In a world of doom, in a time of darkness, you play the role of a paid assassin in the city of Shander. This is an adventure of death, betrayal and hope.
I'm loving it so far. I forgot to check min lv and entered my 10th level character (Rog2/Wiz 5/Pale 3). Definately made invisibility an very important spell to avoid the guards to kill the mark.

Not a total waste of time. But I gave up playing after a couple of hours. Roleplay: Heavy?? Nope. Heavy in the H&S is more like it. A lot of spelling errors and since I did take the time to use a posted link, understand why.
Low loot and gold. That's fine, but what truly irked me was that in the space of five minutes, I watched my character level three times! And that was while I was in a single building and offed a smallish number of foes. I found the "Naming" of them to be weird. "Hannibals"???
I found the layout of the maps as well as the interiors to be well done. Especially where the placement and then the removal of Map Pins too of great use and well done.
I would really like to see someone in the Community take this work and polish it up making it what DeltaVega had envisioned.

What a great :-) mod, and what a humour: ''Do this, ... do that ...'' and so on. -- But, unfortunately, the module's author had o die (really; just look at his homepage news etc.pp.). But why did he have to die? Is God evil? Seems so. _________________________ There's an empty space inside me now:

Wow. I just played through the mod, and was coming happily to leave my vote and comments, then saw the comment about the author's passing in 2004. Terrible news.
Anyway, this is a very well-done module, and I'd recommend it to anyone. I greatly enjoyed the (Evil) ending.

It's modules like these I like, modules made for rogues, It's a great module with some flaws, but as being the first module he made it was very well done and I salute it...
It's sad that there will be no more modules from Delta Vega and it's a pity a such young person like him shall leave this world so soon, but as it's said, "Only the good die young" wich means god had something else planed for him...

May he rest in peace.
I have played through this mod in one go, simply because the atmosphere and the story wouldn't let me quit. Without giving any spoilers, the Good ending was wonderfully done.

I had a great time playing this mod. The dialogue and journal entries were really good and amusing. A crying shame that the author died. 24, yikes!

That's tragic, 24 years old. It's not right. Just finished this mod using the supplied 20 Assassin and came here to say how enjoyable it was, never having played any Rogue-type character before.
Was going to carry on that Assassin in other Mods, but just doesn't seem right now. Rest in peace.

It is with great sadness that I come to this page to inform all those who have tried this mod that future updates will not be possible - DeltaVega, the sole creator and developer of this mod, passed away on March 19, 2004. He was 24. The cause of his death was a heart attack. I was a friend of his, and I have heard from others who knew him that he may have had a congenital heart condition which led to this. May he rest in peace, and may this mod be a testament to his creativity and what might have been had he not passed away.

I play and give a "8" for this mod.
The whole is a lot too easy for my 19th Assassin (as recommended on the Vault) and the rewards are too far ridiculous in gold and XP for the contracts !!!
I gain far more XP in the fights than in the contracts !! This is a great negative point for me :( Only 10000 XP gained are not enough to maka a level at the recommended levels for the mod. While the contracts are weel-done and coherent.
Some ennemies are really too tough and need strategy to beat.

A solid and moody module. Could have been a little more polished.

Very linear. You are forced to take on jobs even if you don't feel like and sometimes when you come to an agreement the person simply doesn't pay..
stopped playing after about an hour when someone promissed me 500 up front and gave me squat.

hmmm....felt like i was playing diablo...nothing but hack n slash. why did you put heabvy roleplaying? all it was was go kill this go kill that...and yes i know you're playing an assassin..but if i knew it was soooo completely boring i wouldn't have downloaded it.
honor among thieves was a MUCH better mod...for Rogues and it actually has real RPG'ing in it.

Great module. A little too much h&s, but grand atmosphere. Also beatable with a lvl 6 character (did not read the requirements) (3fighter/3rouge) finished with lvl 11 (fighter4/rouge5/shadowdancer2).
The superior shortswords can be sold. Is this planned?
