weapon master, and at a high level can one-hit-kill. The only edge Vico has is Smite Good.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Meeszy Alexy]

               Sorry about this double post, but so far with the Lawful Good ADWR, I have successfully stayed in my alignment and I still amuse Vico. (Not that amusing Vico is very difficult.)

I am also tempted to create both Valen and Vico on a module with the toolset and make them fight each other to see what would happen - first at lower levels, then mid-levels, then high, and then level 40 - to see the results.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Deliciously-Demonic]

               I'd play that module. xD

Raven is still deliciously evil, but Canta (Rogue/Shadowdancer) is a nice Lawful Neutral, heading back up towards Lawful Good. In my imagination Raven and Canta are sisters, but each playthrough represents alternate situations; one where Raven survives and the other where Canta survives.
I decided to attach the ACAG hak to the HotU campaign files, for two reasons; THEM HEADS BE SO PRETTY! '> and two; Valen's Mimic Conversation. While the PC is really honest to gods naked. I might just die of laughter.

               I seem to be lost. Care to explain what are you two talking about?
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Deliciously-Demonic]

               It's a fan-made module called A Dance with Rogues. It's extremely mature; you play a Princess who's kingdom is conquered and you narrowly escape thanks to a man named Vico who saves you. Unfortunately, his rescue comes with the terrible price of your...*coughcough* innocence.  You basically go from riches to rags and are taught how to be a rogue. You have to have at least one level as a rogue since you need pickpocketing, lockpicking and trapping skills.

Part one
Part two

It's a very mature module, marked for adults only...
...like I care.

               ...How do I install it? 8D

No, really, I'm a modding idiot. I need help.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Deliciously-Demonic]

               Download the A_Dance_with_Rogues_Part_1_V1.50.rar file in the 'Part One' link, the A_Dance_with_Rogues_Part_2_V1.23.rar file in the 'Part Two' link. Use a system like ExtractNow to open them, then put the module files in your Neverwinter Nights/Modules folder.
Then download THIS HAKPAK, and put it in your Neverwinter Nights/hak folder.
Then just start up NWN, start a new game, click on 'Other Campaigns/Modules' and open part one. You have to start with a level 1 human female character with 14 DEX and 14 CON, I believe.

               [Removed Because I was beaten to it by D-D.)

Despite my love of Vico's... evilness, Valen is still my Number One LI. And even though there are lots of things I like about ADWR (the challenge of it, the fact that it's taught me a bit about using the rogue class to my advantage, the fact that there are a lot more henchie interactions) there are things that annoyed me a lot (How annoying being good is, the fact that you're rarely treated with basic respect, - then again, that can be true to real life - the fact that the Princess is oh-so-speshul and pretty and everybody wants her...) You have to have a lot of patience with that game. For obvious reasons.
