Barry, thank you for the info. I spent several hours reading through the wealth of information on this forum last night. I have a better grasp of what you and others have created now. Actually several of your old introductory posts from 2010, that I assume were from the old forum, helped quite a bit. I have no issues with this server not being a Faerun setup, it's just what I'm used to. I'm looking forward to learning the lore of this world. 

 

Rogueking, I'm very excited to delve into this new fantasy setting! So far I'm on my third character build, but they are all more or less the same, just had to make some corrections based on the lore and rules of this world. So far my only experience is the castle basement training dummies, but I'm very excited to play a new class that I've never experienced, the Temple Raider. 

 

I've also been working on my character bio, but I typed it all in the bio at character creation. Now I see that I should have just wrote it on the forum. I'll work on that over time. I'm glad there is an extensive history to pull from. I am sad to see that you dislike monks so much, Barry. A monk does not have to be "Oriental" (I would like to point out that this term is now seen as a pejorative, but I understand that it was a different time over 30 years ago), the Greeks were practicing martial arts as have the people's of Latin America. I might make a monk character that fits into the lore of this world just so you can experience that. Also keep in mind the far east had access to Europe even before the middle ages. I am probably not as well versed in Medieval history as you, but I do know a few things. Living in Europe as a youth for several years has helped, along with some college art history. 

 

I look forward to getting to know everyone, both IC and I OOC!

After unzipping the files I'm having no problems!

Rougeking, thank you! I haven't owned my laptop long, and it has no native unzip program, so thank you for the recommendation. I'm not very computer savvy, so thank you for all of the help. Really, I don't have any experience with any user created content, outside of the Aeilund saga from the workshop. 

 

I'm looking forward to getting started on such an immersive setting! This sounds like it's exactly what I've been waiting for, a real open world D&D video game. I'm partial to the Forgotten Realms, but that's only because I read a TON of the books, old and new. In 2009 I think I had read all of the forgotten realms books written by both Ed Greenwood and R.A. Salvatore, up to that point of course. I think they've come out with a few since then, but I haven't really read much of any fiction since 2009. NWN coming back to computer, in such a user friendly package, is a serious nostalgia trip for me and great fun as well. 

 

After exploring the forum a little more, I found the Domain/Deity lists. I didn't realize the Forgotten Realms borrowed Silvanus, but thankfully I'm still safe in my pick and it fits with the theme and story I'm building with my character. I'm a little rusty at this kind of thing, but it should come back to me. 

 

Thank you all for the help!

Wait, do I need a program to unzip the character creator module? I simply downloaded it and moved it to the modules folder in the NWN directory. Is this what I am doing wrong? Actually, it is the only module currently in the folder, which I also thought was strange.

Thanks for the reply! I still can't find the character creator in the modules. I'll try again shortly. 

 

This is the handbook I found when searching for the Annakolia Pantheon, perhaps it is out of date.

I saw several Forgotten Realms/Faerun deities on that document. Can a DM change the deity listed for my Character, or do I need to create a new one? I really don't want to break any rules. Online NWN is a new thing for me, and I haven't played table top D&D since I was 15.

I have created a character and have started training at the castle basement. I have selected Silvanus as my deity, but after reading the journal entries, perhaps a different deity may have been more appropriate. I found a PDF of the RoA handbook, and maybe Mielikki would make more sense. Do I need to make another character, or can a DM fix this, or does it matter? I grew up reading the Forgotten Realms novels, as I'm sure many of you did as well, and Silvanus made sense for my character, but my character is also chaotic good.

I placed the character tester module in the module folder. So far I tried to connect to the server, but it asked for a password? I'm a bit lost in the sauce.

Hello all,

 

This is my first time trying out a persistent world in NWN. Currently I am trying to figure out how to install the character testing tool. I was excited to see NWN come to steam to help non-computer savvy people like myself use stuff like the CEP. My step father installed the original CEP over a decade ago and that made NWN much more enjoyable. I have been dabbling with mods and have completed the Aielund Saga a few times now. However, persistent worlds/online stuff is totally new to me. Any advice would be much appreciated! My favorite part of NWN was the ability to play D&D solo, so I'm hoping I can still enjoy solo play of this module. 

 

Thank you!

What do I do once I have downloaded the file?
