Staff member Fluent has finally had the chance to play Neverwinter Nights, and based off a few suggestions on a forum thread he has started to play Saleron's Gambit.

Here is his first Lets Play video with his opinion on the mod.



In this exciting Episode 1 of our NEW Let's Play, we will be exploring a module (or simply, a mod) for the classic computer role-playing game, Neverwinter Nights, called Saleron's Gambit!

Neverwinter Nights is a classic RPG created by the legendary BioWare team,and Saleron's Gambit is a module created for the game by a modder in the community. Neverwinter Nights has TONS of mods like this one, and I chose this because a friend suggested it to me.

There are 5 total chapters to this module, and we will be starting at the beginning with a new character and progressing through each chapter!

This module is heavy on dialog, story-telling, and has a serious pen-and-paper RPG feel to it. So, expect lots of narration by yours truly! :)

I'm glad you enjoyed the mods I recommended Fluent.:highfive:

Just make sure to play the The Aielund Saga or Vis et Virtus mods next. They wont disappoint you , and also try Alazander's mods preferably his last two.

Crimson Tides of Tethyr - http://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn1/module/al2-crimson-tides-tethyr-canceled-premium-module
From the author of the classic module "Siege of Shadowdale" comes a new single player adventure of epic proportions! Featuring almost 75,000 words of dialogue, 80+ areas, dozens of unique NPCs and 5 fully developed companions, "Crimson Tides of Tethyr" is a module in the grand style of Baldur's Gate, an epic tale of war, adventure and betrayal.

As I said I can recommend many more, and it will take months to finish them all.

Thank you for the list HiddenX. I also linked to many more mods that are not on your list in various threads myself. I was just to lazy to make a thread with a list.

I noticed there wasn't that many NWN2 mods so I added more to the thread.:)

Wow, thanks for the support and further recommendations, Couch! I will definitely be checking all of these modules out! :party:
 
Thanks for the list of mods from you as well, HiddenX. Appreciate it! :party:

And you're very conservative in your estimate, HiddenX. You may not see me until 2020 with all these modules to play! :D

When you finally get to NWN 2 your half way done. Better stock up the man cave.

Looks fun, though I'm not sure I could play for several hours as level 1. I just can't get owned by rats for very long before I want some new tricks...

Other than mods to old games, has anyone heard rumor of anyone doing a D&D-based game anytime in the future?

It's not all rats in Chapter 1 of this mod. There were some better enemies as you ventured further in.

Nothing except for more expansions for the F2P Neverwinter game. Hasbro does not seem interested in making more single-player games based on on the license anymore.

As of now we just have Pillars of Eternity in March, Torment sometime in 2016, and we might get a possible Pathfinder CRPG in the future from Obsidian.:thinking:

That's probably one of the oldest quests by now. I recently played a NWN 2 mod where your player makes fun of the quest with the bartender. Instead you have to kill spiders.

Yep! The 'Rats in the Basement' quest is legendary and happened in quite a few RPGs over the years. :lol:

I really liked the quest I did last night in Saleron's Gambit.
Chapter 2, speaking with the Goblin king in a cave in Hunter's Dale. Having to go invisible past that giant black scorpion was awesome! I love seeing giant enemies like that, and knowing he would wipe us out easily if I wasn't invisible just added to that scene. Great stuff. (Oh, and a nice touch at the back of the cave - a caved-in hole where the scorpion got through. Added to the realism of that scene.)

Better yet, don't read the spoiler, just watch the episodes! And please keep in mind, you can watch chunks of the videos at different times, you don't have to watch them all the way through in one shot (I just skip the editing process and instead offer long videos!). :)

Here is Fluent's second Lets Play video.


Hi everybody! In this episode, we get into some REAL adventure! We make our way to Castle Castillon as the Mysterious Stranger in the first episode contracted us to do, and we find all sorts of interesting things there. What we will come across in the dilapidated ruins of the keep? Are we strong enough to handle the challenges that await? It's sure to be an interesting episode, so stay tuned and watch what happens!

Thanks for sharing the video, Couch. Appreciate it! :)

As I said, I hope you guys watch the episodes (if you're into this sort of thing) in chunks, and not necessarily 2 hours straight through. Although, if you want to watch for the entire episode, feel free, but they were made with the idea of watching some and coming back later. However, in the future, I may edit the episodes down to 45 minutes or so, but I need decent editing software first to do that.

Hope you all enjoy. Comments/opinions/suggestions welcome as to how to make the Let's Play better. :)
 
Just finished Chapter 2 of Saleron's Gambit. Great mod thus far. You guys won't see that until Episode 9 or 10, though. Have to upload new episodes soon. Now that I'm recording with Raptr, my videos are much smaller and quicker to encode, so I should be able to be more productive with future episodes. :)
 
Have fun, Fluent!! :)

If you are after a nice short mod for NWN1, I can also recommend Chris Huntoon mods - Halo of Flies, Shadow from a Soul on Fire and Some Distant Shore.

http://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn1/module/halo-flies
http://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn1/module/shadow-soul-fire
http://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn1/module/some-distant-shore

I might have another crack at Some Distant Shore myself again. I'm not too good with 3rd edition, and got my a$s kicked only 5 minutes into the game. (I did finish Halo of Flies and Shadow from a Soul on Fire though. Both excellent games).
