An amateur guide for amateurs So, you want to play the infamous Neverwinter Nights mod, A Dance with Rogues by Valine/2acornupper, but you don’t know much about the game and much less about Dungeons & Dragons? Well, I don’t know much about D&D either, but after a couple of hours of gameplay, I’m confident enough to lend you a hand so you too can experience what’s considered a pinnacle of interactive erotica. Before you get the mod, you’ll need to understand what kind of game you’ll be playing. Neverwinter Nights is a role-playing game developed by BioWare and Obsidian Entertainment. This is particular game is based on the Forgotten Realms campaign from D&D, and as such, the table-top role-playing rules apply. You’ll be playing in a third-person top-down view similar to Dota, League of Legends, and World of Warcraft. Controlling your character’s actions thru a contextual menu as well as key binds. There are also key binds to move your character around but using a mouse is generally easier. You can get used to the controls and some of the mechanics by playing the first part of the single player campaign, The Wailing Death, once you get the game. Here’s the links if you’re still interested. Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/704450/Neverwinter_Nights_Enhanced_Edition/ GOG: https://www.gog.com/en/game/neverwinter_nights_enhanced_edition_pack And links to the module. A Dance with Rogues Part 1 2.20: https://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn1/module/dance-rogues-part-1-20-ee-compatible A Dance with Rogues Part 2 1.23: https://neverwintervaultorg/project/nwn1/module/dance-rogues-part-two Currently waiting a update. Previous hak files break models. Other links. Lyanna Stormborn: https://neverwintervault.org/sites/all/modules/pubdlcnt/pubdlcnt.php?fid=123814 This is for those that just want to use a pre-generated character. The file goes in your Documents/Neverwinter Nights/localvault folder. I advise against it as you won’t exactly know what your character is capable of, especially if this is your first time playing. Enhanced Player Portrait Pack: https://neverwintervault.org/project/nwnee/images/portrait/enhanced-player-portrait-pack Install this if you want more portraits to choose from during character creation. Customize Character Override Hak: https://www.nexusmods.com/neverwinter/mods/799 Install this if you want to customize your character in-game. Read the mod description carefully to learn how to use it. Follow the instructions carefully and install the mod in the correct directories. Once that’s done, launch the game and make sure a couple of game options are changed. First, under the game settings, the default difficulty is Easy but the mod is meant to be played on Normal. You’re welcome to keep it as is, but you’ll lose most of the challenge of playing this mod. Second, under the graphics settings, disable Shiny Water in tweaks. Some users reported crashes with this setting on, so if you run into a problem near the water, this might be the culprit. Third, under the input settings, your camera should be set as Top Down mode. Using any other camera option will cause problems during cutscenes. The cutscenes will still play but you may not be able to see anything since the camera is locked onto your character. And fourth, there isn’t an option to disable this but you must understand that pressing Escape to back out of a conversation can break a scripted event. Even if you can and the game tells you it’s an option, try not to do it. Extra Recommendations In Game Options, under Ruleset, activate Always Roll Max Hitpoints on Level Up to avoid getting stuck with a character with low health. If you want to see your character better during appearance customization, under Resolution and UI Scaling, set your New UI Scale to 1.2 or higher. Once you’ve changed all the other settings to your liking. Click on New, select A Dance with Rogues from the local tab, and click Play. It’s time to get familiar with your character, the Princess of Betancuria. Create a Princess A Dance with Rogues is exclusively tailored to the stealthy and charismatic thief. You’ll get a very small amount of exp for killing things but you’ll get lots of exp for stealing, breaking and entering, disabling traps, and completing quests (some of which can be done with diplomacy). A Sneaky Princess will have a higher chance to succeed than a Fighting Princess. Here’s how to build one. After you load A Dance with Rogues module, you’ll be prompted to create or select a pre-made character. Don't use Select Premade Character, it's easier to start with but you won’t understand how that character plays unless you’ve played Neverwinter Nights before. Instead, click on Create New Character and let’s get started. Gender Choose Female. The module won’t make much sense with a Male character. The game won't let you continue if you choose otherwise. Race Choose Human. You can try the module with other races but it will create plot holes all throughout the game. Human is better for this mod. Seems like the new update will only allow you to play as a human, but at least you get to choose two feats(perks) instead of one. Portrait Choose whichever fits your character the best. You can download a portrait pack to have more choices if you want (I used this one here: https://neverwintervault.org/project/nwnee/images/portrait/enhanced-player-portrait-pack). However, you won’t have as many options for the actual physical look of your character. Class Rogue is the recommended starting class for this mod. It’s necessary to have certain skills available early and the Rogue class can get ranks in all of them at level 1. Alignment Alignment is not that important as throughout the game it will change depending on your actions. You can try role playing a Lawful Good Princess but it’s very difficult to maintain honor and compassion. After all, this A Dance with Rogues, not A Dance with Goody Two- Shoes. Abilities This is where you truly get to customize your character. It’s a lot to read but it’s worth knowing what your abilities mean to your character before you start the game. Before we begin, know this. The first number is your base ability score. The second, in parentheses, is your modifier, which is used in addition to your skills for skill checks during the game. Let’s start down the list. Strength Heh. Even at 10 STR, the Princess hits like a wet noodle. This determines how much you can carry, how hard you hit, and how often your attacks connect. Keep this at 10 if you can so you don’t nerf your damage. Lowering it will only prolong fights and you don’t want to be in a battle if you can help it, much less a battle of attrition. Dexterity The Weapon Finesse feat will greatly benefit a Rogue with high Dexterity. This determines the ability modifier bonus to Armor Class(AC) for your armor and many of the skills necessary for a Rogue class. The minimum permitted score is 12, but you can and should go higher. Eventually, you’ll be able to get a feat called Weapon Finesse that allows you use dexterity to influence how often your attacks connect instead of your strength. Though, it only works with specific light or medium weapons. Constitution From left to right: 8 CON or lower, 10 CON, 13 CON, 15 CON, and 17 CON or higher. This determines the health of your character as well as saving throws when getting poisoned. Interestingly, this also determines the breast size of the Princess. At 12 or lower, she’ll be pretty slim. At 13 or higher, she’ll be considered well endowed and many NPCs will comment on her assets. Either way, more health is good and lowering this will only make it easier to die if you get into combat. Wisdom With 17 DEX and 8 WIS, the Princess is good at hiding, but bad at seeking. This determines your willpower and ability to successfully spell cast. You’ll be playing a Rogue on your first playthrough so this is not really necessary to invest in. You can keep this the lowest if you want but be aware that you’ll often fail to resist mind spells like fear. Intelligence At 10 INT, the Princess gets 9 skill points at every level up. This determines the amount skill points you gain at each level. High intelligence is only beneficial to wizards. Keep this at 10 or higher to make sure you don’t have a shortage of skill points to use at each level up. Charisma There are many guard checkpoints in Betancuria. Don't get caught with stolen goods. This determines your physical attractiveness and it affects your ability to successfully lie and persuade. The minimum permitted score is 14. Setting this higher will make it easier to win skill checks during dialogue but you may not have enough points to spread to your other abilities. Take your time moving your ability scores around. It's important to know what your Princess' ability scores are so you can understand what situations she excels at. You can always try playing with different stats and classes after you’ve gotten familiar with the mod. Just make sure the Princess is a female human that can steal, sneak, pick locks, and has 12 DEX and 14 CHA at the minimum. Here's what I chose in case you're wondering: 10 STR, 17 DEX, 13 CON, 8 WIS, 10 INT, 15 CHA Done? Alright, let’s move on. Packages Choose Default Rogue, and below, choose Configure Packages. For your first playthrough, max out the following skills: Bluff or Persuade Fetch the Princess a drink. She's totally not gonna sneak out while you're away and steal all your shit. You can max one or the other. In my opinion, persuade is better as it comes up often in dialogues. Max both only if you really want more opportunities in dialogue choices. Disable Trap Hoo wee! Look at all that sweet sweet exp! Max this skill as it’s very important. This is one of the best ways you can gain exp. You can try to recover a trap to sell later but gold is pretty easy to come by, especially in the dice game you can discover during one of your lessons. Disable all traps to maximize your gains. Hide and Move Silently With both skills, it's possible to hide in plain sight and walk away. Max both as you’ll be playing a sneaky thief the most. Having high ranks in these will make it easier to get by enemies. Use the Stealth Mode toggle every time you’re in a dangerous area, and be sure to save often too because sometimes you’ll get unlucky and get spotted anyway. Open Lock Can't keep a sneaky girl out. Max this too since it’s another great way to earn exp and gold. Break into nearly every house and container to loot to your heart’s content. Be sure you find a trader that will fence your stolen goods first. Pickpocket Thank you for your patronage. Max this skill. This is the one skill you absolutely need to play the mod. Many enemies will be carrying key items that are required to advance the story, and if you happen to steal their unequipped weapon too, then that just makes it easier to fight them if it comes to that. Search Looks like there's someone in the sewers trying to keep out unwanted guests. Max this skill. You can’t disable traps if you can’t find them. Passively, you’ll see them if you’re near, but it works best if you toggle Detect Mode. This skill makes sure you don’t trip a hidden mine and lose those precious exp points. Tumble Got caught off guard and without your clothes on? Run away and let your companions deal with the threat. Max this skill. Sometimes you’ll get caught thieving or draw aggro during a team fight. Use this skill to run away or reposition yourself without getting hit in the back. Set Trap and Craft Trap Come and get it! You stupid block of sentient Jell-O! Set Trap is one of the reliable ways to damage an overpowering enemy. Use Tumble to run past them and lead them into your trap gauntlet. Craft Trap is also a good way to make gold but you’ll need to heavily invest into it to make it worthwhile. Put the rest of your points into each one or only into Set Trap. Next we got. Feats Choose Dodge and Mobility. These are usually meant for combat and are a prerequisite for the Shadowdancer Prestige class. You won't be doing too much fighting early on. But when you do, these will help in surviving the battle. Dodge gives you bonus Armor Class (AC) only to attacks from your current or last target. Mobility works like Tumble as in it will protect you from attacks of opportunity. As you can see above, the requirements for these feats are DEX 13 or greater. I recommend keeping your DEX high to get a bonus in sneaking and picking locks. If you rather use the minimum DEX, you'll have to choose feats that are recommended for your character instead. Customize It's kinda hard to see what you'll be choosing. Go back to the Options menu and set your UI scale to 1.2 or higher if you want. Here you can customize the actual appearance of your character. The heads have their own specific hairstyles attached to them. Although you start out with long hair in the prologue, the hairstyle will change to the one you chose here after you begin playing. You can also add tattoos as well, but it might be too hard to see which kind you choose in this menu. Don’t bother changing the body unless you want a Princess that looks jacked as fuck. (Haha!) Clothing also doesn’t matter. You’ll get a new dress after the prologue and then you can buy many more later. Choose skin and hair color to your preference. The tattoo colors here change two things. The first changes your lip color, the second changes your eye color. Character Info Choose the name of your Princess. Her last name will also be the name of the King. You can set her age to anything you want, it doesn't actually matter. Her age will be 21 at the start of the game. The best voice set to use is Female, Seductress. Even if you don’t plan to role play the seductress type, this voice set fits really well in my opinion. You’re free to choose whichever you think sounds best. Once you hit Play, you’ll be treated to a cutscene where you can see the appearance of the Princess better. If you’re not happy with the way she looks, restart the game or download Customize Character Override Hak (https://www.nexusmods.com/neverwinter/mods/799) to customize your character in-game after the prologue. Now, you’re free to play as the Thieving Princess. You can role play a Sheltered Maiden, a Ditzy Strumpet, an Evil Seductress, or anything in between. Be aware that there are consequences for your actions and a lot of times you’ll have to make the best out of a bad situation. How you deal with those trials can shape the Princess’ world view if you choose to. Be sure to save often too. The general rule is if you’re about to do something questionable, save before you do it. This is an older game, no auto saves are made during gameplay (except in one particular quest). F.A.Q and Other Useful Information How do I accessorize my outfit? Does doing so add or remove the vulgar status of outfits? You can accessorize your outfit using any large mirror, there's one in your room. Each outfit will save the accessories added to it when you do. You don't have to keep those accessories in your inventory when you're finished. Outfits deemed too vulgar to wear in public will still be marked as such even with accessories. I’m low on gold. Where can I find some more? Looting homes and pick pocketing are good ways to earn a bit of gold. You can also whore yourself out to the sailors in the harbor south of town, but that’s inadvisable. The dice game, when you find out where it’s played, is the best way to earn thousands of gold. Carefully read the rules to the game and don’t be afraid to save scum just to keep winning. My character isn’t hitting anything! What gives?! If you’re getting into fights this early in the game, you’re likely playing the mod wrong. But if you insist on killing your enemies, you need to understand how combat works in this game. Essentially, you’re rolling a 20-sided die, adding your current Attack Bonus (AB, located in your character record screen), then attempting to beat the enemy’s Armor Class (AC, a peasant with no armor usually has 10AC). If your attack doesn’t connect, you rolled a low number or the enemy has high AC. Only when you beat an enemy’s AC, will damage come into play. Your AB will get higher as you level up and some weapons have AB as special properties. Just focus on leveling and passing your lessons first. You don’t always have to fight, but when you do, know what’s required to prevail in combat. The Princess keeps saying she’s thirsty, hungry, and needs some rest. Where can I find food and water? How often do I need to have a meal? This is a new feature of the latest mod version. The need for food and rest. The Bear Pit kitchen can provide both. Use the Tab key to find them (The Tab key is your best thief tool, use it often). Eat and drink enough food until you get a notification from the Princess saying that she’s full. Rest in the bunk bed when she starts complaining about being tired. The food and water respawn each day, so anything you don’t eat can be hoarded in your dresser. If you prefer not to be bothered with that, there’s a patch in the mod page that removes that feature. I have enough gold to buy gear but I don’t where to find some. What’s currently the best gear to use? At the hideout, there’s a vendor that sells Greater Gloves of the Rogue and Greater Silent Slippers. Both are expensive but they’re very good options for starting equipment. Then there’s the Bag of Holding and Magic Bags. These are sold in the bag shop in Betancuria North (Old Town) and they are not cheap! If you created a character that can't carry much, these bags will be a worthwhile investment. At some point, you’ll be skilled enough to loot the finance office of the Dhorn Barracks. Use that money to buy the Amulet of the Master (~41k GP) from the jewelry store. It’s a godlike item that boosts a lot of Rogue skills. This is item is very useful for getting the maximum amount of exp during The Golden Chalice quest. If you think you can do well enough without the jewelry mentioned above, there's also the more expensive Ironskin Ring (~81k GP) which gives you a large amount of damage reduction. It trivializes nearly every combat encounter, making your only threats to be mages and enemies with special attacks. Okay. What about weapons? Which ones are good? You’ll likely find good weapons as you quest throughout the world. The best ones have on-hit effects like sleep or daze. Playing as a Rogue means that you do the most damage when you catch someone flat-footed. Flat-foot meaning they are unaware, stunned, entangled, or otherwise unable to act in time to defend against a sneaky strike. Weapons that cause these afflictions are perfect for a solo Rogue. You still have to roll to see if your attack connects and whether the enemy saves against said affliction. The hideout vendor also sells these but they're very expensive. Alright. But what about armor? I wouldn’t bother buying any. The few that worth getting are incredibly expensive. You’re better off sticking with the armor you receive during lesson 2 (Only if you chose agreeable and modest dialog). It has bonus AC against Evil characters and there’s plenty of those in this mod. You’ll also find some other armor worth wearing while adventuring. So, only buy armor if you can spare the gold. The best ones are sold in the Ranger's Guild and Family Hideout. What if I want to make my Princess look pretty? Can I wear something a bit more daring? The empire that’s occupying the city is cracking down on anything considered illegal and immoral. Wearing lingerie and other vulgar clothes in public will get you thrown in prison. Wear those at your own risk. If dresses are what you want, Nora’s Shop has some more conservative choices. Della’s Shoe Warehouse has heeled boots and shoes. Any heeled footwear will greatly lower your ability to move silently. It’s much better to choose flat shoes or boots to go questing with. Wear heels at your own risk. Something’s wrong with my shadows. They stretch into the ground like weird stalks from my character. Is that normal? No, and I don’t know how to fix it. I’ve looked into it and found it had something to do with hanging vertices. Unless someone goes into each mesh in the game to fix it, there’s no way to clean it up. Fortunately, it’s not game breaking, just ugly to look at. Anything else I should know? There are two major issues I came across while playing the mod. Both deal with sequence breaking. First, when you meet a child in the sewer who offers to take you into a secret meeting place for one gold, make sure you agree. There’s a major plot point that can be missed if you don’t. If you do miss it, you can always explore the sewers to find that area later. It’s just better to find it ahead of time. Second, don’t wander into the Mage’s Academy. Making it into the top floor will break another quest specifically designed to use that area. I didn’t realize it until I read the ADwR wiki about that building. If you get stuck on a quest, there are walkthroughs available in the Fandom page for ADwR. Some of them, however, haven’t been updated to the new version of the mod. It’s not always reliable but good to look at for reference. So, there’s my quick start guide. If you have any questions or details I should add, let me know. I’m still learning more about the game and any tips you have could always help anyone interested in trying out the mod. Thanks for reading and have fun!
