Dragon Age - Keeper of the Rose Mod

Challseus the maker of some of the best mods for NWN has announced on our forums his latest Mod called Keeper of the Rose for Dragon Age. Here is the video intro.

Since the beginning of time, the Rose Of Eternity has been in the mystical Garden Of Roses, tended to by the Keeper Of The Rose. It is said that the Keeper Of The Rose has the most beautiful singing voice, rivaled by none. However, she does not sing for joy, but rather out of pain, for she is a prisoner in these gardens, forbidden to ever leave. Humanity is to blame for her misfortune, for as long as there is war and strife, she will be doomed to stay in the Garden Of Roses, and sing.

As she grows older, as petals fall off of the Rose Of Eternity, she continues to sing, in the hopes that mankind will change, but they do not. As she begins to become an old woman, people pure of heart are born into the world. These people have the opportunity to change things, but alas, they make the wrong decisions, and the Keeper Of The Rose is left to her prison. And her singing.

As the age ends, she is born anew into the world again, hoping that mankind will change their ways. She has been going through this cycle for 4000 years. Will she ever be freed from her prison? In this life cycle, 6 unknowing people will have the opportunity to make her wish come true…

I love the unfinished NWN series "Rose of Eternity" and I'll try the new game!

Thanks for the info Couch & Challseus!

I didn't really enjoy the Rose of Eternity NWN mods. The story was full of cliches and characters lacked any depth / moral grayness, it was very combat heavy with endless respawns, and the quests were all designed in a console game style (e.g., go to the forest and kill ten wolves). I also wasn't crazy about the main character being forced into using a greatsword and as I recall very limited armor options made it difficult. On the plus side they were well polished and bug free, they added in some special attacks with impressive (for the time) visual effects, but it's just not my cup of tea.

I'm missing something no download links ?

Hopefully when it is released Challseus will upload it to the Dragon Age Nexus. I'm actually replaying Origins right now to remind me of the story in time for Inquisition in November.

Hmmm, so a game where the object is to stop combat? Could be quite interesting.

@daveyd

Thanks for the feedback, and as much as I would like to, I can't argue with any of your points. The stuff about respawning, console game style quests, etc., were all things that were brought up in a lot of feedback back then, things I would eventually fix in the sequel. I've definitely learned a lot about game design in the 10 years since my first NWN game, (was 24 years old then, now 34), so I hope the cliche story and character depth has been fixed as well!

We shall find out…

@Gabriel

You are correct, I will be uploading to the Nexus.

@HiddenX, you, gandalf.nho, Zloth

I hope you all get a chance to play the game when it's released, and of course, I hope you enjoy it!

Your welcome now just hurry up with the release.

Don't forget the new Neverwinter Vault. The site is now the place for all new NWN 1 & 2 mods, and most mods have been moved there from the old IGN vault.
