*This module is a relationship-based romance. How you treat others (and your alignment) affects the ending of the adventure. There are multiple romance options (2 men for females, and 1 woman for males). Trials is rated Adult, because of sexual content and nudity.

*Trials features an engaging 53,000 word storyline, over 95 areas, 3 new feats, and 18 cutscenes.

*You should have a clean override folder before playing, because problems have been known to occur without one.

Very nice, impressive module, that is light and runs at a nice pace(though still a bit too short). Like Veryan already mentioned a last talk with your romance option(Melina in my case) before the end would be really great(yeah I'm a hopeless romantic :D) Great work anyway, certainly worth my vote and comment Cheers :) _________________________ "Life is one long and beautiful song, that is played by Love"

Jedijax, they can. Just make sure your override folder is empty.

The romance cut-scenes cannot be triggered yet? How can that be, since it has been an issue mentioned since the very beginning?!

Posted by ahhsandra at on09/22/09
Thanks for a really nice module. I "only" giving it a 8 because I think it could have been longer. None of the romances would trigger for me but I have to agree with Spidercat on this one. I wanted Tegan to ;) Keep up the good work!

I really enjoyed playing this module. Since it's dialogue-heavy the writing is very important and I think you did a good job with it (except for the frequent and somewhat annoying "could of"s and "should of"s ;) The youth theme came across very well and I had a lot of fun dating my guy. Still there was one drawback to the dialogues for me, something you see very often in community modules: often you could only choose between kind/good and totally antisocial/evil lines which is kind of flat. The story and quests were pretty much standard in my opinion with the latter being very straight forward most of the time. Some of your ideas were quite original though (like the mirror quest). The new feats were a nice touch, though as far as I can tell they didn't effect any dialogues which would haven been even better. *SPOILERS* Romance-wise it was a bit of letdown that I didn't get the chance to spend more time with Nathan after the first chapter much less getting to marry him as you can Ash. An additional scene with him before the final conclusion would have been nice. And yes, I'm spoilt, I know ;P *END SPOILERS* Oh, and I loved the custom portraits you used :) All in all a really good module. It's great there are still people like you providing us players with new content. Thanks :)

incognitus - If I recall correctly, the piece tylerth1 is an Icewind Dale track. If it is the one in Lord Tylers's mansion, it is the end credits music in IWD.

Posted by incognitus at 2009-09-1120:52:39    
from were/what did you get the music piece title tylerth1? Oh yeah, loved hearing "the lonely shepherd" (the kill bill piece) used in the nobles section of the floating city. custom music (for me anyways) helps move a module from the realms of PacMan to something truly unique. Will rate a little later I'm replaying with different character classes. _________________________ "Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly hugely mindbogglingly big it is."

A very good mod by any standard... it's also much bigger than it looks initially and both the story and the characters are well done. It starts as a simple low level mod and I must admit it is not exactly interesting at first... but as soon as this part of the plot is over the whole thing becomes much better. The writing is nice, the way the cutscenes are used is effective and I could find no game stopping bugs. My only complain would be the rather linear structure of the module. It is not really a problem, but sometimes it feels like and adventure game, rather than a RPG... but that was a design decision and it didn't stop me from enjoying the ride... well done, indeed.

Thanks for the vote, deathangel.

Posted by deathangel at on08/16/09
I have to say this is a good mod it went by a tad quick and the story line seemed a might choppy. Sorry for being a critic just giving my opinion. Over all it was very good. Catchy. _________________________ Dying's easy Living's hard "Don't fear the dark...fear what's in it."
