 Just completed the campaign. (SPOILERS MAY FOLLOW!)


I have got to say that it has been one hell of a journey. I enjoyed almost every aspect of the game...aside from some of the backtracking in the earlier chapters...(Glares at River Cave).
The Companions were fantastic, I grew quite fond of Ember and Honour in particular. By the sounds of it, Honour's story isn't done, which means my PC (Pyris Mithrandir) story probably isn't done either. Would have been nice to make the choice between adventuring and Ember before or during the cutscene, but I like that you've left it open for interpretation.
I do admit to calling you all the names under the sun at some fights though, especially with my class build (Fighter 1, Bard 7, Eldritch Knight 5) dying a lot very early on, and some especially hard fights later but I kept coming back, determined to beat them so it overall was a good challenge. I couldn't defeat Mama Landry at all though, she was way too powerful, especially when compared to Mortimer who I found disappointingly easy.
I again want to thank you for making a file for me to use the Discord Bastard Sword, it fit my PC perfectly, both in Roleplay and in combat, and I used it all the way to end game.
Thank you very much for the fantastic experience, and I look forward to seeing more modules from you in the future...(possibly a sequel to Tales of the Lake of Sorrows ;-))

Campaign Score: - 9.5/10

P.S: Did hit a few bugs which I was able to solve by reading previous comments. I had the portal bug in Vault of the Damned and couldn't enter the Orcs lair until I updated to your current version of the campaign. And in Caravan Club I kept crashing a lot while leaving Parsons Farm.

Hello Maeniel Celeres,

Thanks for the comments and vote. I would be very grateful if you could add it on the vault.

You are right I would not delete that character save file just yet. there's a few levels more mileage in him yet.

Spoilers do follow.

I need to cut ties with Ember for the story to progress so I did not leave it to the player. Hopefully my explanations will make sense as the story progresses.

I am surprised at Ma Landry being a tougher prospect than Sally Landry, she was the toughest and the only one you have to fight. You can walk round the other Landrys though you do have to fight Crabtree and Evelyn.

Mortimer s fight depends on the AI. Like any mage if you go at him early and hard and disrupt spell casting he is a breeze. If you concentrate on his support and leave him alone for a couple of rounds then it is a very different fight.

That's a very squishy build you have there. I think that your Ember should have dropped all pretense at rogue and gone fighter at every level past 1. Is that the way you took her?

You're welcome to the customization BTW. I am updating the mod this weekend so it will be in there at full price from LDotR onwards, should you ever play again.

[PJ156]

Soon,

I have just finished the update so I will pack it into one file and put it up.

I tried before but the upload rate was very slow and it kept crashing during the upload. I will try over the weekend

Just dropped in to say how enjoyable this campaign is. Although I had all may saves from the previous modular versions, I restarted and replayed this one from the beginning. It was worth it. Great job. This will get a 10 if I can ever get my password reset on the vault. <grrrr>

You'll have to contact one of the admins, as the Vault's message system doesn't work. You can PM Rolo Kipp here on the Bio forums.

I had some help from Tchos and this mod is finally up on the Nexus.

For those who want to grab it there, please enjoy

I loved all of the mods but I have a question. I don't mean to be a killjoy, but Is there any way to start with The Vault of the Damned without redoing the entire campaign?

[Frosty44]

Ok, now that I re-did my message the original one finally showed up. Sorry for the duplicate post but there's no way to delete a message!

Hello Frosty44,

I have the stand alone version on my hard drive but I have only one run through done and it does not level up your character. However if you have a 14th level character then it should be okay. If you are interested I will link you here and you can take it from my dropbox?

PJ

[Arkalezth]

Don't you end, rather than start, at 14?

There are some modules out there where you can level and buy equipment, but you probably know about those already.

[PJ156]

Ark is right you need to be level 10

PJ

[Frosty44]

Thanks PJ! I have the char I used throughout the mods (I've done all of them). I don't remember what level he is, but I can always level him up to 14 if I need to.

I read about the improvements and would like to do the whole campaign again one day, but right now I just don't have the time (maybe over xmas vacation) and would love to do the last chapter and see it all come to fruition.

How do I get it from your dropbox? I can test it for you if that's any help. I should mention that I'm on a Mac if that makes any difference.

Thanks again,

Karen : )



Edited -

PJ, thanks for the offer, but nevermind - I decided to re-do the entire campaign - especially since you added to it. Btw, it turns out my char was level 10 at the end. It's weird though - both my char and Ember seem to look different (my char looks darker). Am I imagining this or did you change Ember's looks or is it the lighting?  :happy:

Thanks for the reply Karen,

The head sets are different, that's Xaltars work you are seeing. He has doen a series of overwrite of the stock heads. If you want to go back to the main set you need to take the folder named xaltar from campaign folder. The heads will still look different though as I changed them to get the Xaltar over write i wanted.

Lv 10 is the correct level, my last post was wrong.

PJ

[Frosty44]

It's nice to know I'm not going crazy lol! I kept looking at my Paladin and wondering why he looked like a ape and I remembered Ember being prettier. I think I will remove that folder and see how it looks. Thanks for letting me know!

Btw, I noticed you made some changes (I'm in chapter 2) and I realized how long ago I first played so it's fun doing it again.

[PJ156]

Hehe it as been a long time as there are lots in chapter 1 too

PJ

[Frosty44]

To be honest, I found the first chapter to be easier than it was originally and a little shorter, but maybe that's just because I knew what was coming!

Btw, thanks so much for telling me about that folder! I removed it and I think the chars look a lot better now! I just couldn't stand my Paladin looking like a brute lol!

[PJ156]

I would not want you having to play a brutish paladin either, everyone knows they are cute and cuddly and wear pink and yellow armour with teddy bears on

There's a mod someone should do.

PJ

[Frosty44]

LOL! My paladin may be kinda cute, but pink - please! He's a lean, mean, fighting machine.


Edited to ask if a quest in The Caravan Club mod was cut out of the campaign? I played it a while ago but unless I'm confusing it with another mod, wasn't there an attempted theft that we had to thwart?

Modifié par Frosty44, 24 juin 2013 - 02:42 .

[Frosty44]

I voted on the vault, but just wanted to say thank you for a lot of hours of fun - and for the help.

Karen : )

[PJ156]

Hello Karen,

You are welcome and thanks for the vote. it is much appreciated.

I missed your edit above. in general the whole of Caravan Club is about thwarting a theft. There are no smaller sub plots though.

I have tried to make the Landry fight tougher but it's all about AI. The game AI means he will cast any one of a number of spells that may or may not be useless. If you get in his face fast enough he goes down.like any unsupported mage. Leave him alone for two rounds and it's a different story altogether, so rather then think of that as an easy fight I prefer to think that you are an excellent tactician.

Did you get the ending with the low down on what happened to the npcs? If you did I think your character will have exported. Otherwise I will change that in the next update.

PJ

[Frosty44]

That makes sense - I just expected a tougher fight after the basement incident where we attacked him immediately. But I would understand if that fight was not meant to be won!

I did get the ending, and I just checked and my char was exported - I guess I'm used to a screen coming up saying my char had been exported so I didn't realize it. I just checked and my paladin was exported twice (I always export my char no matter what since I give him everything everybody in the group is wearing or carrying lol).

Hi, seems that pm does not work for some reason...

So as I was saying in the vault, I had a problem that the after battle conversation did not start at the end of 3rd chapter.

[septreves]

Hey PJ, the system wouldn't let me PM you without adding you as a friend. Hope that's OK. Looking forward to the standalone VotD! I will replay the entire Tales campaign one day
