Skyrim!

[M. Rieder]

That's right, Kamal. When they were developing skyrim, they took heavily from ideas inspired by The Wizard's Apprentice. Unfortunately, no royalties as my lawyers did a horrible job negotiating. I do, however have about 300 skyrim novelty mousepads.

Don't worry, I meant that in a good way, Skyrim is gorgeous, and that is too.

[M. Rieder]

Absolutely. Being compared to skyrim is a huge compliment. Thanks.

You rock that lens flare!

[Hellfire_RWS]

Beautiful screens. I have always loved mods set in the snow. any idea on how long it will take you to finish.

[M. Rieder]

I am doing really well in alpha testing. I am hoping to start beta with my other playtesters this weekend. Hopefully Late January. It's a big module, though and I have created some very devious bugs... But I think Late Jan/early Feb is realistic.

[Hilltop2012]

Looks really good! 'freecam' in action!

[PJ156]

That raises the bar somewhat for in mod pictures I think

This looks really sharp! Definitely looking forward to playing it.

[OfficerDonNZ]

The screeines look really good. Just one thing though. How can it be TWA Chapter II when we've only had the prolouge? What happend to Chapter I? Or will the third instalment be TWA Chapter III: The surch for chapter I?

Yes I'm being rather silly.

I believe he's working up to "TWA: the 8th adventure in the increasingly incorrectly named trilogy".

Did you not play chapter I? If not you missed out, it was something of a cross between the muppet movie and 100 million years BC ... only with orcs instead of Raquel Welch.

A half orc in a bikini made from animal skins is a sight to behold I can tell you.

LOL!!!

I’m doing beta testing now and I can assure you people that you’re going to be in for a treat.

I really need to learn how to do mountains like that, they look fantastic!

Agree about the mountains (from what I've seen in the screenshots) very Majestic.

Harumph!

[M. Rieder]

I got a skyring placeable from Hellfire. It provides a mid-distance mountain range between the near mountains that you make in the terrain in the toolset and the far distance mountains in the toolset skyring. That gives it the effect of multiple ranges. I don't know if HF has released the skyrings yet, but I just asked and he let me use them. they are very easy to work with. Just drop them in and resize as needed. Make sure you lock their position, or you will find yourself moving them around a lot without meaning to.

[M. Rieder]

By the way, playtesting is steady, but in a campaign this size it is understandably slow. The playtesters are fantastic and very thorough and are making the campaign much, much more polished. I have some real-life stuff starting next week that will limit my toolset time. I'm thinking I'll have to look at a march release now. I was trying to get TWAII out the door before this real-life stuff came around, but it just wasn't in the cards.

So it will be a bit more of a wait, but it is time well-spent. We are balancing and polishing, balancing and polishing...

NEAT! But, I don't like playing wizards.

[Arkalezth]

Sorcerers and bards also work if you like them better.

I've thrown in some goodies for fighter/wizard multiclass.  Plus this chapter has 3 companions of various classes so you don't have to solo a wizard/sorceror/bard like you did in the first chapter. 

It is not recommended, but I think it would technically be possible to play a character that has only 1 wizard level and all other levels of something else and still complete the game.  Again, this is not what I had in mind when I built the game and there are a few features that you would miss out on, but I think that it could be possible.

Just play a samurai, and behead people when they tell you you need to be a wizard.
