NWN2: MotB Spirit Energy

[Kevinator]

Hello all,

I hope you guys had a great Thanksgiving!

Anyway, can somebody please put me out of my misery an let me know how long this spirit energy "feature" (ahem) lasts? Do I have to deal with it throughout the entire expansion pack, or can I get rid of it soon?

I'm really not liking this "feature". :)

Thank you in advance,

Kevin

All game.

It's a penalty for resting repeatedly and really is there to limit travelling and resting. It's easy to deal with if you're good, just hang around the spirits in Shadow Mulsantir using rest + suppress (I think) to regain spirit energy. At critical points in the story you are given a choice to use/not use your abilities, just don't use them and eventually (as a good character) it becomes irrelevant.

It actually does emphasise choice and consequence extremely well. It has significant penalties for abuse (but also some awesome abilities) and suppressing it also gives you some interesting abilities (destroy undead like ability). It's actually the feature of the game that differentiates it from most other "so called" RPGs, because it forces you to make actual choices that have actual proper consequences in game. It's a great mechanic and works extremely well, you just have to think about what you are doing.
