So this is A Dance with Rogues 2.0,
- aka Eye Candy Edition,
- aka Extended Edition,
- aka Big Sister Edition,
- aka Second Life Edition,
- aka Enhanced Edition.
Basically the outcome of ten years of playing around with the toolset (on and off). This really picked up steam in spring 2020 due to me having a bit more time to dedictate to this. Also, in summer 2020 I (finally) got a new computer which is now able to run the Enhanced Edition of Neverwinter Nights, so I wanted to make sure the module was still going to be playable under this new version of NWN.
The module should be compatible both with the NWN 1.69 as well as the NWN Enhanced Edition (patch 81.8193.28 at the time of uploading).
The module features a whole bunch of the wonderful custom content created by the NWN community. I loved the elements I have included in the module, be it the tilesets, models, placeables, animations, ...
I have tried to maintain a credits file to give credits where credits are due. Please let me know in case you spot some of your work in the module and I forgot to mention you, and I will adjust. The only intellectual property I can claim is the module file itself.
The original description of the module still remains largely valid, with two exceptions: 1) The hak pack "ACAG" is now actually a series of files, and can be found directly on this page. You need these hak packs to run the module; and 2) The minimum dex requirement for a new character is now 12 instead of 14, to give character creation of bit more flexibility.
To run the module, download and extract:
1. The "mod" file into NWN\modules (1.69) or \Documents\Neverwinter Nights\modules (Enhanced Edition). For starting a new game I highly recommend version 2.20 of the module.
2. The "hak" files into NWN\HAK (1.69) or \Documents\Neverwinter Nights\hak (Enhanced Edition)
Optionally, in case you wish to deactivate the food / drink / rest system, you will need to download the alternative acag109_patch_nofood.zip file. The included hak should overwrite the file with the same filename from 2. above in NWN\HAK (1.69) or \Documents\Neverwinter Nights\hak (Enhanced Edition).
The module has a somewhat "possessive" and temperamental nature and doesn't react well to add-ons, mods, different versions of the haks, or overwrites. It works best if your overwrite folder is completely empty and you only have the module's hak files in your hak folder.
I had a lot of fun putting this together, and playing this version in the last couple of months. If you don't, simply stop. If you do, that's all the reward I ever wanted...

Files:
Spoilers!
Quinn should be your first choice, if you have completed "Risky Business".
If you haven't, the Family will have to do all the research. Check with Alfons every calendar day until they have figured out what to do next.
I think it was Quinn in the HQ, he was hostile.
Just finished and I am mixed on how it is.
1. Great mood with the toolset. The castle looks like a castle and the city looks like a cramped city.
2. The castle crossing adventure was not satisfying. Did I miss anything?
3. When my equipment is taken, have it returned at some point. Weapons were lost forever in Castle crossing and everything was lost in bank robber.
4. A couple of more clues are needed.
5. Some bugs
a. hostile dating Artur
b. hostile Quin
c. Keno is immortal. I ran away and the qquest was not finished.
6. please place a sewer link near the hideout.
a suggestion:
you might make the guy freed during the mayor quest to be a missing person also.
It seems I missed several quests. A hint document would be nice.
Spoiler:
Another possible bug. Terrek is immortal in the final encounter with him. Our only choice is to leave. And that is part of why it is not satisfying.
SPOILER: There's another (perhaps better) solution where you don't have kill Terek (yourself). Not easy to get that solution however.
Now I really want an update to part 2! And that will take something. A lot of the quests needed to be changed for the last 10 years!
I've uploaded a new hotfix "ADWRHF20201230" / "ADWRHF20201230_NoFood" which, in addition to the previous fixes, should also address the problem with Arto-In-Disguise, Quin, Claile and Claile's Golem potentially spawning hostile.
Many thanks for this fix !
*** Minor spoiler ***
There are still some other small bugs to fix, see above my post (hostile Dhorn guard in front of the jail entrance) and the problem signaled by KatsaShadowstep with the questline "A kingdom of Shadows" (Boris is still alive when you return to his home with the book, is invulnerable and there is no ring on the body of the assassin... ; you can kill Boris using the console and complete the quest by giving or selling the book, but you miss a part of the investigation...).

Thank you again for this amazing work !
Thx for your continued support.
Any chance that you could tackle my issue?
"Ran into a glitch in lesson 4, for some reason Joanna's son never spawned for me. Maybe it's because I explored the inn before getting this quest?
Also, when I speak with Caron I have the option to tell him how this lesson went, despite being unable to proceed. Is there a console command which I can force Joanna's son to appear and trigger the rest of the quest?"
two things I really like, the improvements to the house of beauty and the outfits. They look so much better.
How do I start the Boris quest?
I got the receipt and Boris just tells me to go away.
You need two other items. One is not far away and the other one looks like the first one.
if it is the cloak (s), then it still does not fire the quest.
The items start with an 'r' and they are of black and red color. If you have these items you should be able to ask Boris about them.
If you return with what B. has asked you to do the quest looks somewhat broken but it doesn't really matter - ignore B. (you can safely consider him dead) and go home.
A couple of minor things should be fixed.
1. I still cannot open the desk in the academy, and it is not destroyable either. Please move it.
2. If you sleep with Pia in the inn in Castle Crossing, she still refers to leaving the village and searching the mountains.
Spoilers:
I must be missing something in the Castle Crossing quest.
What I have is:
1. 'secret' Dhorn documents. Killing or not seems to make no difference.
2. seen the illicit tryst between Terek and Cali?
3. Castias doesn't seem to want to do anything. Seems that he is always dead when I come back
4. Terek is immortal.
5. The crypt has a big pool of blood. but nothing seems to come of it.
6. There is a big party on the dining floor that I can't interact with. Unlocking the door causes a bunch of people to be killed.
7. Timin doesn't believe his wife is unfaithful.
Is there a clue I missed?
The party is not a party. Talking to the dhorn emissary should reveal the nature of that "party".
You can ask the guard upstairs about the blood.
Once Castias is dead talk to the emissary. Make him believe you could have convinced Castias to hand over the castle.
Hey everyone. Can someone help me with my issue?
Ran into a glitch in lesson 4, for some reason Joanna's son never spawned for me. Maybe it's because I explored the inn before getting this quest?
Also, when I speak with Caron I have the option to tell him how this lesson went, despite being unable to proceed. Is there a console command which I can force Joanna's son to appear and trigger the rest of the quest?
Unfortunately I'm unable to proceed with the game because of it.
Joanna's son spawns outside the inn, to the north of it. In previous editions, it was across the street. I explored the inn before doing the quest so that is not it.
Hello dekarbr, in DebugMode, try:
dm_setvarint Joannatalk 2 (and click on your character)
dm_setvarint Piawalking 0 (and click on your character)
then re-enter Old Town, and Lenton should be just north of the inn next to the two barrels.
I have a problem with the desk in the Academy where, I presume, is the note with the student's address to move on with the Missing Pia quest. So maybe a debug command that you can recommend?
I had the same problem. You will need to go to 17 River Road and go to the 1st floor (2nd for Americans). Activate the debugger, then move thru the door. It will proceed as before. Be careful. You will want to save. If you mess up, Dan will not talk to you anymore.
Thanks, an interesting way to solve it - didn't want to debug through the door in the Academy and skip the whole Dan plot.
Mmmh... Maybe I"m wrong, but I think the note is in a barrel, not on the desk.
the transcript has his address and is in the desk. The "sneak upstairs to see the teacher" note is in the barrel. Without the transcript, Dan's mother will not open the door.
Sorry, my mistake.
Just finished my 2nd playthrough. Great stuff. Desparately waiting part a new part 2. It would be very different than the original.
A couple of minor things.
Spoilers:
1. I must be missing something for the Kena tower quest. Kena attacks me and she is immortal. I run away and Desser still says good luck.
2. Anden outside the hunting lodge talks about sneaking into a clerk's home andkilling his betrothed. Did I miss something?
3. Betancura castle princess's bedroom has 2 gifts from embassador. One fits, the other not. I suspect one should be removed.
4. The Home quest does not update and complete.
I have uploaded version 2.01 of the module, which contains fixes to many glitches that were reported in the last few weeks. Plus a very minor update to Simon's House.
Please note that unlike the hotfixes, these changes will only noticable when starting a new game using version 2.01 of the module.
I still recommend to use the hotfixes when playing this version. For one, the graphical problem with the blood effects looking weird can only be fixed this way. Also, the "no_food" version is needed if you want to deactivate the food/drink/fatigue system.
A BIG Thank You to everyone who has reported bugs and issues!!!
Many thanks for your continued support and hard work.
Are the changes that @Vivienne mentioned in her post included or do I need to use adwrhak3.zip?
I highly recommend using the files in adwrhak3.zip, as these are the ones I've tested.
The hak files haven't changed in this update, by the way. If you want to play the updated 2.01 version, you only need to download the new mod file.
I will use the hak you suggested. Many thanks for your speedy response - very much appreciated.
Hey nice work but i have a Question could you upload a text file from your Changes across from the Original Version. I played through your Version but i think i missed a lot :)
Also i know this is a delicate Question but did you think about including more Content on the Sexual Side and apart from that do you have any Plans to include the Part 2 Module into yours or maybe make your own "Part2" ?
And thx for again for your hard work
I honestly don't remember all the changes that were made in the last ten years... You know, a lot of new stuff went in, sometimes (usually) I didn't like it, and changed it again whenever I felt like until 2.0 was at some point the outcome.
From my perspective the module in its current form has an okay balance between naughty and nice bits. But you never know...
Thank You
Thank you very much, Thank you very much. It's the most wonderful anything anyone's done for me!
When I leave the school after killing all the gladiators in the Uncover The Dhorn Spies quest, I get teleported to the Bear Pit but Vico is still in my party and the dialog that fires with Nathan is the standard curtsy/greetings dialog. The journal doesn't update, it still just says I've found the spy's body and need to report to Nathan.
Playing the first version of the mod with hot fixes. Any idea how to proceed? Loving the overhaul so far!
I've got a small issue with this version of ADwR.
Mild spoiler for Lesson 2!:
In previous editions of ADwR there was a sexy solution for evading Taka's blows. If you got nude, Taka got a massive debuff which made it easier to pass this part of the combat training.
The dialog with Hatori still hints this option. But if your princess gets nude the debuff of Taka never happens.
Is this a bug? Or does the debuff still happen for some players?
The problem is that you're actually not really "nude" even if you strip your armor. That's why your 'cheat' does not work.
Did not know until now about this cheat. Thanks for mentioning it.
I have been playing this on and off since about 2010 and had no idea! Surprising, but also perfectly on brand. :D
The updated version is great so far!
Minor Spoiler Question: How far does the Kingdom of Shadows quest go? Should the book be sold to Jacia, or does the quest continue if you hold onto it?
This is the best rogue module I've ever played!!
Hi there,
can someone tell me, where to put this hotfix file?
I created the folder "Neverwinter Nights\data\hk", but nothing changed (blood is still a rectangel etc.).
Putting it in the hak folder would overwrite a hak file.
edit: I play on NWNEE
Just let it overwrite the older hak file in the 'hak' folder so the fixes can be applied. You can backup the older hak file just in case if you think something will get messed up, but the newer hak file contains all the old stuff plus the fixes.
Thx for your quick answer
Do you use the steam version of NWN EE?
Custom Haks and modules for NWN EE are not stored under steamLibrary/steamapps/common/Neverwinter Nights!
But they are stored under "documents/Neverwinter Nights" or "mydocuments/Neverwinter Nights".
Hey I put the hak and module folders into Documents/Neverwinter Nights like Niemroth said (I have Steam version), but when I fired up the mod and clicked on create new character, the game gave me an "Insufficient hard drive space" error and then froze up on me. I have plenty of hard drive space. I remember encountering this error once before with NWN:EE but I don't remember how it got fixed, actually I think it just went away after a time. Anyone know what might cause this error? This is probably my favorite RPG of all time, it's killing me I can't play this new update.
EDIT - found the problem - should have read the instructions more carefully. Reading comprehension helps, kids. Only able to play a little so far but the mod looks great.
It's working on the old version as well. I mean the Neverwinter Nights Diamond Edition aka version 1.69. :)
Hallo, I have trouble in Lesson 3. I am in sewers, try to "overwatch" the secret meeting between mysterious stranger and Dhorn officer. My character is stuck in scene,but nothing (as scene or dialogs) happens and my game is completly broken (hard exit via CTR-ALT-DEL). Is there anything I can do to process? Because without this scene it is imposible to complete Dhorn Spies quest . Is there something in scene settings with camera or ...? I play Neverwinter Nights Diamond Edition aka version 1.69 with no food patch.
I had same experience, thought my machine had seized but it's just the camera angle is wrong. Step away for a minute or two then come back and you're out of the movie type scene.
