The world has Turned. One by one, the lands of the Sword Coast have fallen before the wrath of a newborn god. Yet hope remains aboard the Elizabeth Arthur, as she sails west on a last, desperate quest (a sequel to The Pig Farmer).
I found the story very, very interesting and some of the scripting and special effects really spectacular. The whole astral plane idea was really wonderful! I did have a couple of "issues" though. The XP ramp. Set at 100%? Never seen anything like it. I was levelling more often than resting! I think I got 6 levels in 3 hours play-time! While the ship and the island seemed reasonably balanced for combat, after that it was a joke. It was balanced for the other NPC's in the game, I stood back and sucked up the xp. Not necessarily a bad thing, but I did not find it that much fun. Equipment was non-existant, but from other comments, I assume I missed something? Anyway, a good mod all in all. I too found the story had quite a "rushed" feel to it. A little polishing/fine-tuning/balance would make it much better. I also had the impression that this was a continuation of the first - therefore use the same character. This made no sense whatsover. I also see, from other comments, it was a continuation of the story for the NPC's, not the player. Hmmm...

Great storyline. Interesting, different concepts. Lots of stellar details. Kept me up much too late.

Great module, carefully scripted to reflect consequences of your actions.

Intelligent and enjoyable but very linear -- not really a game so much as an interactive story.
