oh.. and incidentally i do have a few recommendations for modules you should try after you are done with SoU and HotU expansions Chiefsonny.  all of these are in the vault.

1. the Twilight Series - it's a paladin mod, has absolutely the best hench(wo)men and hench(wo)men AI i've seen in a mod so far. unfortunately the author has opted to not make the 3rd installment "Dawn" and the group that has taken over it's construction seem to no longer be working on it as well.  there hasn't been an update on progress for years.
hmm..getting the urge to redownload it...
biggest thing.. you MUST play as either a paladin or a cleric, as you absolutely must have the turn undead ability, and be level 1.  also you mustn't love ranged weapons as much as i do, for their use is strictly forbidden in your order   Even if you dispise paladins like i do...you'll love this.

2. Hex Coda (series) - kind of a sci-fish type mod, but very good, just don't expect to gain many levels. unfortunately part 2 is only half-finished.

3. A Dance With Rogues part 1 and 2. - what can I say... Valine does great work.  Under all that adult content lies a great story-line, you just have to have to keep an open mind.  Very few mods in my opinion are so well written, sure it has a couple bugs, but over all it's well worth playing.

4. Aribeth's Revival(2 part series) and Aribeth's Redemtion(3 part series) - two sets of modules that revolve around the nerfed aribeth romance at the end of the OC.  both are good quality mods.  they kinda go different ways, but are well written.

5. The Shadow Queen - it was a contest entry meant to bridge the gap between the SoU and HotU expansions
it's safe to say those first 3 mods have ruined all others for me . . . and im not sad about it

There are many threads about that "modules list".There is one in my signature, Prophet, by Baldecarn, which is there alone for some of the very best reasons I suppose.I'm currently replaying Sanctum of the Archmage, by Andarian which is such a flying and creative module.

Sounds like that package doesn't include the best ones.



I've played them all. Pirates of the Sword coast being my favorite followed by Wyvern Crown. Ironically, probably the best of all of them "Darkness over Daggorford" wasn't released as a premium mod at all as Atari, in it's infinite wisdom, chose to cancel that particular mod.



Of the mods in question I liked Witches Wake best as it was made Rob Bartel and had some excellent writing.



My hope is that one day they will release a version of NWN patched to 1.69 and including all the premium mods.

About NWN2 : yes it seems to be stable (but there are reports of white screens with some new video cards, unresolved at this time). I just couldn't get used to the camera modes in NWN2, they are not like NWN1. Besides, the new minimap on the top left does not help to avoid get lost, and I really got lost in the first dungeon, something that never happened to me in NWN1. Finally, unlike NWN1, there is no single critical rebuild patch you can download in advance to patch your game to the last version, you have to use the auto-updater and download every patch that came out of the sun to patch your game to the last version.

IMO, NWN1 and NWN2 are both great games. I'd go into detail about what I like about NWN2, but I think it's a little off-topic for this forum.



As for the thread topic, I think NWN2 is a good place to go if and when you get tired of NWN1. The NWN2 OC and expansions are quite engaging, there is really good voice acting and cutscene work, the henchies come to life, and patching and installing Tony K's AI takes care of most of the complaints I've seen from folks who never stuck with it enough to do the learning curve.



And then, after getting done with NWN2, which has a relatively small amount of custom content available, the NWN1 custom, user-made content is practically infininte, or at least close to it, in the sense that unless you play as a full-time job for years, you're never going to exhaust it.



Use the NWN Vault! If you don't, you don't know what you're missing!

after thinking a while, i decided to do a little searching about playing games with high graphical requirements on low end hardware, and i came across this little gem.
www.tutorialistic.net/forums/exclusive-secrets-and-hacking/run-higher-games-on-low-or-without-graphic-card-7734.html

with it's help i was actually able to run NWN 2 on my crappy Intel 945 express series video card on my laptop.   it took a little longer to load then normal, but graphically it worked great.  didn't even have the screwed up menus like i did on my desktops  BFG GeForce 7300 GT.    basically if it'll run on my laptop.. it'll run on just about anything provided you have enough RAM.   was kinda laggy for me though.. only have 1gb of ram and im running vista, so my resources are a little thin.
