Can't escape the new player lobby.

Post by TyphoonChicken »

I tried getting my new char through the portal and out of the new player lobby, but couldn't seem to do so. At the same time, my NWN2 was drawing green boxes when I moved the mouse. Any thoughts on this malady?

AH HA..! For the box problem make sure you are in the right camera mode.

To the right of the quickbar you will see three icons. You want the one that looks like a CONE. The other one (which gives you the boxes) is strategy mode, the head is character mode.

(my only other thought on drawing green boxes is you somehow logged in Dm client but..well thats impossiblye)

As per getting out of the lobby, IF you get a cut scene, hit enter or right click with the mouse.

NWN runs opposite mouse clicks of WoW and most MMO's so you can either reverse the mouse buttons in the Options menu OR just get used to it.

Are you sure you create a normal PC (ie Plane Touched or something like that) ?

ECL races require HDM acceptance and with them you cannot leave the lobby.

Though you should get a message saying to contact the HDM.

Yeah, I don't play exotics. She's just an ordinary, but pretty halfling.

:)

And as to the other advice, I did switch my camera to exploration mode (I think it's called) so that camera pivots the way it should. I didn't have a chance to try it last night, possibly will tonight.

Looking forward to getting IG and RPing.

Who's your character and what server are you trying to enter?

A DM may be able to figure out what's going on, but they'd have to catch you while you're in the starting area of their server. So try to log on to IRC and scream bloody murder (or just politely announce your presence and intent ;) ) while you're busy drawing green rectangles.
