Really basic noob questions
Posted: Tue May 14, 2013 2:39 am
Okay... I finally got everything installed and logged in, created my first character and even visited a store.
But I quickly realized that I have basically no experience with the NWN2 UI, and of course none with ALFA's implementation and protocols.
I did NWN1 ALFA, so I know the basic guidelines about when it's appropriate to use the different channels and such (it is the local channel that I should use as the default, correct?)... but I'm missing some basic knowledge of the UI.
First of all... where do I type in the text to speak? I saw the ability to select a language and have the input bar come up... will that text go into whatever channel I select in the chat window? I clicked all over that thing looking for the input section with no luck. If it is the bar that comes up when you select a language, should all emotes be in common?
Someone sent me a tell welcoming me and I was guessing the command to respond was /tell and the name that sent to me... but damned if I could figure out the appropriate place to type it in.
I'm really not looking to break the immersion of others while I fumble around with the UI, so if anyone can give me some pointers I'd appreciate it.
I'm a constant "text emoter" when I play as well. I tend to describe my character's actions in a lot of detail while I play (even when others aren't around... I'm a bit odd that way I guess). Are asterisks the accepted emote tag, as in *stares at the towering human while he picks his nose*?
Thanks for the help.
