The nation of Sterich has always had to deal with the dangers of the Giant population of the Crystalmist mountains which make up their western border. Recently, however, the Giants have begun raiding the land of Sterich in large numbers, and the attacks appear to be more coordinated than is normal for such dull brutes. Several Giant warlords have emerged and they have been rallying their people in a genocidal war against humankind. To make matters worse, a fearsome spell has befallen the capital city of Istivin. A call has been put forth across the land for the bravest and most powerful adventurers to punish the miscreant Giants. This classic PnP conversion is the sequel to A1-4 Slavers (Scourge of the Slave Lords), but playing the first module in the series is not required.
GOOD .I did not encounter anything particularly good about this module before I fell almost asleep while my character was running through a seemingly endless area with nothing to do. BAD .Ludicrous amounts of time wasted walking through vast -- VAST -- tracts of empty space. This is the worst part of this module, and the worst bored-to-sleep-by-empty-space module I've ever encountered. .Fire giants have no melee weapons, only throwing axes? .Token dialogue. Why even bother with it at all? .Trust me: Don't bother downloading the .bik. ODD .No scimitars in the store. _________________________ PC Game Reviews, Hints, and Walkthroughs -- The Fantasy Art of Computer Games

There are 4 files in the zip. Put G1-3.mod and G1-3.txt in the NWN/modules folder. Put G1-3.bik in the NWN/movies folder. Put G1-3.hak in the NWN/hak folder. That's all you need to do. _________________________ "'The time has come,' the Walrus said, 'to talk of many things: of shoes - and ships - and sealing wax - of cabbages - and kings - and why the sea is boiling hot - and whether pigs have wings.'"

I recently down loaded both A1-4, andG1-4 installed them, the way I have done others, but both show a window with--could not load the module, missing required HAK file. check your log file for the list of missing hakpaks.-- I have no idea where to go to fix this problem- send help soon

I'd love to play this series as I remember having a good time with it back in'79. When I download the file it doesn't install. Sorry for being so dense but how do I get this thing going? I've downloaded other mods without problem before.

While I liked it at first, it started to get a little tiring of killing giant after giant. Also nice stuff.

Hey Guy, Good job, quick question though, what's the story with the temple at the end, maybe a spoiler on that one? You had said you first played it in 78", well 81' or so for me. And I really don't remember that part, anyway I'd like to finish it. Haven't played D D since college( just picked up NWN six months back or so )and I never thought I'd get to play those old modules again. When you get the Vault of the Drow squared up I'll be downloadin' that one for sure.-J

Hi Nol Yes I thought that was the case.. still makes me chuckle.. :) Also loved the "keg of level up" - my wife slapped me for keeping her awake with my comical muttering. While I note you are looking to work into D and Q series and have some areas done....... Please Please consider the C series. (C1 and especially C2 Tower of Inverness). You do really fine work with interesting tricks like the magnetic orb (in A1-4) and I would love to see your work on the chess board among other things. The D and Q series seem already overly represented although I will be sure to play your versions... Cheers and thank you.
