Really cute, even though I would have liked more dialog options and a longer romance for Nathan (like the one for Ash). I love the fact that there aren't too many sex scenes and that you have to earn them. They also are romantic rather than pornographic. I really appreciate that. There are some minor issues in this mod (things I would have handled differently), but as I know that's impossible to make a perfect mod and some things are just a matter of taste I give you 9,75.

Great Module. Only wish it was longer.

Mod sucks

Love the module so far though having the Melina date script problem. Even tried forcing it to run via console runscript (which took a bit to figure out how to do ha ha) I don't think it's my pc being slow since I have a pc with a terrabyte of hard drive space and atleast 8gb ram. Even tried talking to nathan first no luck sadly. Any help would be appreciated! =]

Nice Debut, very lush and an interesting story, and great cutscenes that move the story along. However I got the feel that by the 3rd Chapter that things were being rushed and a bit choppy, I mean the city is beautiful but just not much going on really. I played a male sorcerer and didn't realize that Marina is the only romance interest available for males. In some ways, I sort of wish there was a bit more battles or diversion towards the end. The whole meeting Tegan's friends quest was sort of tedious and meaningless in a way... guess i like action and that is probably why i liked the 1st chapter and cleaning the castle better. An enjoyable mod and I thank you for your work...

An entertaining module but I agree with Urthok that the characters could have been given more depth. If you were to update this with more fleshed out interactions (i.e.: a bit more room for individual player personality rather than the one mean one nice options currently available in most conversations) and made it a bit longer it would definitely have potential to be a ten :)

Someday I might give it another chance and play again...

I'm giving you an 9 because I respect your hard work, because it probably took a long time to make the module. I also liked the custom portraits, and I didnt find any bug. If I could ignore the story, I'd give you a 10. But I really didn't like the characters, they were... shallow. Maybe it's just my taste that differs from yours. Considering all that troubles that you (probbly) had to create this module it would be cruel to give a lower score. But I'd give 7 or less for the story, sorry. I also didn't find any typos, proving that you took your work seriously.

Any chance of a version compatible with CEP?
