| Description | |
| This module is a continuation of the Official Campaign (OC) for Lawful and/or Good male characters interested in pursuing the Aribeth romance. Your character should have saved her at the end of the OC and believe that a fair trial will mean that she gets something other than the end of a noose - and, of course, he has some sort of romantic interest in her. HINT: It's not for everybody. Your chaotic neutral halfling thief will feel distinctly like a dork spouting half of this dialogue. | |

Since there were not so many "post-OC" modules this had to be a must try. Good module to further your lawful good character especially if you are a fan of the elven paladin.
The very verbose dialogues can be a little annoying playing the module a second time and the fact that the sentences are not placed for being properly clicked with your mouse you find yourself moving the pointer all the time in order to progress faster.
The mod is well balanced apart from the second encounter which I found a little bit hard but the encounters (at least in the church's basements) were a little bit repetitive.
Surely the mod was able to make me feel guilty everytime Aribeth was to be resurrected if she died in action...
On the contrary, sir, there are some post-OC modules: http://neverwintervault.org/article/reference/campaigns-and-module-serie...
Psst - shameless plugin :) I have some more to add for post-OC category.
And then sir I have to thank you in return. Really!
I can't count the number of evil characters I put aside in order to use them further. Some of them I put through the terribly difficult "A Hunt for a Necromancer": splendid mod but way too difficult for a non epic character.
As Deekin says when turned from stone to flesh near Ashtara:<<Thank you, thank you, thank you!>>.
I've played the module now and I found it to be more enjoyable and well-balanced than many others out there.
I may have found a bug though or perhaps I did something to disable a necessary trigger... I can't find the Dwarven heirloom halberd "Spike" or "Smike" or whatever it's called. I have looked everywhere but to no avail. Does anyone know how and/or where it can be found?
After you bear through trial and first few encounters it gets better and better.
- there are walls of text, followed by walls of text written in hard and official if not pompous tone. Typos all around as well(in conversation, if not prompted otherwise): "servent" - Lord Nasher; "canker"(should be cancer? I am not sure.) - Darene Fettian; "ought"(should be "nought"?) - Tulduil (trail conversation); "my L.ady"&"it is to hoped" - Aribeth; "siince" - Delinus mountor; "the"(should be "she") - aarin gend; Possibly many more typos and grammar errors, I advise to use NWNSpellchecker.
- one door in city core is openable but with no transition
- can't make stakes by smashing WOODEN doors, chests etc. on the 2nd level of basement
- vampire cultists attack gaseous forms..
- undead trolls ain't undead
- no black market to sell traps to
I fully agree with Werelynx, but would like to add that I find the story interesting. I would have hoped the trial to be conducted more like in the OC, where you had to find clues and convice the jury (I didn't look in the toolset if there were any conditional scripts, but often the dialogs have only one reply).
Anyway it's well-balanced and nice to play (even if your PC is not a paladin. Mine is not even Lawful Good [actually, I started the OC Neutral, but ended Neutral Good because of various subquests]), although some encounters were quite difficult.
If you'd like to know what happens to Aribeth, don't hesitate to try.
Must agree with the others, And I am an Aribeth fan. Top mod still.
Some walking, but great!
Re-playing this great series after a long time, and it's still one of my favorites!
Onwards to Chapter 2!
Played the series with a half-orc barbarian (CG) from the OC. :-) There seams to be no restiction. Well, taking the plot not too serious could be some extra fun ...
Regarding the plot and having extra fun... you can play a drinking game with it. Take a shot whenever someone says "Lord" or "Lady". No, wait, don't - you will die.
For statisticians: this module contains 453 "Lords", 400 "Ladies", including 78 "Lady Aribeth"s.
I enjoyed this a lot, it is a good way to continue the story of your character from the OC, and of course, I love Aribeth - don't we all?
