SO MY DEAR PLAYERS - DOWNLOAD AND PLAY THE SECOND MODULE OF THE ASYLUM-TRILOGY: "A CORPSE, A VOTE"!
IT'S ABOUT INNOCENCE. AND GUILT. OR PROBABLY NOT. BUT WHO KNOWS EXCEPT FOR ME, THE ALMIGHTY BUILDER?
Updates Asylum to the most recent game version (v1.04) - just replace your asylum02update.hak with the file in the rar-file
History:
v1.04
- fixed a bug regarding action overflow with the drone of many colors
v1.03
- fixed a very strange bug: in cases where the queen doesn't spawn it gets created with the help of a blueprint
v1.02
- hotfix for v1.01: the heartbeat-event of love was firing even when the player wasn't in the fading love-area any longer...
v1.01
- the a fading love-episode has been experiencing problems with characters regenerating life points so that the on-player-dying-script isn't firing
Wow, this was even better than the first! The focus on puzzles rather than combat was a nice change, and even if the story was linear, it was engrossing enough that I couldn't stop. A work of art

Finished the mod, and once again it was amazing and creative. All minor flaws are overshadowed by its strengths. My only complaint is that now, regular modules will mostly be boring and uninteresting in comparison.

Found out what I was doing wrong, ignore my previous post.

It's great so far, but I seem to be having a problem with London showing up. His one liner floating text appears, but I can't see him. My guess is that I'm doing something wrong, or one of my mods is interfering with that particular NPC somehow.

What the hell is it with you people and NWN 1? It was great for it`s time. You want complexity, play tabletop DD. CRPG's require a little more than imagination to make, it`s harder to be original. Much harder. _________________________ Needles in the eyes!

This gets a high vote for the same reasons as the first. Sadly, while this installment is arguably of higher technical quality, IMO the "go to three places, get three things" structure is a little too reminiscent of the formulaic NWN1 campaign and detracts slightly from the overall quality. Sorry :(

Goes even more in-depth into the surrealist/dreamscape/insanity setting than the first installment did. Plays more with universal concepts and ideas as well. Some interesting twists, particularly at the end. The few technical issues (already posted about) don't mar the overall experience much. Very much look forward to seeing the end of this tragedy (tragicomedy?) trilogy.

Great module! It's very hard to compare it with the traditional NWN-ish staff, or even with surreal quests like Dark Seed and Sanitarium. It's more like Salvador Dali pictures came alive and adapted to a computer-gaming world. And the way you use the toolset... uh, it's completely unconventional in a good way, you are like Paganini or Liszt ? using your artistic instrument in a way nobody has ever done before. And you use it not just to show your player some tricks you've invented ? you actually involve all these tricks into your world, to great artistic effect. The only problem I see here is that this is a NWN2 module, and therefore your potential auditory here is very small ? many fans of classic RPG don't like surreal extravaganzas and many fans of surreal extravaganzas don't even know that this mod exists. Maybe it'd be a good idea to create a special site dedicated to Asylum and other unconventional mods in existence ? I'm pretty sure that if you search a little, you could find your brothers-in-arms, working on similar projects for HalfLife\Doom\Unreal\whatever else. I believe that the mere existence of this site would do a great job in explaining to a whole gaming community that modding ? it's about creativity, not about cloning the same schemes over and over again. More specific notes: somehow, I completely disliked the traits area. The whole symbolism here ? it's completely rational and visually bland, all traits looked the same, and the whole quest was a bit samey. And yes, I do agree with Ruaha's comment about the similarities between this module and Ayreon's rock-opera "The Human Equation". And of course it's ultra-essential stuff to listen ? Arjen Lucassen is a genius. By the way, the use of Russian religious music was great. I'm from Russia, so I can understand words, but I never felt that it's use was blasphemous or out-of-context, like those terribly out-of-placish russian chorals on Haggard's "Awakening the Centuries" album. And ? well, you're from Austria, right? So you could use some religious works by your great composers like Mozart or Haydn or Beethoven, but you chose Russian religious music instead, and I fill this was a right decision ? just wanted to thank you for your trust to its spiritual contents. Also, I've noticed a few small and completely unessential mistakes: 1.In a Madeleine's Skin description: "you cary it with you" instead of "you carRy it with you" 2.Inverse logics with SpeakStrings in Artists's Quarter: Vanilla says "Who loves us more ? Amber" BEFORE you completed the quest, and after ? she starts to say the same thing about Jade! Later, after you've completed all the three parts of the quests, she switches again to Amber, but if one starts with the Artists's Quarter's quest, he'll unavoidably notice this inverse logics. 3.It's possible to ask Jekyll about "OmeroJuliet" before he actually mentions the play in the dialog. And ? one small question: why that dragon-wizard continues to throw fireballs even if the curse is removed? Maybe it's some surreal trick, but I've completely missed the point... Maybe it'd be great to stress it somehow, just to show that no actual magics has happened and both of you ? hero and the wizard ? are completely mad... Anyway, good luck with the third part, and ? thanks for the trip!

I tried to play but was blocked after killing the first drone. So I gave up. I'm disapointed.

This module is wack... in a good way. :D Playing the module was an overall fun experience.
