Character is (usually) a wiseass, but all alignments get options.
Description
The Penultima University of Thaumatological Science (or PUTS) is one of the finest schools in the land, provided you define 'finest' with a very wide margin of error. But it has one notable feature... a magical library which only senior students and aides are allowed to plumb the depths of, as freshman are unlikely to return. Guess who gets to play fetch-a-book? ... This module is a classic errand-running adventure, loaded with conversation, combat, and neat locales. Side quests and secrets abound. Suitable for solo play or cooperative multiplayer. (Updated to v1.4)
This Sucks! Every fight is a pain and Never worth the piddling experience I get. I can't find a store when I find out there's some gear I need. And now, I can't get the quest complete for Andrea. What gives?

The entire Penultima series is a must-have.

The story finally picks up. _________________________ The road to Ravenloft is paved with good intentions.

This was my favorite of the series. Not only was there more variety to the action, but the character also had more opportunity to talk with the various NPCs. Since Stefan Gagne excels at dialog, this is a good thing. I did stumble across the Andrea bug, but after some panic, was able to find a DebugMode command that saved the day.

Definately an improvement over the first one. Interesting locales. Varied tilesets. Better dialogue all around. And better quests. What more could you want? *spoilers ahead* Some battles were fairly difficult. I'm playing solo with a monk. But I was able to take out the skeleton chieftan. I have healing as one of my skills, and I needed a few healing kits. I also landed the killing blow on the balor. So I'm level 6 exiting this module. Still, experience is hard to come by at times. It looks like I've completed all sidequest (I read the spoilers after completing it). There was this one chest in the magical engineering section with a difficult trap on it. If I roll a 20 I can evade it for no damage. But the trap still remains on the chest. I don't have the patience to continue reloading to continue to get 20's on my reflex rolls. I guess I'll never know what's in it. No bugs that I can tell. Everything flowed smoothly. I'm running latest patch of NWN, HOTU expansion. Now to the next one (if I have time- I have some work I need to do...)
