    I started a new run through, after downloading Classic Adventures. It should be a whole new game and I'm looking forward to all the new encounters. For those of you who have played this mod, I have noticed in the beginning that the NPC choices are rather weak, at least in the beginning, but so are the encounters. I was thinking about a M-player run thru with 6 pre-made characters, but so far, that seems like it would be WAY too easy. But since these are remakes of some of the classic modules from way back when, it seems right to use pre-made characters. Any opinions on this?

    This game is still in the Beta, lots of bugs so far, very frustrating, I haven't been able to get real far without the game having some type of major issue ruin it. started over at least 5 times now. ... oh well, that's what I get for not waiting for a finished copy... should be great when it's completely done though!

    Giving it another try, as there is alot of total content in the latest version. Game is playing very nicely so far. Ther is alot of care from the modders and it seems like your actions can impact the story, at least in the beginning. This mod really has me intrigued and I plan to carry it as far as this version will take me. You are basically thrust with a few NPCs in teh beginning, not many choices, but now I have a party of 5. Could be six easily. I created an Elven Fighter/Mage as my PC, though I feel that so far, a Hardened Single-classed Warrior-Type would make the game easier, though not as fun. A little NPC info below, for starters... spoiler.



    1 - Shadow - Halfling Thief - Starting Town
    2 - Dilbert - Elf Archer - Starting Town
    3 - Rurik - Dwarven Fighter/Cleric - Starting Town
    4 - Chaarna - Human Evoker - Starting Town
    5 - Paraway - Elf Ranger - On way to the Citadel, just north of town
    6 - erky - Gnome Illusionist/Cleric - Being held captive in the Citadel
    7 - Meepo - Kobold Fighter - Meet him in the Citadel

    Romance!

    Well, well.... there are romances in this mod as well. Even some of the NPCs are romancing each other. My Pc might have to eliminate one of his party members though, as that party memeber is romancing another party member, a priestess of Sune!:love:
