Pure H&S, the puns are devastating and the encounters are often repetitive.Still not bad if you like H&S, challenging, bring your uber char.
I found that you had to use the pregenerated character supplied or the mod would not play right. I tried and could not get the Maximus sword to drop, stopping everything in its tracks!
Could not finish as unable to give bird solution to riddle..
Got to the Arena, Maximus didn't drop his sword, stopped right there! Frustrating, although playing Evil is really not my thing. Not sure how to even create a Blackguard, as the included PC did not show up in the Local or dmvault files after pasting in. Weird stuff.
I found the .bic file for the PC, (Sven Ta)Leen is his name. Only the Leen part showed as the bic file, when the whole name was what you need to look for in your Pregenerated characters list. Now the game plays properly, so you cannot really replace this guy with another, as I first tried to do. There is nothing so inherently wrong or evil with this adventure, as you pretty much whack baddies for various reasons. There is virtually NO gear to found or bought until you get some late in the game, essentially the Dark Lord's stuff. I felt that this made things tough early on, a bit more than necessary. I liked undertaking quests for a lady's honor, not so evil. I am now in the Castle of Light and just got killed with some Death Magic. Not sure this is supposed to happen, with the gear that I have on, but so be it. I will give it another try.
This was well put together, and even though I always play Chaotic Good solo fighters, this build was an interesting one. I ended up gaining levels in Fighter, so eventually I had many more than I had in Blackguard, and I didn't use any of the special feats and such that this imparts. This game will get you up towards Level 40 eventually! The town was a bit small and limited, and the Black smith was useless for the most part, unless you find some magic gem stones. then he can finally do something, but I only found one and all it got me was Massive Criticals on my Greatsword. Not a huge thing in my book. The little gal in the Inn was the best merchant in the game, just buying all your stuff that you cannot use and selling Heal Potions, which you do need in the beginning. Later on you accumulate so many you need to dump or sell them.
Try this out, it plays pretty well and all seemed to work. A whole lot of Hack n Slash, but no respawn, which was nice.
