I played Diablo 2 only some time after Nox and it took me way too long to get used to clicking where I want to go instead of just holding rmb and keep on running.
Frankly, I like that system more than having to click everywhere, but in Diablo's case it was probably intentional because what is a Diablo without a million clicks per second?

Yeah but it has the same problems as all these others "HD mod of old games" stuff, in that everything just gets smaller. TO do a proper HD mod you'd have to upscale all the sprites and models.
But for now I'd just be happy if they would scale the UI, because on 1080p you can't see shit anymore.

Huh, I was a bit quick in my judgment.
It's in the manual on pp. 76-78, right before the characters are presented (there's also a walkthrough for each classes' first chapter in there), but this story does indeed only tell about Jandor and the big battle and how the staff was separated and such, from some historian's perspective, but it does indeed NOT tell the story as the installation does with

I never owned this game, but someone installed it on one of the PCs in the computer lab at my middle school.
I think it must have been a pirated copy. It was so unfair I have to assume I'd triggered some kind of copy protection. Every single enemy just killed you in one hit, maybe two if you were very, very lucky.
I never made it far in the game, obviously. One day I got so frustrated I completely lost track of time and ended up playing it past when I was supposed to be back in the classroom. I got dragged off to the principal's office and got the mother of all earfuls. The game was deleted from the PC, and I was grounded for a week.
I don't remember much of what I was taught in middle school, but I've never been late for an appointment since.
That's what I learned in the school of hard Nox.

You absolutely need War Cry and Eye of the Wolf for battles as well. Thread Lightly is questionable but sneaking can be fun.
The problem with warrior is that you use the same 4 skills all the time. And it would have been even worse if you only needed 2 like you are saying.

Where are my Conjurer bros at?

>tfw you find out that hypnotizing enemies won't give you any XP when they die so you kill everything until you don't get any XP from them anymore, but by that time they're already too weak to be useful minions or you're in another level

Granted, you get enough XP throughout the game to reach level 10 any way, but especially the earlier level-ups can't come soon enough.
Conjurer is my class, and will always be, but this just wasn't that well thought-out.

When this came out, I couldn't beat it without cheats on account of being a horrible scrub back then and rarely beating any games, or beating them without cheats.

I remember choosing Conjurer for my first playthrough because charming wolves sounded badass.
It all went smooth until I had to take out the bandit camp, because it was utter rape; I somehow managed to survive that, though.
Then I stopped playing legit after the catacombs, which I somehow managed to beat with like 1HP left and resorted to cheats from then on, spamming FIST OF VENGEANCE.
It was almost two decades later I actually beat the game fair and square.

Singleplayer contains elements of older rpgs, level ups are infrequent and you only go to level 10, maps are full of loot and secrets to look around for with multiple "you get one chance" puzzles.

The gameplay itself is the quick and the dead. Movement and armor can both be important to different degrees depending on what you are fighting.

I loved this game so much. It came with a companion disc so one of your friends could play online with you. It had multiple game modes and even custom games. The multiplayer was also way ahead of its time, you had all the spells and equipment laying about and depending on what you picked up was your class/play style. It was a Moba before Mobas were invented. The Mage spells combo potential were insane, I got disarmed, place swaped, and killed with my own weapon by a guy in less than a second.

My fav class was the conjurer, you could summon all types of cool monsters, like the Beholder and fire green kamehamehas out of nature energy. We will never see games like this again.

It started to feel grindy as the warrior during the chapter with the orcs. There were so many of them and it didn't seem like there was any strategy other than slamming into them one by one.

Just think about it.
After the series of failures (i.e. Dune 2000, Recoil and LoL3) Westwood marathoned like a true badass: Nox, Tiberian Sun, Emperor Battle for Dune (yeah, some shat on that thing but it sure looked gorgeous), Renegade.
And then they got shut down by EA.

Nearly all dev studios famous in the 90s wrote themselves out by the early 00s and predictably died. But Westwood didn't deserve such the end.

Just one? Because there is another that shoots three of them. I just don't remember the accurate names anymore. I've started to replay the game a couple of years ago but life intervened and I still haven't restarted.

Single-shot one is actually a pretty good supplement to spells and as a chaff clearer due to how you don't waste as much charge as with the triple-shot "upgraded" version. Also if the target is running towards you any projectile impact slows it down a little bit.
The only downside is that you have to click very fast and lead the target all the time. With something like a lightning staff you just point, click once and wait.

>>	Anonymous Sat May 6 15:24:34 2023 No.9882016 >>9881993 Wasn't that staff (single/triple) with bouncing projectiles anyway? So you'd just enter a room, spray an arc and have everything bounce around until the imps were dead?

>>9882016
Yeah. Flare does this as well but due to the time it takes to properly saturate a room and with limited bounces it doesn't quite work. But the triple-shot one could pulls that off easily. But you also don't fight in smallish rooms always so the triple-shot staff isn't always at its maximum usefulness.

flare is much less useful in the latter half of the game when even the weaker enemies have 40 health and start dodging projectiles.

An issue with the staff is to get the triple shot one you need to acquire and save nearly all gold you find and even skip out on a few spell levels to afford it when you see it or you find it for free before going to hell where is isn't useful.

I think the lightning staff looks the coolest, as far as mage staves are concerned, though the fireball one is also cool, with its trident shape.
The problem with the staves is that they're generally pretty weak, and if they're not rechargeable, the monetary expense is just excessive.
Later in the game this is not as much of a problem anymore, as you should swim in gold from selling all the loot, but in my opinion it's just not economical.

Yes, you are supposed to upgrade.

Pretty sure I've found the triple one way before that. But it was either a regular one or one that slowly regenerates charges.

Quintessential 4chan post.

Have a death ray staff to stay on topic. Has such an item ever existed? At least I can't remember ever finding one.

I think Warrior is most straightforward because you don't have to manage mana and hoard money to be able to buy spells.
Just go in there and punch stuff.
I prefer conjurer because of the badass helmet (granted, the full plate armor for the knight is cool too, but not pic related >>9881209 cool).
The stories don't differ THAT much, apart from early game. You will visit all locations eventually; then the final fight is in a different place and you get a different ending cutscene.

The spells are cast so fast by everyone, basically it's hand signs plus syllables.
Think of Naruto ninja magic.

In other news: Field of Valor gets easier and more boring on each playthrough because I have my route down pretty well and with the fireball staff the boss dies in a handful of hits. It has never been my favorite level, it's always just tedious.
Now I am providing peace and order, here in Brim. With all the loot from the catacombs and the ogre axes, I am now at 8k gold or something; more than enough to buy all the spells I need and repair the good stuff.

Found this in the concept art section of a Nox fansite and can't quite put my finger on who exactly this artist was trying to emulate. It gives off a strong 90s indie comics vibe.

On the one hand I wish Nox were more popular, so we'd get a bunch of Hecubah porn, but on the other hand I don't want bait threads and retarded discussions by retarded zoomers parrotting some eceleb's hot takes.
