This all-in-one package includes the most up-to-date versions of three modules: The Gods Themselves, The War for Cania, and Monastery of the Flaming Star. Together they comprise an epic adventure for a PC that completed the evil storyline of the Hordes of the Underdark official campaign (betrayed the seer, elected to rule Cania with big M as a servant). Each module seamlessly transitions to the next. In addition to this package, you will need patch 1.69 + HotU + SoU + the Castle Interior Windows hak. Older 1.68 version still available.
Package in self-extracting executable (Windows). This package was created with Bioware's nwcontbuild; to run succesfully on Vista, you'll likely need to use "Run as Administrator".
I just wish there was a way for my Blackguard to capture/corrupt the Paladin in the 3rd module.

I loved these modules and I just wish they were longer or there was more to them.

Enjoyable but the fights got easier not harder. *SPOILERS* M was incredibly easy and the CoSS went down so quick they might as well have been goblins. Still nice to take my Hordes character out for a spin, even if my Rogue/Fighter/Weapon Master could just wipe everything away without breaking sweat. In fact even the dragon went down to a devastating critical in one hit.

SPOILERS: I've done part 1, beaten Eliestrae, don't know how, just stood there whacking away... so I suppose I'm in the War for Cania bit. Done Ignos Tower and got to the Countesses L's fortress, but I didn't see how to proceed from there. (I also made everyone hostile :X) Aribeth and other companions aren't levelling up with me, they all stay at level 26. Is there a reason for that? Or how can I fix that?

deadbeat: no plans for another sequel. While the ending of Monastery does leave room for further adventures, it does have a clear ending and no cliff hanger. I do intend to do another update to the trilogy after patch 1.69 is finally released.

Very good! Will there be an ending?

SWEET! My copy of NWN died about halfway through my first play of "The War For Caina" (about a year ago) and then my install discs somehow got lost in a move. I've been NWNless until last night when I finally got Diamond installed (Yeah, I know, everyone's going to NWN2 :P Phooey on y'all). I've been looking to play through these for a long time now. Thank you, first for writing such an intrigueing storyline, second for keeping the code up to date, and finally for compiling the series together in a single download.

Thanks for the feedback. In response to Whatever1002, I think you gave up playing too quickly. Provided you have the right skills or are willing to buy their truenames, you CAN exact the ultimate price from your prisoners in the first module. For those that commented on combat difficulty, unfortunately, combat is difficult to balance at epic levels. In my opinion, most of the combat, besides bosses, should be easy. This is to reinforce the fact that your PC is epic. On the otherhand I have tried to make the boss flights a challenge. If you have suggestions that will not make the fights impossible for weaker character builds, I'm open to them.

The trilogy starts with a grandiose claim about how the gods themselves fear you... The reality is that your own prisoners ridicule you and you can't even do anything about it. The trilogy should be renamed "You are a Joke."

This trilogy is good! You've done a good job on creating a continuation story for HOTU. I always like the Forgotten Realms setting modules better than the custom ones. I would've given a rating of 10 if not for several cons: 1. The battle against Elisstrae is hard but not challenging enough for me. And I expect a more difficult battles in the 2nd and 3rd modules. As it turns out, Mephistopheles and Company of Seven Stars are much easier to defeat than Elisstrae. 2. The story is good, i just can't get enough of it. I wish the module is longer (in terms of playing hours)
