(Version 1.04: A big thank to Ginni, which already revised a part of the translation in this version.) This module is the updated bilingual version (english and german) of my module: "Das Lied der Götter", which was originally released in November 2004.
Description : Being the leading actor of the crisis-ridden Mathiny-Theatre, thankfully your popularity among the female audience does not suffer much from the notorious lack of coin in your purse. And, being a clever guy and all, solving the mystery surrounding the fire that destroyed the old theatre and plunged Mathiny, the owner, into quite a plight, shouldn't pose too great a problem, right? But sometimes the Lady Luck lets down even her most favored ones and so, together with an audacious young lady of noble rank, you will be setting out to hurl yourself into adventures taking you to the most strange and dangerous places...
"The Song Divine " is a module for bards that puts great emphasis on conversations, skill use and puzzles, still there will be quite a few times when battles will need to be fought and the sword will need to be mightier than the pen.

Pretty good for a low level module and a module for a bard!

Not a bad module a bit linear, but all in all a good module to get a taste of the life of a bard.
Would have enjoyed few options to be a bit more
of the bad boy this bard is supposed to have been... Oh well it's good enough that I'll be replaying it again one of these days. _________________________ TNI01 Usable Beds || TNI02 Useable Beds || TWC03 Usable Beds

Ohh compliments for great things and great people are never enough :) And I'm glad to know you like that character, I am just like him, that surprised me so much I registered here :P I registered just to vote for this module _________________________ "Life is one long and beautiful song, that is played by Love"
Oh, your compliments in English are completely enough for me ;). I am glad that you like the module so well. I have written in NWN2 a sequel which isn't translated, unfortunately. I like the hero also very much, he is my special darling ;).

"A wonderful piece of art!
With a hero after my own heart
A beautiful simphony for my ears
After looking for all these years
Glory and love make this tale
And the result's the song of a nightingale"
By myself the best poet there is
Wondeful, very good, I think I specially like it because the main character is exactly like me.
And considering myself almost a modern day bard I couldn't help but love it.
Congratulations on this wonderful story, too bad I don't know anything in German otherwise I'd send you a huge list of compliments. :)

For this being the first time of playing a bard I do have to say I really enjoyed this mod... The main character sure is full of himself lol, I found it funny, uplifting and a pleasure to play.

Trying to summon the captain doesn't seem to work. You just get some generic guard. You can, however, directly run the scripts that would have been run in the course of the conversation. Specifically,
runscript kc_verhaften
runscript kc_exp350
and
runscript sv_hauptmann3
then go to the theatre you started in to continue.

A really lovely module. It was nice to have a experience catered to a bard and I got a got a good sense of not just the central character, but many of the NPC's aswell. The overall story was also engaging. Really enjoyable.

Ein sehr gelungenes Modul, alles in allem hat es sehr viel Spass gemacht, obwohl ich normalerweise für Barden gar nichts übrig habe. Was mir außerdem sehr gut gefallen hat, war die Tatsache, dass das Modul zu einem zufriedenstellenden Abschluss gebracht wird und nicht - wie manche anderen Mods - durch einen Cliffhanger am Schluss zwar verdeutlicht, dass es ein Sequel geben wird, aber trotzdem ein etwas "leeres" Gefühl zurücklässt.
Die englische Übersetzung ist auch sehr gut geworden.
Mein einziger Kritikpunkt ist der, dass man am Anfang doch etwas ratlos umherläuft.

I found this module a real pleasure to play, true, the story is linear and I was never sure that my choice of option dialogue with Isabell made much difference to the evolution of the romance, but it was a lot of fun. I don't normally play bard but it was enjoyable to go through the theatrical background and adventure as a "Skillful Minstrel" Bd/F/RDD and it wasn't difficult to get through the combat or skill checks. Of course I would have liked the mod to be longer and hold out hope for a sequel!
Vielen Danke to all concerned especially for providing such an eloquent English translation.

I simply loved it.
Not only bard is probably my favorite class, and this module is a true bard story, being to the bard class what " A dance with rogues " is at the rogue one, but, beside, it's got so many very creative and beautiful ideas and pure role-play story-lines I never saw before. Already, the quite unusual choosing of music, through such a subtle and most poetical quest for the ultimate power of the divine song, is such an essential and stunning scheme into the NWN world of module writing.
This ballad could lied oups! sorry, lead you so far away if you only allow yourself to go with the flow. Your flow.
Das Lied der Götter...
I feel the title is even nicer in german.
It's like a perfume, a river.
Thanks to the translators, sensitive enough to realize the piece had something special which was much worth their effort to offer it to us.
And thanks to you, Ute! _________________________ @ + jml, level 52

Here is what I did and it worked fine. I moved aside from my NWN directory:
1 ) the override folder itself, playing with none, not even an empty one
2 ) the cep1patch153.hak file
And...
I was finally able to see this famous captain Rolan! And I hope the graveyard keeper as well, for later.
Now, I should have a nice time through that interesting story.

As I never actually saw that captain, the only real clue I got of him is through the city guards dialogs, who advice me anytime I speak with them to go see a certain Captain " Strabo " at the Guardhouse; Probably just some translation mixed up. Your english is more than good enough for a french to understand it! Ah, ah! :-)
Too bad, I love your piece, and bard is my favorite class. I already tried trashing the override folder. Nop! I'm pretty sure I have 1,53 installed among all of the other CEP I could find and never had any problem so far with any module... only recently, with another 1,53 one...! I'm playing NWN 1,68 so that could be the problem... I'll ask around at the module section. Those guys are masters... but nice...
I've been reading some other people ran into the same exact problem. Including the warden at the graveyard
I badly wanna play this bard of yours.
Could I maybe just debug-spawn him and would it work? _________________________ @ + jml, level 52

I have tested this, and Captain Rolan stands in the city guard near his desk, absolut correctly ;). If nothing more content is in override, there is, actually, no reason, why he is not there. It`s very strange.
I am a little bit confused... who is Strabo? If you have spoken with Milio (successfully!) and the last piece of evidence, you should go to Captain Rolan in the city guard. Now I have the English translation not to check, but I do not believe that Armin has renamed him. If this is not the problem, please describe again little bit more exactly. Sorry, my English knowledge is not particularly good ;).

I even trashed the override folder, restart the module from the beginning, just a bit of acting for the fun and then staright to the barracks.
No one, empty, no captain around! Bammer, I was going so well into that story feeling.
Hilfe! :-))) _________________________ @ + jml, level 52

I never saw this Captain Strabo anywhere, neither in the barracks which is, i suppose what you've called the guardhouse, right? Where is this guy, I have all the clues, and even went to talk to Milio? _________________________ @ + jml, level 52

Zu deinem Beispiel hast du in der Tat einen Hinweis übersehen, in der Nähe der Brandstelle ;). Aber man kann ihn wirklich leicht übersehen.

In meinem Augen ein sehr gelungenes Modul.
Besser kann man es wohl kaum machen.
Eine sehr schöne Geschichte, in die es wirklich Spaß macht einzutauchen.
Blöd fand ich nur, dass man ja wirklich keine Hinweise bekommen hat (oder ich war zu blöd um diese zu sehen :) ), und in manchen Situationen wirklich alles absuchen musste.
Ein gutes Beispiel wäre da die Suche nach dem zweiten Damenhandschuh.

Why not just use a different head for this mod? Why not just use the default Bioware heads? Or use a head package that doesn't cause conflicts? Given that the mod author has no idea what is in your override folder, how do you expect her to "fix" the module? _________________________ My shoes are too tight and I have forgotten how to dance.

Well, I hope you can fix the module because my NWN PC head is in the override folder. _________________________ Steve's Characters - please don't forget to vote on them if you play them.
