16 Cygni I is the first part of a bilingual French/English story driven single player campaign. It is a blend of Sci Fi and heroic fantasy. Expect even more surprises in the 2nd part ...
The player chooses the language at the very beginning of the first conversation.
As 16 Cygni I is currently very well rated, I have been advised to submit it as an English module too. The translation has been rated fair and even well done.
By the author of the also appreciated campaign "A Slave Destiny" (French only, quests log and walkthrough available in English).
Important : The campaign has been designed with MotB and SoZ installed.
WARNING : Adult Content. Patch level 1.23.
Young Lieutenant Junior Grade, you are a new crew member of the Epsilon Eridiani, a frigate class exploration ship, heading toward the 16 Cygni triple star system, about 70 light years from the Solar system. State of the Art vessel, the Epsilon Eridani is one of the first ship of the Fleet manned by a multi racial crew. As a matter of fact the ship belongs to the Orion's Arm Fleet, an organisation which groups different races living relatively close to the Solar system on the Milky Way's spiral arm named Orion's Arm. Around 16 Cygni B, one of the two Sun like yellow dwarves of the system 16 Cygni, orbits a giant planet, 16 Cygni Bb. One of the 16 Cygni Bb moons, of the size of the Earth, might have got an atmosphere and water, hence might support life..
Some of the 16 Cygni features :
* Influence system : Contrary to NWN2, the influence modifications are not displayed. You will get a status from time to time.
* You will be given the opportunity to choose the class and the race of your first companion among a wide range of choices! Contrary to SoZ, your teammate will get a personality. It is initialised at creation time, sometimes randomly depending on the class and the race combination. You will get a more limited choice for the other companions in order to fit the story, with sometimes a slight random distortion. Choose wisely your first companion as s/he will be with you almost all the time. You will be granted a backup opportunity before choosing.
* Social skills : Except for specific cases, the highest level of all the party members is automatically taken into account. So your barbarian going along with a pretty bard will automatically become a skilled diplomat ...
* Crafting : Again the highest skill level of the party is taken into account. Just try to combine two objects in a workshop. Learn from the inhabitants or experiment by yourself. Armor creation is less used in the first part, however ... Magic objects creation is not used.
* Romances, infiltration quests and bonuses of XP based on performance.
* Debug scripts included, to quiclky help a player running into a blocking situation. So far only one known situation which might affect a low percentage of players, read here in case : Link
More details and installation instructions in the presentation file.
*NEW* Journal's improved English translation by She-Wolf (Dec 4, 2011)
*NEW* Update 1.04 (Nov 1, 2011)
* Companions can be multi classed now.
* Your teammate alignment is now randomised.
* English translation revision by ralebeau (Huge thanks to him)
* Several minor bugs corrected.
* Campaign folder is now totally compatible for all 3 Parts. It the same for all Parts.
To totally benefit from the new version, please reinstall the campagne folder et the modules archives of each 3 Parts.
Update 1.01 (Sept 12th, 2010)
* Fixed the bug in the Ondolisse Morne which prevented a convo to fire, had the player read the riddle before using the control box.
* Fixed blueprints : it is now possible to choose a gray orc medic as your teammate.
* Reduced likelihood of convo not firing, safeties added (finding of a clue in Canas Eryn, painting in Tinwerontar, examination at the Narag-zaram...)
* Quest log now includes 16 Cygni 2 quests.
* Quest log more clearly states the end of the Part 1.
* Gaining influence with a neutral teammate made less difficult. Activated from your current position.
* Some typos corrections.
* The special file to start the campaign without MoTB is no more needed. However it is very unlikely that the campaign could be played without MoTB. Without SoZ, I don't know.
* 16 Cygni 2 is available (int'l section) : Link *NEW* 16 Cygni 3 is available (int'l section) : Link
Enjoy!

Do not blame yourself ralebeau, you did an outstanding job revising the translation of all dialogs. I don't know if Reildan played with the last version. Anyway he stated it as a minor annoyance.

@Reildan, Hope yours was not the new update Claudius33 posted 10/31 11/1. I get all the blame for any bad english translation in the new ones.
Posted by Reildan at on11/07/11
Game ran smoothly. Storyline is solid and original. Lots of sex, nude and partially nude bodies to look at (if you are into such). Minor annoyances. Typos, bad translation, a bit vague in some quests, and some longish lags during chat. The reputation bits didn't make sense.

Considering the dearth of decent NWN2 modules this series is a must-have, indeed.

Thank you very much for your appreciations and your votes ursine and ralebeau. Xbows? Sounds like a nice idea. However to remove the metal bow is beyond my skills. I am totally unable to do 3D modelling.
Posted by ralebeau at on09/13/11
A really outstanding campaign and a great start for the trio. I was worried about the NWN2 textures as spaceships for just a little while but once groundside and back in time everthing was looking simply amazing. Story and companion interactions are the parts I enjoy most, leaving me involved and caring about 16 Cygni very quickly indeed with masterful storytelling easily overcomming the English translation slowdowns. Also happy to be late to start this one since the other two parts are ready and so few bugs left in this one. Thanks for all hard work and inspiration that went into each of these!

when playing all 3 parts, plain awesome! Probably my favorite mod. SoT is essentially equally good but doesn't come with a proper ending which makes this one the best yet. Very long, interesting story an npc:s. New and fresh setting. Intelligent plot. What I lacked the most was probably a good loathsome villian. Also some of the sci-fi workes so-so. Especially the turrets and dragon for planes models which simply did not do it for me. Still a solid 10. Idea for firearms: maybe the model for xbows could be used? Just remove the metal bow and keep the rest. Rifles and crossbows are actually quite alike when it comes to aiming and firing.

Thanks ursine. There a 'Stuck ion the mod' link available bottom of the mod's description. I just extracted the corresponding hint : [Minor spoiler] What about following the road signs from Tinwerontar? Enjoy!

Don't understand why there is so much complaining about the english. Sure there are some funny mistakes here and there but most of it is quite fine and suggest some ironic brittish(french?) humour. Like how the pc continues to say things like "I'd say!" Cracks me up. :p I'm euro too and i could understand everything just fine. I'll return with some more feedback when I'm done, if i can find ondorlisse...
