Do you like them or do you hate them? Do you kill them or do you let them live?

    They do nothing for me, it's just quick EXP.

    400 EXP is quite a lot in BG1.

    Their shtick was funny on the first playthrough, but of course has worn pretty thin over time. Now I simply avoid them.

    I remember my first time, after about the third "What about now?" I loaded Jaheira up and mutilated the bastard in one hit. No loss in reputation! But now, I just wait for the XP.

    Unless I'm playing evil. Then I destroy that mofo. :P

    The results are surprising me somewhat. I thought there would be more people who hated Noober than this.

    I normally don't kill Neeber (just Noober). But once I have that XP Noober is taking an arrow or two >:)

    The results so far suggest that our top priorities are gaining XP. For shame. Are we nothing more than mere powergamers? Whatever happened to role playing?

    Well... they were funny... like 17 years ago... now I just HAVE to speed up the thousandth "What about now?". :expressionless:

    I have nothing against some light-hearted fun here and there, but Neeber and Noober are anything but. Cheap, annoying, frustrating, irrelevant. Do not want.

    I didn't either until I read some random NWN guide on some site that made the connection in its appendix. (this was a while ago)

    I'm telling my brothers about this, we all love BG references in my family.

    @wubble You do, do you?
  • wubblewubble Member Posts: 3,156
    Awesome!
    How many more do you have? : D
  • TressetTresset Member, Moderator Posts: 8,268
    @wubble Not too many more with NWN actually that I can think of right now... You will probably find out a lot of neat stuff by reading that thread though. There is one more item description from NWN that comes to mind but it is kinda a stretch. I will go post it in that thread and see what you think.

    Speeding through it is my main approach, but just now I started my first BG:EE campaign after a 2 year hiatus (*) and when I just met him this week I was more like 'I like them and I am willing to listen and laugh at their goofy comments.'.

    *edit: hiatus since the Tutu days before EE got released that is.
