Description

Our tale begins here, in the quiet fishing village of Easthaven. One of the so-called "Ten Towns" of Icewind Dale, the tiny community is hardly a town, but rather a collection of ramshackle huts crowded together upon the icy shores of Lac Dinneshere. Here within a dimly lit tavern, a group of travelers sit huddled around a table, swapping tales and making grand plans for the future, completely unaware of the part they are to play in the events that are about to unfold.

This is a campaign so you must select "New Campaign" to start.

Races: races from IWD are supported, others may work.
Classes: classes from IWD are supported, others may work.
Level: start at level 1
Party Size: party of up to 6
Difficulty: Combat is balanced for a party of 4. Speed of level progression is based on party size so choose wisely

Has been tested for Multiplayer and seems to be working...

 I recently started playing NWN 1 and NWN 2 again.  This was the first module I downloaded and installed.  I will say I am very IMPRESSED. Having played Balder's Gate I & II and Icewind Dale I & II, I really enjoyed what I have played so far.  There are some small differences between your mod and the game, but not even enough to mention.  The only complaint I have is with the engine not your coding.  GREAT JOB.  My only question would be are you planning on doing IWD II or Balder's Gate I & II?  If so I can hardly wait.  Keep up the good work.

Hi Diverous,

There is already a Baldur's Gate Reloaded, completed for NWN2. The author has opted to upload it to another site, so they only have to maintain one copy.

You can get it here - an account will be required to download - http://www.nexusmods.com/neverwinter2/mods/794/?

FP!

Your description of the mod does not mention whether the expansions (Heart of Winter, Luremaster) were included, and I was wondering if they are or not? Thanks~ Anyway, looks great will have to try it out.

None of the expansions are included, just the original (which was still a ton of work laugh )

I played an early release of this a few years back. I can say I really like the improvements in the final build.

  • Early going is tough! I recommend creating your team in a builder and importing them fully equipped. Otherwise just getting geared up will be your first quest!
  • Original conversation based crafting has been replaced with OC crafting. After about level 6 or 7 you should have a steady supply of crafting materials although the gem drops are somewhat random so the gems you have may not allow you to make what you need for your current character level.
  • Loot is much improved with appropriate gear for almost any party available at some point in the campaign. By about level 9 I had good gear for all and leftovers to finance the mission.

Nits:

  • Limited supplies, although the storyline does posit the town being cut off, one would think the bad guys have all of the pilfered goods. Make sure you have a good healer.
  • No auto-export and no opportunity to manually export your party.
  • Unlike most campaigns, some of the items you must interact with aren't "selected" for use. You just have to read the clues as you go and have the right items in inventory to proceed to the next stage.

Overall, this is a really great piece of work and I recommend it to everyone.

Why didn't you just set up a .zip/.rar with the filetree intact so it installs to the correct folders without all the extra work? Seems lazy for a mod developer.

I've replayed this one after a long time and discovered that I didn't vote. (Why?). An astounding work. Some difficult battles. 

PS:_ Didn't this one have another intro movie? The one with the barbarian history?
