Legacy: Dark Moon Rising - A prelude to a series of modules. A console style mod. You live with your family, in a small farming community where nothing much happens. The only difference today being is that it's the 10th anniversary of your brothers death. The nightmares have been getting more vivid as the anniversary has approached, and you have not been looking forward to this day. You just want to get it over with.... Notes: You must use the premade character to play (Connor Aylomen Lvl 1 Fighter). I strongly recommend you download the optional music: Legacy Music Pak 1 ---UPDATED 01/09/04------ See readme for details.
Although I appreciate the attempt, this mod is unplayable on a moderate system. Not to mention you can't even walk from one place to another because there's so much junk in the way... character hangs and bizarre camera actions abound. Just walking through a room is frustrating. The protaganist's dialog suggests he is supposed to be a lay-about kid... why does he look like some aging death-metal star? While the music is pleasant enough in general, the fight music sounds like a 70's action show reject theme. Also, why didn't you take the time to credit the composers? I really tried to like it, but this mod is a perfect example of form over function... eye-candy 80% vs. gameplay and plot 20%

What a splendid visual experience, even if it makes the loading times take longer. Seriously, these are probably the best visuals I've seen in any NWN module. Oh yeah, and the gameplay is great too. ;) Seriously, the actual plot is a little weak, and most quests consist of odd jobs for various people, but the experience of traveling through such lush enviroments makes it all worth it--even if you are mostly just fighting animals. On a side note, I am not religious and don't consider myself a prude, but I thought that song the choir boys were singing was quite inappropriate. Come on, they are little kids, and in a church no less.

Incredible Graphics, Incredible sound. Can't wait for the next installment. Loved the cutscenes!! May have to replay at least once more to hit spots I might have missed, and yes, the respawning did get a little annoying later, but overall a great piece of work!! thank you

Superb module! The visuals remind me greatly of Morrowind. Together with the music, even exploring is a blast! This mod really stands out from the crowd and leaves an impression and I've been playing mods since the game was first out so that's saying lots! Many times during gameplay I just stared in awe at the scenery and couldnt believe it's NWN. The story is simple but I like the way you arrange it with both brothers suffering the same fate one in the beginning one in the end. That's really cool. I actually cried out loud when Connor finally realised what's wrong. Can't wait for the next installment and see what happens to the brothers!! One little complaint is the spawns which keep coming. It gets annoying when one has to go back and forth. I probably killed the whole falcon species. Other than that, this mod deserves to be among the best so I give it a 10. Thanks for the game and please release the next part soon!

Doyleboy, truly an excellent module. Fantastic use of tilesets and placables. Good story and belivable people. Interaction are a bit on the narrow side. But still, one of the best mods out there. Looking forward to the sequel. :)

Hi Doyleyboy, Your module is really a stun for me. I have tried many mods before and this is the first time I don't feel "familiar" inside your mod. You have used the custom tileset very well. Although it push the limit of the engine and is a bit sluggish, this mod is a great one. I love the music "Away in Zanarkand" from FFX. I also love the one used in beginning and the ending of the mod, it gives me a familiar feeling as those I have listened inside a great chinese RPG game series. Two thumb up for your mod! _________________________ Overlooked Module Report February 2009 | Master List | Forum Thread Academy of Modding Excellence Romance Module List Horror Module Collection Starlight's favorite module list

Stunning graphic and music. Although it is quite sluggish, it shows you the limit of NWN engine could do. It will be a great loss if you miss it. _________________________ Overlooked Module Report February 2009 | Master List | Forum Thread Academy of Modding Excellence Romance Module List Horror Module Collection Starlight's favorite module list
