| Description | |
| "In this adventure, the characters come across an ancient wizard's tower. The nearby keep has been reduced to rubble over the ages, but the tower is in perfect condition. It is surrounded by an impenetrable force field that cannot be breached--not even by the ghost of the long-dead wizard, who has been trapped within for centuries. Surely there must be great treasure within this magical abode. But how to get to it?" This is a fun P&P module that I've translated as accurately as possible with the toolset and my limited scripting knowledge. The module starts you outside the ruins, and though it was recommended to me that I put in a starting town nearby, I didn't want to change anything from the original. For fair balance, enter the game with only one or two +1 items and nothing else magical (this will make your finds more rewarding). Also, bring some healing along (portable or a cleric), because there wasn't any in the original so I didn't add it in. I also highly recommend you have someone in the party with a HIGH search skill. If soloing, play at level 5 or 6, have a high search skill, and bring your own healing. This is my first entry on the Vault. I hope you enjoy it and have fun! Note: If you want the original experience without anything added in by me, download the "TheMysteriousTower" file. If you want a slightly adjusted for NWN version with some adjustments added by me (including an opening town with shop, story set-up, slightly more reasonable DC's, and an ending comment), download "The_Mysterious_Tower_v3_Revised" file. | |

I remember this from the old vault.
When I downloaded this mod originally, it had a rating of 10...after playing it, I was surprised at the incredible rating, then I came back and saw who posted it. Makes sense now.
Pretty good Search and allied stats, still no seeming way into the tower. Tried all the holes and trapdoors and none ended up in the Tower. I give up.
Not a great experience here for me with this one.
CONS:
* Some areas have map transitions, some dont.
*endlessley confusing array, of secret doors, traps, barriers, force fields, levers, pullies, pitfalls, etc etc etc.
* No quest jounral entries.
* found a treasure room (maybe it was THE treasure room), nothing great, piles of gold, trinkets, and +1 gear.
* Not sure if I finished the mod or not, again no journal entries.
* Broken scripting -- A magic mouth script doesnt work, and all you get in the interaction is notice in chat that the script is broken. Not sure if this was important to the plot or whatever.
* A rust monster, destroyed my sword and shield.
This one had some potential, but no quest journal along with the confusing secret doors and barriers makes it anything but fun. I gave up on this one, and from reading other reviews, I wasnt the only one.
