Description
Version: HotU + SoU + CEP (v1) NWN patch 1.68 Description: King Tharg has noted your exploits in establishing the colony at Mithri, and has been impressed by your resourcefulness (from part I). As a result he has sent his herald Silverhand with a simple task; he needs his Court Wizard to help deal with the upcoming invasion of the Black Hand. The problem? The Court Wizard is at a monastery in the Wilderness, in the lands that the Black Hand is marching out of. The village of Mithri has not turned out to be the home you hoped for. Your actions have made life there uncomfortable. Even your friends - those that survive - have recommended you move on. It seems the king at least appreciates your worth, and fulfilling his errand is as useful a way as any to seek pastures new. It is not long before you will be treading unfamiliar depths in a race against time, thwarted by magic, feuds from the past and betrayal... Rules: Limited Rest (optional), Death options included, xp for kill and for skill/alignment/class/ability/deity use. Shoutable commands for better henchman control. Tasters: Multiple henchmen that interact with you and each other and act at times independantly. Plenty of custom content, illusions, rock falls, ropes... Comments:Feedback, especially from multiplayer, will be very well received - comments, improvements, etc, and is always responded to. Part III is now in development, but ideas are welcomed.

OI enjoyed this more than Pt. 1. In some ways it reminded me of the film The Warriors where a NYC street gang has to fight it's way home to its own turf many miles away. Here you fight your way to the main quest. However, for my personal experience, the mod suffered the same problem as the first - I missed several quests because I felt pressured to get the message to the Wizard which I had no idea was the end of the game. Battles were extremely challenging. 9.5. NOTE TO AUTHOR - PLEASE MAKE A WANDERER 3 FOR NWN1!

Excellent module. I especially enojoyed the sense of urgency, the large, well-detailed, non-linear dungeon and the limited amount of cash and magic.

Dave - it works fine for me. It must be a PC specific problem. I'm not really sure what to suggest. _________________________ Works of B G P Hughes: Link

Well, now I am really puzzled. Video card drivers maybe? The fact you're getting it on the base non-CEP version is really wierd, particularly as there's not been a change to that part for 2 years. Can you send me a save just before the transition ([email protected]) and I'll see if it crashes for me too. _________________________ Works of B G P Hughes: Link
Hi, Ben,
Yes, all those things are as they should be. I get the same effect with the nonCEP version of Wanderer2 as well.
Cheers,
Dave

I'm thinking about it. I'm finding myself really short of time though.
I'm not sure what's going on with the crash - you do have the correct CEP HAK right (1.68) and the tlk file in the tlk folder? It's the only thing I can think of, since there's been a lot of feedback (i.e. people have got passed here) even since the CEP update. Also, make sure your overide folder is empty - I've seen some very weird effects from having files in there... _________________________ Works of B G P Hughes: Link
Hi, Ben,
Well rats!! My system crashes every time I try to enter the Mithri Foothills. I got in the first time I loaded the mod, saved when Erik joined and had a crash when I reloaded the save. I've reloaded an earlier save, started over, downloaded a new copy and downloaded the nonCEP version. Each time I went straignt from Vror's and had a crash when I tried entering the Foothills. Any suggestions?
BTW, are you still planning on converting the series to NWN2?
Cheers,
Dave

I finished the module yesterday and again am very fond of your work Ben. Despite what you said over at the first part's comments, I found the second part of The Wanderer a lot easier.
There were only 2 difficult parts, fighting the two (!) dragons (man I almost wet myself when the mate arrived) and fighting through the north gate after I was fooled by Hadrul. (Though mainly due to keeping the Henchman alive)
The Hag's garments from part one (regeneration 2) helped a lot keeping me alive and I hadn't to rest at all, which saved a lot of time and gave the opportunity to thoroughly explore the caves despite the time limit.
I don't know how much content I missed, judging from the comments, I did not retrieve the book of lore (no idea of its whereabouts anyway), did not retrieve the smithy's stuff (ore, oil etc) for additional items and have not cleared out the fiery pits (but looted the two Flametongue swords anyway) though I think the pits aren't meant to be cleaned from monsters anyway. I only took Erlik as henchman so I guess I missed out on a lot of NPC interaction but hey, I was advised to only trust Erlik, so I did.
It was a very fluid play, no glitches as in part one (still could not find a key for the door in crypt level 3) and fun to play. Battles were challenging but not frustratingly hard as some battles in part one.
Again a very good module. I'd rather have not the time limit and better have a more lain back feel of play so you can really get the most out of the work you put in the module. In contrast to part one I don't feel tempted to play through this module again though. So only a vote of 8.

The database shows this mod as being updated. What was the update, please?
Thanks in advance

I started this mod right after part 1 and they are as different as night and day. While Part 1 was about building relationships, Part II is a dungeon crawl over a very large area.
I completely ignored the time restraints and time warnings in this mod. I took all my time exploring every area of the halls and caves. It is a vast area and it is easy to get lost from one map to the other. And just when you think you have it all figured out, suddenly there's a rock slide blocking your way and you've got to figure out a new route. You will need your search skills and any potions that can boost them.
I used 3 henchmen: Erlik, Salim, and Kale. Even though I don't generally like to have a sorceror in the party, I would recommend you take Kale. He can certainly turn on the power when he needs to.
This update seems to be the standard version of The Wanderer II, not CEP. I just finished the first one and some my items were red crosses - I've opened it in the toolset and there's no custom content listed in the module properties. Please could you upload the correct version so that I may continue with my character, I enjoyed the first one a lot.

Updated to patch k to make use of the new cloaks - use the 1.68 patches from the CEP. _________________________ Works of B G P Hughes: Link

It's looking doubtful at this time, despite half of W3 being completed. I really have no idea if/when I will get the time to finish. I still intend to convert the series to NWN2, so that's the best hope. _________________________ Works of B G P Hughes: Link

Thoroughly enjoyed this module. Nice plot, excellent sense of urgency, fun crafting features, cool items. My only real complaint is: will I ever get an ending to the story!?
Posted by Jamro at 2006-06-10 22:18:20 Voted 9.50 on 06/10/06
Another good one. The first module where "you're in a hurry" actually means something. Finished the trip in 47 hours, no resting, just regeneration, potions and healing kits. And obviously very little magic. Accompanied by Dwarf fighter, female fighter and the ranger guy.
Just a whole lot of frenzied hacking to keep moving forward. Very different experience from the first one and not in a good way.
Didnt really enjoy it as much as I could have, as the looming deadline made me skip a bunch of stuff. Like not going back for oil after the smith wanted it for mithril use.
And I'm not going to play it another time either. There are just too many games and modules out there to play something twice.
But having done the complaining. Looking at the module as what it was, instead of what I'd have expected it to be. I have to say it's a brilliant piece of work. The areas are as well crafted as can be, nothing's just slapped in there without a reason. Everything fits in place, everybody has a motive for being where they are.
Sure hope there'll be part 3 later, even if the credible window for making NWN1 modules is going to end pretty much as soon as NWN2 hits the shelves.

A great improvement over the first module.

Entertaining, good story line. Very easy to get lost and miss stuff, sometimes very confusing
