Description
Introduction: Haunted by a dark past. You are a lone ronin employed by your former Sensei to complete a mysterious task not yet revealed to you. Armed with only a katana and your employment letter, you head to the nearest inn in Kyoto, the capital of Feudal Japan. And just as you were about to enjoy your first warm meal, you felt trouble stirring in the air again...
Module Focus On:
-Choices and general dialogue
-Romance options with npcs (although romance is optional)
-An intriguing original story set in late edo, pre-meiji era of Japan
-Roleplay over combat
Designed For:
-Players who favors roleplay over excessive combat
-Players who likes a central plot
Requires: 'NeverWinter Nights' game with 'Shadow of the Undrentide' and 'Hordes of the Underdark' installed and updated to version 1.65 to play.
I played this along time ago and really liked it.. So I decided to re-play it, and Im stil in awe of the atmosphere in Ronin. The animation HAK makes the women neckless due to some updates since then I guess? But it didn't bother me much as it's not affecting the gameplay and story. One of the best. To bad Avi seems to have lost her intresst in NWN, but I wish her luck and give her my thanks for creating such nice gaming memories.

I've just downloaded and played this through, and I cannot praise it highly enough... It was vast amounts of fun gettin' my Ronin on, the visuals were stunning, and it was the first module I've played from the vault that really made me feel the scale of a city properly (and the handy tourist guides saved too much aimless trekking around). I really can't say enough nice things about this module, and the story was superb - a proper feudal Japanese melodrama, with lashings of intrigue and a lovely relationship system with some really well-drawn NPCs... Forgive me babbling, but I'm really impressed, and hoping that you'll eventually find time to release Ronin 2 - if you need any help proofreading, playtesting or whatever then I'd be glad to volunteer. I'm off to play Dusk of a Samurai now. Many thanks for a superb module.

Excellent game for many, my entire family had fun. Thank you Avi. Your module is different from the run-of-the-mill stuff out there, a true delight. My only regret, I have yet to find Ronin 2. Wonderful characters and story, an enjoyable shifting in the plot. The intro warns that you need a katana wielding character, and this game restriction works as advertised.

Wow, this one is a must-play. A beautiful scenery, an enthralling story and great NPCs. I really enjoyed the variety of dialogue options (lots of roleplaying) and the overall visual style of this module. But some of the areas are too huge. That's why i always used these "tourist guides" instead of walking to an area myself. I think it would contribute to the atmosphere if the maps were smaller and you had to walk all by yourself. Just my opinion. I'll give you a 9.75. Please keep on working, i'd really like to see another piece of work from you. _________________________ "Duty is everything - the greatest of joys, the deepest of sorrows..." - Aribeth de Tylmarande NWN2 Romance Module List Thread for NWN2 Romance Module List

I have just finished your module, and let me say this, if you do not continue with Ronin 2; it will bring tears to my eyes.I escpecially liked the relationship/flirt options as it brought about the old pnp honor system in a way. Oriental Adventures has always been my flavor favorite. Being a practicioner of the arts does hold sway itself. Please keep up the fabulous work if at all permitted. shay shay Urel-ye

Great Mod. I really enjoy the athmosphere!

Entranced for nearly six hours in one of the saddest times in Japans' history. None of the romantic intrests took the slightest intrest in my character but I loved every minute of it and hope Ronin 2 is out soon. _________________________ Trying to learn NWN scripting in an attempt to stave off approaching senility.
