Poor Attempt at Humor, Failed Parody, Piece of Trash

Description
A Serious Problem...Seriously. A Completely, Utterly Stupid and Pointless NWN2 Adventure that is most definitely not created by Hall of Fame author Alex "Hugie" Hugon
DISCLAIMER: This is a module I made in about 5 hours of work. Keep that in mind while you waste 10 minutes playing it. I took basically one day off from development of my real project, Moonshadows.
You are Ricardo--just Ricardo--a recent graduate of the prestigious University of Anti-Seriousness. Upon terminating your studies in the honorable arts of Clown-Slaying, Joke-Telling, and Seriousness-Prevention, you received a summons from an old friend of yours, a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Anti-Seriousness named Mr. Fancypants.
This is a completely stupid, idiotic waste of time and you should only play it if you (a) like stupid jokes--and I mean really stupid jokes; (b) don't mind wasting time, and; (c) don't mind completely linear gameplay that will probably take 10 minutes to finish.
If you laugh a single time during this adventure, I will have accomplished my goal. Enjoy, if at all possible.
------
INSTALLATION:
-place 'ricardo1.bic' in your NeverwinterNights2\localvault\ directory.
-place 'A Serious Problem.mod' in your NeverwinterNights2\modules\ directory.
-prepare to be amazed.
-be amazed.
-Vote...or not.
This is the uber version of Ricardo; apparently those clowns are a bit vicious for a 1st level bard specializing in greataxe-fighting. This guy is *still* a 1st level bard specializing in greataxe, but he's a bit better equipped... ;)
This is the kind of thing you'll have to deal with if you download this module.
This is Ricardo, with whom you must play the module. Unless, of course, you don't mind all the people in the game calling your precious little character "Ricardo" instead of his or her real name. Oh, also, Ricardo really has a feather-tipped hat that is not shown in this picture.

One word: fun!
Simple but very enjoyable mod,nice to take a break from all the epics!
I pretty much died laughing when I saw Drizzt and Entreri's conversation...was actually expecting to see a summoned Baatezu lawsuit speaking on behalf of WoTC *giggles*
The only thing this module lacks in my opinion is a more fulfilling ending,because the actual one leaves you a bit dazzled and unsure if that is the very ending or not,since it remains there and oesn't go back to title screen either.
(hence why only 7.25 and not 7.50)
****possible spoilers!****
For example,after you see you-know-who that you-know-what and Ricardo stays there,he could say something more than "is that it?" like "Ok,time to go back then...uh,why can't I move?Someone help me!";at this point scene could switch back to Mr Fancypants finding a piece of paper and saying "Hey,look Chet,Ricardo forgot something!It seems a missing page from a script talking about the mighty comeback of the hero,being rewarded with unthinklable riches and unspeakable pleasures...oh well,I'm sure he doesn't need this anyway!"
Or something of the sort lol (I know it was a trash example,but hey,I did what I could! *giggles*)
****
Next installment (because there WILL be a next one,right? *laughs*) I'm expecting to see the marvellous adventures of Chet trying to join the university of anti-seriousness,from his humble beginning to his ascent to humorous glory!
:D

Nice solid little romp for when you need a touch of silly thats for sure. I would have to say that the Wisp was absolutely hilarious as was the final battle with Dr. Serious. It's always nice to see modules that try something other then the usual Hack'n'Slash.

I just picked up NWN2 the other day, playing my way through the OC at the moment, it has been a while since NWN1 was installed on my comp, In fact, this is not even the same comp, I came so have a look to see how the community was standing and was surprised to see my old favorite mod author, Keep up the good work, was an entertaining 10 mins. _________________________ A cynic is the closest thing we have to an oracle.

Heh, just finished Moonshadows Ch.1 so I thought I'd try this. Yep, I laughed out loud a few times - isn't that sad? Drizzle boring someone to death by moralising at them, the cat cleaning up on life insurance claims and, most especially "Then we shall fight in the sha... STOP! Don't finish that sentence! Do you want us to get sued?" Worth having a look at for the conversations - nice writing style and a sense of humour. _________________________ "Never be afraid to be the first one to resort to violence"
ok so... i kill the clowns, meet mr serious, talk to him, he tells me I shouldn't use the dynomite yet, save it for later. I throw tea, I talk to him, he laughes, he dies, I am unable to move or use anything...
is that the end or was there supposed to be something more afterwards? _________________________ I do not have a superman complex; for I am God, not Superman!

Brought to mind a verrry old CRPG game that involved taking out killer clowns in a Florida circus town and Monty Python's Silly Walk sketches....
And now, for something completely serious... _________________________ Where the World Once Stood

In the early days of NWN2, there weren't many mods to play. Hugie to the rescue. This is a fun mod that can be enjoyed to its fullest in one game session. Good job on an amusing diversion. _________________________ Jeremy, Son of Perry

Totally hilarious module. I would give it a 10 but for the imposition of a weak-ass character (I had to cheat to kill the stupid clowns). Would be better if it said 'made for good-aligned bards'. But, really funny, I had a good laugh going through it!
I'd like to apologize to whoever requested to have this module reviewed by the Vault guild--this module is just not "serious" enough to merit that kind of analysis. _________________________ Alex "Hugie" Hugon

Haha, I can't believe people are actually playing this! :D I made it in literally 5 hours. Don't expect much, people... _________________________ Alex "Hugie" Hugon

A couple of funny comments, but most weren't. Even though that was the point of the mod, that doesn't really make it good ;)
Haha, glad you liked it! Don't worry, if you liked this, it means your sense of humor is just like mine...which is a wonderful blessing. You should be proud. ;)
I actually quite enjoyed this! I loved the drizzt do'urden nod especially. And the humor was just my speed--dunno what that says about me, really... _________________________ They say the Prince of Darkness is a gentleman, and as it turns out, they're right. A fine gentleman.

Gods, the jokes are indeed very very bad. Y'know, like what a sad, lonely, half-braindead 10 ten year-old would come up with. (well, except for the sex jokes! Steve S. stay out of this one! Pardon my french, but hoolala! Hot content! Mature rating!)
Anyway... Just to report that the "uber" armor didn't work. Had to respawn 15 times... that cut a bit into my enjoyment.
