1/20/2019- module v1.1 updated minor issues
Hi Bealzebub
No rating, I haven't played it yet, but I just wanted to say that your work, along with modules like White Plume Mountain and the Scourge of Candle Cove is the reason I still enjoy NWN II. I absolutely love the way you shape and structure your modules, thank you so much for your work!!! I greatly appreciate you for still being active, I'll rate G1-2-3 as soon as I finish it
1/23/2019- module v1.3 updated minor issues
Downloading now. I have been waiting for this. Will you continue with the rest of the series?
I just finished the hill giants and heading for the frost giants. It plays great and no bugs so far. My only wish would be for a full party of 6, but my 4 are doing fine. My party covers most of the bases. I have an elvish rogue with 1 level of shadow dancer. A dwarvish cleric. AN elven wizard. And an Aasimar paladin with 3 levels of cleric. So far, so good.
Glad you're enjoying so far.
As for finishing the series, I am currently working on Descent into the Depths of the Earth... but it's an awful long way to the end. I'm just taking it one module at a time.
That's ok. I need to go back and do A1-A4 with my own party and than take that same party through G1-G3. I still remember doing these modules back in the 9th grade. Long, long time ago lol
I played the Beta version and really enjoyed it. In the middle of some thing else when i'm finished I plan on replaying A1 - A-4, then G1- G3. So I am going to go ahead rate it based on my beta play thru, don't think I will need to change my vote afterwards.
Hi, I've been playing this series for a few days now and love it. Just one problem, and I feel like an idiot, but I connot for the life of my progress to the lower level in the frost giant glacier. Been through all the upper caves, and the dragon cave, but can't seem to find my way down. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, I'll look for it.
Just finished this last night, after running through Slave Lords first. Really great set of modules. I played both as a kid in the 80s and while I don't remember them in detail, these felt very true to the originals.
I had a few infrequent CTDs on area transitions but they were pretty random and not reproducable. I also have some textrue packs and the facelift pack in my override so... could be a conflict from something on my end.
Definitely looking forwards to the next part of the series.
My only real comment for improvement would be to allow for custom parties in the Slave Lords campaign as well, so the player could take the same party all the way through. Also IIRC there was a mod that allowed for the selection of Greyhawk dieties in character creation on the old vault. Can't seem to find it here, but if anyone knew of it and could link it, would be great for this campaign.
Actually thinking about it, I do have one other comment... but it may be more about the source material. The guy who sends you against the various giants, forget his name, the pompous lordling... he's such a jackass, who's great boon is allowing you to keep any treausre plunered from places everyone else is afraid to go... he almost seems like a sitcom character. Kind of blows the immersion for me a little bit. Plus I want to kill him not help him. Was he part of the source material?
Outside of that little non-issue I'd recommend these modules to everyone.
Hey Tanlaus, glad you liked it. As for the pompous lordling, yes he is part of the original campaign... well... not the original module but he is part of the Queen of the Spiders campaign.
If you don't like him now, just wait until he tells the king of Keoland about how he defeated the giants!
I played the earler games way back when, but really enjoyed getting back into the action and didn't encounter any problems along the way. I started at level 12 and ended at 16 (Paladin), got very, very rich, and enjoyed the ride.
I have to mention how great the load screens are - they're very original and exceptionally well done!
My only suggestion is to balance the fights a bit better on the bottom floors of the fire giants hold - there are way too many enemies for such a small group! I generally play on hard core, but I had to put it down to normal, and then easy for last several fights. All in all, a lot of fun though.
I exported my character and will look forward to the next chapter - I haven't been down to the underdark for a long time now!
