Part One: The Sight
Part Two: The Miracle Worker
Part Three: The Alliance
My current plan is to complete Part Two ("The Miracle Worker") in Neverwinter Nights 1, and to develop Part Three ("The Alliance") in Dragon Age. "The Miracle Worker" will be developed in three acts (of which this is Act I), and "The Alliance" will be developed in two acts. Each act will be built as a separate module or chapter in the series.
Act I of "The Miracle Worker" is a bit different in style from the first chapter, "The Sight." It is very heavy on drama and cinematic storytelling, and on roleplaying and companion dialogue (including romance). There are relatively few combats, but a few of them can be very challenging.
Although the sequel can be started and played through as a new module, I strongly recommend transferring to Chapter 2 from a saved game at the end of version 3.4 of Chapter 1. If you start Chapter 2 as a new game (either with a new character, or even a saved character from Chapter 1), then some of the game variables from the first chapter will not be carried over to the sequel. This will affect the romances in particular, since the defaults for these are likely to be lower that what you would have reached by playing through Chapter 1.
NOTE ON IMPORTANT ITEMS: The module includes two important custom items (the Control Rod and the Horn of Rallying from Chapter 1) that it is important for the player to become familiar with, and to be willing to use at times. Otherwise, some of the combats may be more difficult to beat, and some important plot-related information could be missed. The Control Rod must be equipped in the off-hand in order to be used.
NOTE TO PLAYERS WHO PREFER 2-HANDED WEAPONS: In some situations, it may be advantageous for you to temporarily unequip your preferred weapon in order to equip and use the powers of the Control Rod. Most of these should be apparent from the circumstances.
Chapter Two opens with you and your companions finally making your way through the passage to Mount Cassandra. The resistance is under heavy attack, and thanks to intelligence provided by the traitorous Duke Karrik, it is being systematically decimated by Zomoran's army. And also thanks to the Duke's treachery, the Warlord now controls the strategically important Stonegate Keep, and is moving to extend his empire to include the neighboring Kingdom of Rayche.
In the rebellion's most desperate hour, the princess turns to you and your Sight for guidance. And together, you conceive a bold plan to defeat the Magus, the only one that your talent tells you can succeed: to forge an alliance among the nations of the eastern continent, and lead them in an apocalyptic war against the Warlord and his demon allies.
