Continue the Dark Waters campaign in this epic adventure that includes high seas adventure, buried treasure, psionics, and much more.
You will need Dark Waters 1 installed to play this game. If you already have a saved game from Dark Waters 1, the following is recommended:
* Load up your old saved game.
* Remove all gems from your items.
* Take all the equipment from your companions that you want.
* Export your character.
* Uninstall DW1
* Reinstall the latest version of DW1 and DW2.
* Start a new campaign with your exported character.
Let me open with this is an excellent module and absolutely must be tried by anyone who wants to experience something different. The story is awesome, it enhances NW2 in unexpected ways and it has voice acting! I also really like the duality of the characters and their parallel back stories. For those that do not already know this the game has a trading system, a pirate ship battle system, a Magic the Gathering type card game system, Psionics and more. While some of these did cause problems from time to time with bugs, overall I was pretty happy. Here are some drawbacks though. First of all bugs. Somehow the avid card player joined my party and followed me around doing nothing. On the pirate ship screen he would just be standing in the water trapped at port. I also wound up permanently polymorphed partway through the campaign. I looked the same, but I had that as an active spell on me. Finally I had multiple times where the ship mechanics broke and I could not buy any cargo, even though the ship was empty, or hire new crew. These mods detracted from the overall polish of the module, but did not affect my enjoyment very much. I am really looking forward to part three and already did the intro. The worst part about great games/modules like this is that I am always sad when I complete them because it means that it is over. I certainly wish that this was a 40-80 hour full campaign because it really deserves to be, though obviously I am happy with all that you have done for the community so far.

I should also mention I have no other mods or haks installed and I'm using v1.23 without any expansions

I have the same problem as Madoga. Every time I try to board a ship I spawn on the same screen as my ships and can't do anything. I'm going to withhold my vote until (hopefully) someone posts a fix

Well, the area transit into he city is fixed, still cant have a proper sea battle though.

great MOD and all, but im stuck and i have various bugs: 1. Each time i sea battle and get boarded instead of loading the boarding fight, it just spawns by 3 characters in the screen that the ships are allso in. It wont transit to the boarding map. 2. Each time i want to transit from the dock map into the actualy city the loading screen is stuck. (gonne try earlier posted solution) Though i dont know to what area its suppose to transit when you're gonne check on the elven girl (Vera??). This all heapened after i did the quest where they want to burn the girl. really annoying, and without a fix the mod is pretty much unplayable.

I figured out a fix for this, so nevermind. I spawned in the item using debug mode. Also, it seems you have to be on the opposite side of the bar as the bartender and make sure Heather is standing right next to you. _________________________ The NW2 toolset is a lot like crack: You know you shouldn't, and that you'll just hate yourself after, but there is something about clicking that button you just can't resist.

Very much enjoying the mod thus far, but a bit bummed about not being able to deliver the letter that Jack asked Heather to bring to the bartender. Is there a work around or fix for that one yet? Other then that, I have been having a blast! Thanks! _________________________ The NW2 toolset is a lot like crack: You know you shouldn't, and that you'll just hate yourself after, but there is something about clicking that button you just can't resist.

DW1 I wasn't to impressed with, but DW2 is very well done, the custom content is great, private card system (through improvements needed like: 1. Being able to see your opponent and what creatures he has out. 2. Card descriptions in the game it's self.) The high water pirate system is great( again some improvements needed: 1. Boarding ship like people say is a bit overwhelming and confusing. 2. Ship boxes that follow you on land? (thinking this might be bugging system). 3. The weapon attacks seem off should be base on crew numbers and members. 4. Cargo swapping with weapons I pick my ship and unload but system takes them off another ship not one selected.) I have yet to finish the game as I when on ship hunts to get money and came back to the story and can not enter woodhaven to get parrot or settle the fight, or elven love story it goes to a load screen an locks, trying to find out why but the problem is not know how the mod was build and there is a lot to go through. Reading other comments seems a lot of people are having problems with loading areas, wandering is some areas are not updating with the story because you forgot to do said thing here and went off and did something else and when you go back it causes loading problems. Seems people who stick to just the story it plays fine. Over all this is a great Mod and it hard to believe it was NWN2 toolset. Building a mod this big and with this much custom content is a feat in it's self. The voice acting isn't bad (some volume troubles as some voices are louder then others) The music is great The puzzles are up and down some are great others seem just there The story well still unsure as I may need to restart and try just the story (have yet to see full story) Bugs and glitches I didn't find many till I went back to the story after play cards and destroying ship for 2 days. Some script does run to fast to read, but bugs and glitches are part of games, why they come out with updates. Hopeful the bugs and glitches all get fixed this Mod is a Masterpiece of what game Mod should be and what you can do with toolsets if you have the time and understanding. This Mod should be in Hall of Fame and though I'm not one for 10's but under NWN2 voting standards this is a 10.
10 - A Masterpiece, Genuinely Groundbreaking 9 - Outstanding, a Must Have 8 - Excellent, Recommended to Anyone 7 - Very Good, Deserves a Look 6 - Good, Qualified Recommendation 5 - Fair, Solid yet Unremarkable 4 - Some Merit, Requires Improvements 3 - Poor Execution, Potential Unrealized 2 - Very Little Appeal 1 - Not Recommended to Anyone
