===========
DESCRIPTION ===========
One man seeks to make the Dalelands his. Will you be the one to stop him?
Set in the Dalelands region of the Forgotten Realms, Trinity is a party-based, single-player, stand-alone adventure inspired by classic PnP gameplay. For levels 6 to 8, with up to 7 hours of playing time (or more!).
The story takes place in 1375 DR, in the same general period as the NWN2 official campaigns. It is partly inspired by Ed Greenwood�s PnP module called �Into the Forgotten Realms� (published in Dragon Magazine #85, 1985).
============
REQUIREMENTS ============
+NWN2 patched up to version 1.23 +Mask of the Betrayer
+NOT Required: Storm of Zehir
============
KEY FEATURES ============
+Story-driven adventure with role-playing focussed on making choices that matter and have an actual impact on gameplay and story.
+Several possible endings, story-linked sidequests and encounters that do not always have to end in combat (but most CAN if you wish).
+Suitable for characters of any race and class (level 6 to 8 recommended).
+Up to 7+ hours of gameplay (some even took 12 hours, not counting pauses or reloads!).
+Four companions, for a complete 5-member adventuring party. Each have their own personalities and motivations, and provide full-party situational banter throughout the module.
+Tons of community-made and module-exclusive custom content, including creatures by Jonny Ree and tilesets by Robinson Workshop.
+Non-standard soundtrack.
+Varied skill checks with XP rewards, in and out of dialogue.
+Realistic secret doors and hidden objects.
+For hardcore players only: limited but flexible resting system.
+Compatible with Kaedrin's PRC pack.
+Text thoroughly spell checked.

THE STORY =========
The adventure in Trinity begins as you stand before the Lord of Shadowdale. Lord Falconhand, acting on behalf of the Dalelands Council, selected you to lead a party of adventurers on a mission to stop one would-be tyrant from succeeding where another one failed twenty years before. Setting off from the Twisted Tower of Shadowdale by the Ashaba river, you will be taken to a section of the old elven forest of Cormanthor near the ruins of fabled Myth Drannor. From there, you will plunge deep underground into one of the area�s abandoned schools of wizardry on a hunt for magic, and a chase for one man.

IS THIS MOD FOR YOU? MORE THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE DOWNLOADING
==========================================
I designed and developped Trinity in accordance with what was important to me. Before downloading, you should be aware of the following:
NOT FEATURED in the mod:
+Romances and companion influence system.
+Set good and evil �paths�. All situations are handled individually and there are opportunities to be a �goodie-two-shoes� as much as a "bastard/bitch�, and places in between.
+Banter-style roleplaying/Flavor dialogue options: player dialogue options are instead focussed on making choices that matter, uncovering the story, lore, setting and quests, and gathering information. Most dialogue options have been kept deliberately terse to allow players to �voice� their characters themselves and streamline gameplay.
+Alignment shifts.
+Crafting.
+Voiceovers.
+Cultural, social, or historical speech. All dialogues are written in contemporary North-American English, while avoiding blatant anachronisms.
+SoZ-style party conversations, overland map or "permanent" death.
+Freeform �sandbox-style� gameplay.
IN ADDITION:
+The mod can feel "story/lore/setting-heavy" if you choose to read all the dialogue options that are presented to you (especially in the beginning). However, you won't miss out on any aspect of the main quest line or on many of the sidequests if you choose not to read everything.
+It is STRONGLY recommended to keep all four starting companions with you at all times. The mod was designed with them in mind.
