Good mod man, considering all the garbage in this contest I played in the last couple days, this one is pretty good, and has a good size considering the little time you had to work with it. ********SPOILERS******** It's something really annoying that you had to speak with everything twice in such a small mod, also, i tried to break the mirror and crystal before for the crystal shard, but i couldn't, so it took me some time to decide to try again when the story was near the end. Also, this is a contest mod, people are looking to play for like 5-10 mins, not spend an hour looking for a solution, you should really try to give some hints, and avoid having to talk twice with the guard to get something. ******** SPOILERS **

Kenrae Yah, there's a bug. In your mind. Is it difficult to choose the other option, dude? There's a serious problem with your problem solving ability.

Sorry, but I couldn't finish the mod. I can't get the piece of crystal. Maybe you must do everything in a specific order? I don't know, but when a mod is that difficult to finish because of bugs, it doesn't deserve high scoring. The writing itself was dull, nothing special. I've played many contest mods and this one is sub-average.

Had a lot going for it and a lot against. Everything must be done in a specific order or it won't trigger. Took 7 times to get that right. Could never get the shard from the orb in any thread. Never finished after an hour. _________________________ The road to Ravenloft is paved with good intentions.

Robfaeth: "People come to play a character, not to be told who they are." This from a guy whose mod included such gems of player options as "say nothing" "take it wordlessly", and whose mod's entire purpose was to tell the backstory of your character in relatively great detail. The irony being especially great when said backstory didn't really relate to the matter at hand. Gotta love this guy. Take all comments with a grain of salt. Especially those from other contestants. I guess I'll have to give your mod a play and see what all the fuss is about :)

Hi, Ah! If that is the case (Winrar splash only), then I will DL and use it myself. I can put up with a splash. I will DL and review later as it is too late now. Later. Lance. P.S. I will be using my new scoring system that allows for greater feedback ... I hope it helps. _________________________ World of Althéa Blog: Link

No you can keep using WinRar forever. After 30 days it just gives you a splash screen reminding you to register like most freeware does.

First, great title. There's so many mod's in this contest, and being on dial up, I ended up just skimming the titles and clicking on what sounded cool. A catchy title is the polish to any writers art. That said, some small problems, and I had to open it in the toolset to find out why the crystal orb was not giving up a crystal (maybe I missed something, I ended up making it bashable and saving so I could play the whole way through). The writing is easy to read. Both the plot and the writing are character driven, and give sense of a larger world and possible story beyond the 4x4 area. It's also an achievement and a half (in my opinion) to give a solo player the idea that their pc *has* character. The story felt dynamic - I was obliged to pay attention to my surroundings (not common in NWN), choices in conversation meant something, and actions and choice had consequences. The only major criticism is there were some problems with conversation choices which seemed to break the plot. Most of all, SubBassman has managed the impressive task of taking on Bioware's major restriction - one 4x4 area and no area transitions - and exploited it to his advantage. A striking illustration that a good author makes limitation work for them.

Hi again, Someone has a zipped copy they are going to email me. It's been a while since I checked, but isn't winrar the one that stops working 30 days after installing it? That's why I don't normally bother with it. Thanks anyway. Lance. _________________________ World of Althéa Blog: Link

Hi SubBassman, I am thinking about breaking from my order to cast a few votes on the top modules to ensure I have commented fairly on everyone before its too late. However, your file is in rar format. Is there any chance to upload a zip format as well? If not, I will download a rar prog if need be. It's just that I did not want to do that unless I really had to. (Your mod will be the one that makes me. :) ) I will hold off for a short while to see if you read this message and do add a zipped file. If, however, I come to play your module and it is still only rar, I will sort something out my end. :) Catch you later. Lance. _________________________ World of Althéa Blog: Link
