Description
A black cloud has settled over the fishing village of Crimor, and it seems as if fate has drawn you there. You have learned that the source of the towns troubles is somewhere within the Silvermarsh, and that the father you never knew journeyed there long ago.. In order to obtain a guide into the uncharted marsh, to discover the truth about your father and your past, you have joined the organization known as �Kale�s Rangers�. You struck a bargain with Nelad, head of the rangers, that to get a guide you must first perform what seemed to be a routine mission - to seek out the missing ranger Baewyn. In your search you have learned that nothing about this mission is routine. Note: You must use the character you finished KR1 with. This module also uses custom music which is contained in the separate hak file. You need the small hak file which is included with the module, but do not need to download the custom music if you can live with many areas not having music.
Both this and part 1 are excellent adventures! The storyline, dialogue, character development, and tracking system are top notch! The puzzles are very clever. Nice addition on trap setting as well. I had a tough time with the giants, I had no extra traps at that point so I had to play it on "easy" to get through it. Overall I would highly recommend these two mods. So I take it Pt 3 has been abandoned? Looks like the last update to Pt 2 was about 6 months ago. Anyway, you should be getting paid for stuff like this - bravo! _________________________ Defeat the Black Knights! Play Phantasie

Any news on the progress of part three? I was under the impression that the K3 module included *is* the placeholder (at least, looking at it in the toolset left that impression, what with having only one room and all), and Stormrazor is still working on the third installment. In any case, these are great modules, and I hope they are going to be continued. - :) :) :) :) :) :) :) _________________________ Sounds like a job for.... Ta ta ta dah...

Actually if you guys look KR3 is included in the d/l for KR2. The problem seems to be that KR3 won't initialise after finishing KR2 and so leaves you in the placeholder. Using the backup version of KR3 made no difference at all.

Kales Rangers is a great module and a real shame that there is no KR3 to allow your ranger char to complete the quest and enter the Silvermarsh to find out your families history. I can remember playing KR3 way back and I will try to see if I have a copy on one of my backup DVD's. Though if I do find it, KR3 may not work with the newer NWN patches.

hdd, you *REALLY* need to use custom traps to beat that trio. Yeah, you get slaughtered fighting them head on. Reload, lay a long narrow minefield, then stealth/shoot/retreat until they take the bait.

Whoever play tested this module clearly wasn't doing it with a level 5 ranger, more like level a 15 ranger. The combat is unnecessarily difficult to the point of frustration and I haven't found any weapons suitable for a dex based ranger. The battle with the 3 forest giants is just plain ridiculous, not only are they a higher level then you but they can also stun you with their ranged attack and damage you for another 10-20 hitpoints when each one dies. On the other hand, The Story and the plot is very well done. I'd definitely recommend this module to somebody looking to have some fun with a ranger.

Nice second half of a mod; really should be merged with KR1 into a single mod. Hardest part of the game is convincing the henches that when I say "stay a long way back, only use ranged weapons" I really mean it. They charge forward and cost me thousands in revival pearls. KR2's biggest flaw is, of course, the unfortunate lack of a KR3. This pair ends up right alongside Twilight/Midnight/(no Dawn) as great, class-specific, unfinished trilogies.

Kaz has the same problem as a_c_e, under Stirgewood and killed everything he can find but it keeps on saying there is creatures left. Any advice?

I am in love with this mod. I have finished it for the third time now. Each time I get so engrosed into it that time slips by without my knowledge. I hope we get to finish the story soon. I give it a 10.

Fantastic mod, but I'm having a problem under Stirgewood - I've swept the area three times but it's still telling me there are still creatures down there. Any ideas?
