is it possible to play this game solo?

[Pak0tac]

So i tried to play NWN solo, but its impossible, constant deaths
eventually people on the forums told me that NWN is not for solo players, and with most classes it is impossible to play. So what about this game? is it any better?

[HolographicWings]

you tell about NWN 1 or NWN 2 ?
i have finish NWN2 in solo in max difficulty, he isn't hard :/
do you have ever play the Divinity, Sekiro or Darksouls games ???
NWN is not so hard beside these games

NWN is impossible to play solo, i tried
i reached about level 9 or so, and i remember there was this boss fight and he is super powerful, he kills my henchman in like 2 shots and then kills me, hes a mage and using stone skin and spam fireballs. I couldnt go back becauase the area was a locked area, you cant recall to town from there, and you couldnt go back so i was stuck.
I came to the forums and they said that the game is not designed to be played solo.
(im talking about NWN enhanced edition)

Both games are perfectly possible to play solo. Who ever said they are not is talking rubbish. It sounds like you may have unnecessarily gimped your character and are having trouble because of that. You can always take the difficulty down a notch or two as well. What class and build were you playing? What henchman did you have? What is your character level?

level 9 ranger with orc as henchmen

Ok cool. What armour are you wearing, what's your weapon(s) and what are your stats?

A Ranger in NWN is really just a gimped Fighter with a few low level spells, they are not a particularly great class.

Is there a particular direction/focus you want to achieve with him?

the idea was to make a fast shooter critical hits based ranger
i remember years ago, when NWN just came out i played on this large multiplayer server called "Lands of Lore", and rengers were really great, sure they had a lot of epic equipment and pretty much everybody had a neckless that adds constant "haste" buff, but still, hoped to remake it as i know there is in fact a neckless somewhere in the game that gives constant haste buff

A standard Ranger without additional classes or buffs will have issues dealing damage for the most part. You could aim to go for Arcane Archer later down the line to fix that issue, although I appreciate that doesn't help you much now.

Your best tactic here sounds like it would be to simply disable and kill that spellcaster as quickly as possible, because as soon as it starts throwing spells at you, you will be finished.

You could use spell resistance, haste, and cats grace potions to aid you in the fight. Depending on your stealth score, you may be able to hide before the fight and then sneak in so your Orc takes the initial barrage then you take him out fast. Honestly, in a game like NWN there are so many options and you may have to get a bit more tactical for the fight if your character is lacking.

So you are using a Longbow? What armour do you have and what are your character ability stats, including AB and AC?

Finally, if you want to take a look at some good builds, check out our character build forum for ideas. There are several archers on there that would all do a better job than a standard Ranger: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/NWN-Players/discussions/1/

Hope this helps and good luck!

do you have a link for the built?

[trojanwarlord]

no, but you will need this

just build a warlock and use the Hideous Toggle ability. It recasts the ability (like it should) for you automatically. Very powerful. Add the paladin's resistance. Maybe later throw in some weapon master to increase the crit range. Grab a two hander and you'll take everything out.

its not only possible but reccomended if you want any sort of challenge because the game is really easy.
it requires though good knowledge of the 3.5 ruleset and its quirks.

Yes of course they can be played solo, they're not MP-only games. They're easy games too.
