So I like exploring, how are the roads connecting cities?

Post by Rick7475 »

Are the main roads low level friendly? I'd like to start playing again but don't want to get stuck in a ghost town. Is travelling solo generally safe or lethal as a whole?

Tanks everybody :P

Yes.

Well, TSM likes the occasional surprise buttseks, but other than that you will be just great :)
pragmatic (adj.)
The opposite of idealistic is pragmatic, a word that describes a philosophy of "doing what works best."
From Greek pragma "deed," the word has historically described philosophers and politicians who were
concerned more with real-world application of ideas than with abstract notions. A pragmatic person
is sensible, grounded, and practical.

BG - Main road wholly safe from Baldur's Gate to Nashkel
TSM- Uses an overland map with random encounters (that can indeed be deadly)
MS- Safe overland (and over sea) travel except for few places that are marked as potentially dangerous.
WHL- Uses an overland map with random encounters (that can also be dangerous)
PCs: NWN1: Trailyn "Wayfarer" Krast, Nashkel hayseed

NWN2: ??

TSM's overland encounters, despite occasionally containing dangerous enemies, are pretty toothless since they can almost always be avoided.
The power of concealment lies in revelation.

Good to know. I still remember the time I wanted to add some wild life scenery along the roads in TSM and forgot to set a flag. People were chased by hundreds of deer and dumb bunnies!

I think Burt still complains bitterly of being killed by a horse.
