I really like the idea of a bail / bond system that would remove the tedium of waiting in jail but also keep the trial system in place. Also, it gives the PC the choice of whether to rot in jail or not, and likewise the guards the choice of what to do with them while they have them in custody.

Some of the most fun I've had here has been from the inside of a jail cell.

It's like when you managed to AE a sabertiger on Ymph. Sure it's fun riding around sitting on its shoulders like the king of the isle, but always remember kings were made to be overthrown.

In the past, those who foolishly sought power by riding on the back of the tiger ended up inside.

I just want to say that I think the bright orange Safety Cloaks are a brilliant idea. Kudos to whomever came up with that idea, it's effin' perfect.

Reminds me so much of this.

I got my girlfriend to play here for a year, and she sounds like your wife.

To get over the learning curve, I DMed the official campaign for her while also playing an NPC as her henchman. We did NWN1 through the tutorial and up to the end of Chapter 1 (when you defeat Desther). By then we were level 7-8ish, so we went from there to Darkness Over Daggerford, which starts at level 8. Then when we finished that we went to Hordes of the Underdark.

We role played the entire time, which really helped her get ready for EfU. She played her character here up to level 7, which is something of an accomplishment for a non-gamer.

Of course, she quit when we split up, which just goes to show that she was only doing it for love. That's something to keep in mind. If your wife gets into this, it's probably only because it's something you want to do, and you're likely going to owe her some chick flicks and "girls' nights out" in repayment.
