| Description | |
| This is an UPDATE of the module X2-Castle Amber by Crazykane. It's a beginner's attempt at recreating the famous Castle Amber module. The end fight is now... more balanced! (The module uses wandering monsters from HC ruleset, just a disclaimer, no HAK pack necessary) | |

It was simple, doesn't have a true ending, but worth a play nevertheless.
Pretty basic conversion, due to the fact (IMO only) the mod creator just didnt polish it up a bit. Definitely not due to lack of ability why this module does not shine. It is fairly short, plagued by typos, a quest journal that didnt work (for me), poorly scripted NPC's (finish a quest? NPC still talking about it as if not finished), poor henchmen interface, when you finish the main quest, the mod just ends. Has a male character with female voice. Also, the starting location is right outisde the castle, no buildup, or sense of puropose, you just are standing outside the castle and go in to start. Also, could use a little bit of atmosphere to liven things up some.
A lackluster effort, for what could easily been an excellent module. too bad.
Played this before but no review? This was what I call a loose effort: No real direction or reason for just wandering around and killing things, even a little girl who is hostile for some reason? Not a very satisfying experience I would have to say. Low level combat and no gear to speak of. An hour perhaps...
