The Southern Alliance plans to use the immortal girl as an ultimate assassin.
Ordered to hide her identity even from her townspeople, forbidden to contact anyone she used to know, the girl is sent to a military outpost, soon to go into battle. While some of the soldiers fear for her wellbeing, treating her as a fragile child, others openly mock her skill in combat.
But the girl is not as alone as everyone believes - perhaps not even as alone as she would wish to be...
V2.00
^ This is the version of the module uploaded here. When making new updates, I am more likely to publish on the OLD Vault first, so you might want to check there for a more recent version. Also, if something is wrong with the download here (like, if I didn't upload the correct files), you might want to try the old vault, if it's alive at the time. http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Modules.Detail&id=6392
Bug reports are still welcome.
It is recommended to:
- Have the game patched and updated to v 1.69.
- Play with an empty "override" folder.
- Save often and in different slots.
- Consult the walkthrough when you reach Garden Five, if you are not a fan of mazes and riddles. And also before that, if things get too tough at the 3 levers.
- If you can't find a way to help your companion before leaving Garden Five, consult the walkthrough (assuming you want her as a companion). This isn't only for beta. The choices in this series are not always clear. Sometimes you think you are doing something good, and you actually aren't.
- Be specific when reporting a bug. Say what you were doing when something strange happened, or if something doesn't work, say what you tried to do with it (to avoid misunderstandings).
This is the second module in the Demonheart series. Playing the Prelude is required first.
You should import the character that finished the prelude into this module.
- Characters should not be exported manually from any Demonheart modules, because special scripts need to run in order to save game variables on a character. These scripts are connected to the ending conversation files in the last area of each module.
The Label
- Don't expect what's not on the label.
- When I was writing the ReadMe, I tried to prepare the player for ALL the Demonheart modules. Parts of the ReadMe might become outdated as I finish the other modules, and I will update it when I have more certainty of how things are going to be.
Hack&Slash: Medium. -- It's not enough for those who play for fights and not little enough for those who hate fights. Actually, if you're playing for the fights, go away - you'll totally miss the point of my efforts. In this module, you have a companion who is much stronger than you, so yes, your character can't do much, but I tried to make it so that your efforts matter. Also, I am a GIRL [*shouts irritatingly*], so don't expect damned tactics. (I know some women are good at it, but I prefer romances.) Use a crossbow or something. And a sling - bludgeoning damage for the pigs who don't take slashing damage.
Rogue types usually find it more difficult to deal with the enemies here, and maybe I've disturbed the usual game balance by putting in some difficult encounters, but I was trying to make it look more realistic. (If someone theatrically leaves you in a place full of enemies to die, it makes little sense for you to single handedly defeat everything, right?)
Roleplaying: Heavy. -- You can say different things and make some choices that will be saved for the next module. The way you interacted with the main characters (mostly companions) will also be saved. The story still needs to move in the direction needed to reach Chapter 2, so there is railroading. (You are free to make your own module: "Where the DH girl went after she smashed that b***ard's head in". I don't mind alternate stories, but my time is limited.) What I consider to be the most important choices in DH (all chapters) is how you pick your allies and what kind of relationship you have with them.
Tricks&Traps: Medium. -- In Chapter 1, there is a "difficult" mathematical riddle that my friends complained about, so I made it slightly easier. There are several other word/knowledge riddles and at least a few of them absolutely need to be answered. The answers are in the walkthrough. Also, I consider one fight to be a "trick", because you have a more effective way to defeat the enemy than attacking, but that's up to you.
WARNING: This module contains Adult/Extreme content . Don't play Demonheart if you are young and uncorrupted. Don't let your children play it. Don't play if you are allergic to sexual abuse in fiction.
To play v2.00 you need only the NEW files from the list below. Custom content files are now on the Prelude's page; those are needed, too.
You also need CEP 2.3 / 2.4.

Very enjoyable module, great freedom on how make your character react, nice story. It would have been better a little longer.
Hi Lamb,, loved it,,, waiting for the enxt bit eagerly
Can't wait to play this! But I am getting a "missing custom talk table" error when I try to load it. The prelude worked fine. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Make sure that the required .tlk file listed above is in your tlk folder.
There may have been some confusion with different versions of the .tlk file required. I see there were two of them uploaded on the two modules.
I'm updating the modules to v2.00 here. The correct files should be here now.
My mind has been nagging me for quite a while now.
Because I'm not knowledgeable about how the modules are made, this is still in my list of "may-not-even-do-it", but in case I DO do it, would it be alright if I create the story for the King's Road (I think it was called)?
Even if I do get your permission to, there's stuff we need to consider:
1: I don't know a thing about Neverwinter Nights, I played this Module before the Main Campaigns merely a few days ago.
2: Because I don't know about the game's world (Seriously, I don't. I only played Baldur's Gate 1 - 2 so far), I don't know what you may find on the way to the protagonist's destination, or even why she is heading north.
3: I haven't decided whether this is more combat based or a more social drama approach like it is DemonHeart.
4: I'm battling a death-match against the CEP installation because... reasons (NOOB!).
5: My mind might get bored of the idea and move on, though I don't want that to happen anytime soon, which is why I better start learning about how to create the world that I'm imagining in this very moment.
6: I'll try to have a story BEFORE even confirming anything about creating its respective module(s).
7: I don't know how long that will take.
Nice little mod
[Missclick. I can't delete my comment.]
This might be the only negative review so far, but I honestly lost interest in this module really quickly. Not because I found any of the adult themes to be too disturbing. Usually I can't get enough of that. What got to me was how tedious and drawn out the prelude was and how long it took for the game to stop railroading me and let me actually play the class I chose. And even after all that time, I realise in the first fight that the game still doesn't let me play my character. What is the actual point of saddling the player with a beefed-up sidekick literally 3 levels higher and with access to proper armor? Am I supposed to just walk behind him and continue to not play the character I have been eager to play? Also, the whole immortality deal just serves to make death totally meaningless. Especially so when I realised that even my beefed up companion was immortal too, for no given reason. The mobs actually killed him a few rounds after they got to me. I rose at near death, 1 HP, and the knight rose at badly wounded.
This was the moment where I just closed down the game without even bothering to drop a save. I came to this module after having played a Dance with Rogues and I saw someone had recommended this module as well. I was hoping I would get a similar feeling of literally starting at level 1 and having to be cautious in order to survive, but here I can literally let myself and my supposedly 'mortal' companion die over and over and over and over right in front of hostile mobs who are actively trying to stop us but somehow wander off aimlessly after each win.
I know this module could probably redeem itself if I pushed on past that point, but I can't. My immersion was completely shattered at the first taste of combat. I feared I would be forever saddled with overpowered companions who were meant to do the heavy lifting for me no matter how far I progressed and there would never be any feeling of danger.
After posting this comment and doing a quick google search I did come up with a link that tells me this game is being turned into a visual novel:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=692729126
Frankly I think this is the correct medium given the brief taste of combat (or lack of same) I experienced. NWN was made to be playable as a single character without relying on cohorts and I think the original vision of the story is the exact opposite: a common girl who got in over her head, lacks any combat training and gets saddled with an evil knight who is far superior. I may have another crack at the module but I think the visual novel is going to turn out superior in the end.

Landon Watson, I cannot make an account on the website you made your post, but if Hellen was a Night Elf Druid, then you and I need to have a talk. I don't know if this post will reach you, so I will repost this somewhere else too.
So far, it's been on these websites.

PS: I am sorry I am doing this on this post, but people who I cherished dearly long ago are looking for me.
@NWNForever Having the same problem with EE. A friend reports this happening about 30% of the time on the EE PC version. For some reason, it works on my PC, but when I save the game in the military camp, then try to load on Android, it crashes to desktop every time.
A bit difficult to play, I would have to say. You get stripped a few times and your relationships do not last, for the most part! Very low quality loot and equipment for the most part, which I do not like at all! I am stuck in the town with really nowhere to go and nothing to do, and no instruction forward, after helping the Cult. I will probably quit now.
It just seems...lame. The railtoading. The horror! (of the railroading and being a tag-along more or less) It's more of a you choose the story kind of mod. In a way. A non-fun way. I'm sure it will make a fine anime, however.
Great RP module. A bit strong on language, but there was a fair warning beforehand :D Not quite my taste but still a good play
It's been a while that I played through this series, but somehow I never left a review. Demonheart is clearly a pure roleplaying module, so I'm voting based on that criterion alone, not encounter design - although that's not to say there weren't soe interesting challenges and riddles in there too. In fact, no other module has ever quite captured the feeling of a near-helpless low-level PC having to use guile to evade almost any enemy quite so well, and that is a feat in itself in a computer game mainly designed for H&S gameplay. I found the characters thoroughly engaging, especially the two witches, whose intrigues around the protagonist reminded me a lot of the mysterious atmosphere of Witch's Wake. The self-declared "bad boys" were interesting too, and quite multifaceted characters in their own right rather than the mere fantasy wish fufillment you come to expect from that archetype. I adored the general low-magic verisimilitude and moral complexity of the setting - think WFRP or ASOIAF rather than FR. All the bodice-ripper sex somewhat distractes from the generally mature and nuanced story, but nowhere near as much as in ADWR since here it is at least played straight rather than for laughs.
I have just tried to install this mod, and now all my texts are missing from all versions of NWN.
I consider this mod dangerous malware.
@Blauz that's very strange, because there's nothing to install for Chapter 1 except a module file and some music, neither of which should have any impact on the OC or its tlk (text). Looking at the installation instructions, you should
If you back out what you did, does the OC work correctly again?
You mention "all versions of NWN". How many versions have you got?
EDIT - I see you have made the same comment on the Prelude and Chapter 2, which have a more complicated collection of files.
However, my two questions still apply.
Assuming all works well after backing out the changes, you could use NIT (available here on the Vault) to do a clean install, or refer to this guide:

I am running the newest version, I have the latest CEP, and I had all mods in the subfolder.
But no matter what mod, game part or add-on I was running, all my written texts were blanks.
including, but not exclussively, the loading screens.
I am re-installing the game, and it runs again.
I have no idea what has caused this other than it was one of the parts that I have downloaded and filed for Demonheart.
That means in my take: something here, either the mods or the haks or whatnot, shot my complete setup.
Bugs are one thing: when things do not work; or when there is a loading error or an incomplete file list (missing tlks mostly): they do not wreck the other mods. This is more than that, and I think people need a warning.
