I'm on my long overdue voting-rampage, so here's my opinion on this module, allthough probably no one cares anymore ;). I remember this one as one of the best modules I played so far. It doesn't stick out as anything special in terms of setting and story, but it's well made, well thought through and does capture the feeling of a good old dd session very well I think. There are no bugs worth mentioning (at least not for me), there are no annoying parts (at least not for me) and it's very well balanced (at least... well, you get the picture ;)). Leaves me only to say: thank you for submitting this one and sacraficing your free time for the enjoyment of other people :).

I think the game is solid and ok. But somehow the pacing is not quite instead and there are quite a lot moments which unfornately I was bored.

SPOILERS!!! I gave this module a 9.25. You can see there was a lot of effort put into this,a LOT of effort.Previous comments told that the module had"logic defying puzzles" and things like that,that is not the case,i did not have to refer to a walkthrough except for the serpent key issue.(which was horrible indeed). -Teleporters were awesome -Puzzles made you actually think a little -Excelent Enchanting System So.. Pros -Excelent weaving of the world's history and geography -The World Map screen really gave you a good perspective on the world you were adventuring in. -Really well thought out main dungeons,especially tanorin hold. And now on to the bad stuff -Too easy battles,apart from the Blood Lord almost everyone else was a pushover which really was a let down,my character was a rogue7/wizard7 character and my henchman was the dwarf. -The end fights could have been a little more polished. So all in all,i believe i should put an 8 on the module for the fun factor(due to the easy battles).But due to the amazing effort involved and the very good job the author did in making me want to save this world i finally put 9.25. Cheers:)

I absolutely loved this module. I`m going to play it again soon (I finished it about 2 or 3 years ago) with a more feeble class. What I loved the most about this module, though, was the music! Don`t get me wrong, the whole thing is fantastic, but the music is so well put, that you actually feel like you`re there. This is definitely worthy of being an official campaign. Anyway, thanks for a wonderful mod. Cheers! _________________________ Needles in the eyes!

Hi Wombat - really really enjoying the mod...not finished yet, but the details are great (I love the little touches...books and reading that means something etc). I've got a problem with the Well. I've added a bunch of runes to my Armour of the Stars, but unlike my previous armour, the Wells eats my armour without giving any of my stones back. Tried everything, but won't work. Am I missing something? Is this a prob with this particular armour? If it can't be fixed, are there spawn item codes for all the runestones, so that I can spawnitem my way through this problem? Thanks so much for a great story! Nanny

MadWombat Victory is sweet, I have to applaud your mastery and revise my vote. I think I can do that. I think that this module is a must to play for anyone but it does need patience and a lot of searching and tons of reading. I read all the posts, think that is why I became a little jaded but this has truly passed and those who have commented adversely simply do not know what they have missed. Only time my system crashed was while the credits at the very end were playing. I did miss a few things and I did have the option to go back before I stepped into the final battle but I will replay again forewarned and forearmed. My Char was exported safely, does that mean a sequel? Thanks again for the emotional roller coaster and the euphoria I am now feeling. Best regards _________________________ micon

MadWombat I cooled my heels and had some sleep and today refreshed I decided to have another lash at gaining access to Valion's Crypt and surprised the hell out of myself by doing just that although his actual tomb remains stubbornly locked. It seemed to flow from there and I am now holed up in an inn in Belworth! Jeez I feel really low as for criticisms I made previously and ...all that, and I have to say that this is the most difficult mod I have ever played, so complex but there are no bugs, if something doesn't work it is because you the player haven't seen how or missed a Lot of obscure clues or not read all the book and signs. When I get back to Greenberry Village I will ask the priestess for atonement! Cheers _________________________ micon

MadWombat The puzzles have just gone over the top, there is no bloody way I can figure the island out, I have read all the books spent roughly 3 days on this and I am not putting myself through this mental anguish any longer. You say shoot the lever from the gap! Where do you stand?? Could not see any lever from either side of Belworth Field.And how do you obtain a summons from the the forger in Belworth when you can't get in the main gate.So I did not do this before I went through the Bog and to the Island of Keriades. I was trying to figure out where the Starlight Spirit was was gonna come from, now I shopped with Pelides on the dock at Onedos and that was not an option there in fact he only really had a few potions that were of any value to me after dicing with all the trolls, so when the offer came to shop with him again on Keriades he has magically upgraded his wares! grr talk about devious. Having to go all the way back just flipped me out. challenging If you were trying to to make a "King of Puzzles" game , you succeeded admirably, just one too many specific keys that were not keys, just a order of preference to make it work ,so why not say a task is involved instead of this key nowhere to be found thing. Not everyone is a rocket scientist closely guarding the Gates of Misdirection. From all the posts many players have been stumped and seriously frustrated. Sorry, I love crossword puzzles but detest Sudoku and permutations with numbers. Hell, I have a job to to remember my own number codes, much prefer letters and words. Can you just ease off the puzzle difficulty a bit? Now that I have vented, and cooled a tad, it would be totally unfair to all, who should play this mod, to dock you for what I see is tantamount to mental cruelty in puzzle difficulty. Down but not out totally yet. Funny, in my youth patience was mine and total intolerance ruled, now I am older the reverse is true. _________________________ micon

that didn't change! 12 hrs sleep deprivation does that. _________________________ micon
