plus if you have all of the reasonably priced when it first came out dlc, if you use the .exe hd art pack 1.00, that works with the monk fubar mod now. i hate to be corny but for the moment i’m right as rain. some of it might be divine intervention, or i will find a forum populated by people with a sincere passion for the game. with the fubar mod, it used to be when you tried to apply the monk’s 5 schools of martial arts his body distorted in a disturbing fashion, if you have the dlc the 1.00 update fixes that. now beamdog was the first company to throw their hat into the ring when it came time to resurrect the series that was basically one of the first, if not the first foray of the dungeons and dragons universe into 3D, neverwinter nights. you have to be so hardcore to play a remake of the original baldur’s gate. don’t lie to me. anyway i wouldn’t say the game was fine the way it was because this mod conclusively proved that it wasn’t. you can read up and decide if its worth the download here. now, don’t get me wrong but this mega patch has achieved a level of relativity that once again validates a playthrough, poke through, of neverwinter nights. if you have a dlss capable card, the community has added compatibility with the zipped texture pak in the neverwinter vault should your p.c. be able to handle elevated frame rates on 20 year old games. the additional races aren’t profound but if you look hard enough at the faces that come with the characters, here and there you see one that explains the point. so, it goes without saying that you’ll probably want to play one, or both of these. there’s also a fan remake of baldur’s gate in the neverwinter nights 2 engine floating around the interwebs. however, let’s get down to brass tacks, shall we?
“This is a mashed together compilation of the Community Patch, Project Q IV, and a bunch of other stuff I’ve thrown together for a module I’m working on. I also use it as an override when I play. It includes overrides for most of the creatures and many placeables (some completely new models, others just higher-poly versions of the originals), pbr (aka fancy) maps for just about everything in the game, a bunch of new stuff, not to mention all the fixes from the Community Patch., and TonyK’s Henchman Inventory & Battle AI v1.08.”
it’s about who actually put in this serious casual gamer, beautifully detailed hard work or who their target audience was. the beamdog only texture pack has this cartoony look to it which some of you may like. the picture to the left is mostly community by the alleged parties above with the feel of the original with those cobalt lens aviators. you know dungeons and dragons, there’s a lot of dudes doing the same thing. my belief is that as long as it doesn’t involve money every once and a while God throws me a bone. part of what i originally got out of this mod was what they did to the monk, remember how if you were a regular run of the mill fighter when you finished your first tutorial with the quartermaster you got a spiffy chain shirt and a rapier. when you opt to be a monk in fubar, you get the first tier of the robes of the shining hand for free and a kami. plus you have a set of about five fighting styles that you can switch to on the fly if you decide to go mano a mano. i usually play elf when i play it that way because i’m going for dex and you might surprised by the maniacal looking drow elf that dude has added, but still don’t expect your little glass cannon to be hardy. there is also a mod for neverwinter nights 2 enhanced edition by the name of neverwinter nights upscale almost 3 in beta i believe… but definitely in 2. this thing along with nvidia dlss because some of the textures res in up to 8k, this thing makes the story live again if you’ve been away long enough. so if you want to dust off your installations and enjoy an honest more playable pair of games you can do so. i’m not going to speak in length about why beamdog wants nothing to do with asprx but asprx probably copped a squat, took notes, was in the right place at the right time… and made them look a bit inept. especially with this nuclear texture mod and nvidia dlss. anyway… enjoy. understand why, if they cared to be, valve could be a serious problem. but no sane company would allow people to modify the games on their consoles? right… right?
