Journal entries had vague direction, but the Illithid lair was worth it.
This is great, gotta be careful what you do, though.
Started out decently well, but had really weird pacing and inconsistent writing. Furthermore, faction quests are buggy and cannot be completed fully. Combat encounters are also underwhelming, having to fight standard groups of kobolds, spiders, humans for the sake of having fights. Fights against humans are particularly unbalanced with them having extremely high AB, AC and attacks per round.
Attempts of building up suspense to the mystery was done through books and self-reflection dialogues, but was done poorly. Character building for NPCs is mediocre, in that it is difficult to feel attached to any NPC, even major ones, plus there are no companions.
This was better than your run of the mill module as it did have several areas and multiple quests. Read the Hints document for the correct order in which to do some of these. For some reason I got hit with a faction bug well into this one, and I then just quit. I had done about 8 mini-quests by then and it seemed like it was time to pull the plug! Still, not a bad effort.
