Motd playing tips?

Post by Rick7475 »

OK, well, I've bin buildin for a while now, and haven't played Motd. I tried playin last night to test TSM and got confused by the two modes, strategy and character. I just want to play in drive mode like I have always: camera behind the character like a first person shooter. How do I do this and are there any good plug ins to accomplish this. Yeah, I know, what a noob.

It sounds like character mode is what you are looking for. Strategy mode is meant more for the top-down, isometric looks you could get in the BG series. You may need to tweak some camera settings to get things to behave the way you want.

Note that some of the camera sliders aren't functioning correctly, so you may have to manually edit the .ini file to get things like scroll speeds to your liking. Hopefully this will be corrected if the next patch ever gets released.

The NWN2 forums on Bioware's website have several posts on tweaking camera settings to various tastes, so that's a place to search if you have trouble finding settings you like.
