in 3.5, a multiclass monk can't gain monk levels. is that true for NWN to? if it is, guess i'll go with rogue or something.

Its now 3:27 am, I am board sh*tless, and wide awake. Next question is: Is the game fun and if so on a scale of 1 (Bad) and 10 (Awsome) what would those of you who have played it rank it?

so far? 7. it's fun, but so far it hasn't done anything much to distinguish itself from any other of it's type. it hasn't done anything much to seem worse. except the interface. there's three function key's to hit, F1-12, shift F1-12 and ctrl F1-12. you can use these for pretty much any action, including text macros and emotions. right click on something and your available options come up in a circle around it. i'm not sure if i'll like it; sometimes the surounding icons are hard to pick out of the background, but it may end up being fast. you can queie up options while paused. the game lacks a true top-down view and tends to sufer from the walls-blocking-view-syndrome. i don't think they go transparent, either.

constant "So and so wants to talk" interuptions really detract from the game.

Umm.... interacting with the characters in the game is a major factor of it being a RPG.

Hit pageup and pagedown to change the camera angle. You can get topdown.

Sorcerer/Wizard seems like a silly combo to me... you are reducing your spellcasting potential, halving the level of spell you can cast... you can always rest, you know.

I believe that monks can gain levels while multiclassing.

The speed you move depends on how far away you click the mouse. If you hold the mouse button down, you will continue to move in whatever direction the arrow points. Move the arrow far away, you run. Have it right up next to you, you walk.

I have always been able to distinguish the radial menu buttons fine from the background. Maybe your gamma is too high? Or too low?
