I had the most wonderful time with this entire Saleron's Gambit story, from 1 to 5. It's amazingly smart because it's so easy going on the technical side that I only felt like playing all along. Easy going doesn't mean simple as it's probably the most complicated but masterminded module I ever enjoyed. XPs come as they should, no matter how you went through each quest. Monsters aren't everywhere but only where they're meant to be, but still waiting for you... even with Tony K's AI. No magical gear. It's all about you, almost naked but with your own experience of " life " and nothing else. When I start a new module my first concern is always which class I should pick. Most of the authors don't say much about it, which I can understand, but... I'm glad I chose to play as a wizard...ess here, as it fits the module so fine. And then it gets really magical, even if it is already by itself. Magic and magical gears are different things. I learned there how important it is to choose any one of your spells very carefully... even the low levels ones. As I had to use all of them in many occasions. Even if resting is not a problem. It's beautiful. Those cities are the finest I ever visited... in NWN. So real. A true dive in history. And that surprising music was always around to give you the mood... if not the creeps. Thanks Mr. Tiberius209, I believe your in the rocket thingy and from now on, I won't be so scared any more of flying into space 'knowing you're somewhere behind it. That comment goes for any of the five parts of the module. Which one I like the best? I wouldn't have enjoyed the fifth one so much if I hadn't played the ones before... before. _________________________ @ + jml, level 52 "Overgod?

This series is in each and every aspect the most brilliant, entertaining and rewarding experience I have found in the NWN multiverse so far. An absolute must!

I actually meant the official patch 1.69, not CEP. There's been some reports of conflict with some modules with the new patch (with the addition of horses and stuff).

Don't know anything about 1.69. I haven't done any updates since 1.53. If the CEP isn't back-compatible with earlier versions, then no.

Do all these mods work proper with 1.69?

I just downloaded the hak and tried it, and it works just fine.

I'm told that the hak is damaged when I try to download it (and, indeed, it doesn't work) =(

Wow! I haven't had this much fun with a fan based (heck! official) campaign in a long time! The bugs were so few and minor that I never took note of them. I've played through all 5 parts (had some difficulty with the 4th and 5th, but, managed through) with a wizard and it was amazing. Reminded me of my days sitting in our living room with paper, pen and dice in hand. Thank you! _________________________ Well...who would have thought THAT would happen? NWN Reviewers Forum: Link
