Description
Version: SoU + HotU Description:This module starts with the most traditional of beginnings on your farm, but nothing is as it seems. The Borderlands are being overrun, and soon you are caught up in it as your farm is attacked. When you discover your father is not really your father, who can you turn to to trust? Designed for: Non linear, starting module, for those who like a Baldur's Gate style go anywhere world. Single or single party play. No HAK required. Not designed for: Not for those that prefer a strong central plot, linear play, or feel lost with a lot of choice. Not for those who need strong henchman characterisation. Rules: Limited Rest (optional), Death options included, xp for kill and for skill/alignment/class/ability/deity use. You are recommended to take at least one point in several skills by level 3 (see readme) Tasters: Plenty of custom content, illusions, crafters, rumours, language... Comments:Feedback, especially from multiplayer, will be very well received. There will however not be a part II until NWN2. Last Update: October 2006 - cloak update.

Just started playing this module 3 days ago and I'm enjoying the freeform exploration and the world you've created. My PC and Marcus came close to dying against some bosses, but so far no fatalities. Good job on the combat balance. I do want to point out that the script "cu_trig_druidplu" causes a divide by zero error. Looking back at some posts dated in 2003 this should have been fixed in version G. I'm playing version O. I'm no expert at scripting but wouldn't calling the line "AdjustReputation (GetNextPC(), OBJECT_SELF, -50);" 5 times in a row cause an error if there is only 1 player? According to the lexicon, GetFirstPC() must be called before using GetNextPC(), and it also returns OBJECT_INVALID if there are no PCs. You are then adjusting the reputation on OBJECT_INVALID after. Maybe looping through the party would solve the problem? Just a thought. Will vote when I'm finished playing.

Invisible models happen from time to time in all modules - I've seen it all over the place, but it's very rare (if you get what I mean). With all the additional understanding gained on Wyvern Crown, I now understand it's an engine level bug caused on updating appearances. I'm curious though, are you missing every one, or some are showing, some not? _________________________ Works of B G P Hughes: Link AME Chairman

No one else has commented on this. Maybe I am the only person with this problem. The Kobold models are not present. Hitting the tab key shows the name box over their location but they are not visible or selectable. I am playing v1.67. This is the only module I have that has this problem. The Kobold models are in the Wanderer.

A VERY underrated module, this module was, by far, one of the most enjoyable I?ve ever downloaded from the Vault! While not for everyone (because of its ?non-linearity?), I would highly recommend it to any who desire to ?play? their character and have the patience to discover their world through exploration and contact with others. An excellent module that doesn?t even require a hak -- thanks for the entertainment! [I played a human Bard-Rogue-Dragon Disciple; final levels: 6/3/2. Kept Marcus for the entire mod.] Dave

this really is better than a lot of modules. Especially in terms of breadth, go anywhere, do anything style.. half my kingdom for regenerating monsters tho. once an area is clear. it's clear! wah.

Just wanted to add my praise for this outstanding module - very well done indeed. Highly recommended!

I just couldn't get into this. I had no idea what to do, or where to go. The readme only gives a little hint on where to go if you want to get to a certain level, but after that it just lists all the areas and what you'll find. But that doesn't help if we can't even figure out how/when/why we can reach those areas. The areas are beautifully designed, but pretty scenery wasn't enough and in the end, i just said "they can keep this bloody birthright!"

Enjoyable, but not without its' flaws. Still better than most.

OK - understnad. Apart from the bug, the other stuff is mostly fair (I don't go for the brackets thing - they've existed in the English language for ages). Much of this is more about the age of the mod than anything else - basically my skills have hopefully improved somewhat since this mod, although villains that talk is a personal hate of mine because it prevents archers from using their bows! _________________________ Works of B G P Hughes: Link AME Chairman
