Hardcore-horror fans, like me, should really check out the NWN1 module "Vampire - Heaven Defied". It has an awesome story, atmoshpere and a lot of creepy and disgusting situations that all horror fans will love. ;) Here's my comment from back at the vault:
"This is an awesome mature-horror mod. Certainly not for people below 18, if you ask me since it contains various scenes of blood, gore, sex,*bleep* etc. but that's all mentioned in the descripion.
As a horror-story, this mod does the cake very well. I'm used to horror but some scenes in this mod made even me feel very uneasy and disgusted, so applause to that skill even though I am not a fan of too extreme horror, like the lighthouse eremite for example. That's nothing I'd like to include in a horror work I make myself, since I find it too goddamn disturbring. :D Still, its fine when it's other people's work and I enjoyed getting a bit freaked out while playing your mod. :)
The story also have a very interesting perspective when it comes to religion vs. vampires. Who is really evil? The vampire who is driven by the need for blood simply to survive? Or the religious fanatic that kills anyone that stands in the way (even innocent ones) in order to be able kill a vampire? I think that was handled very well.
The various vampire-skills were handled very well as well. Awesome skills and they all felt very original and initutive.
Also I personlly liked the way the camera zooms in on an NPC when you start a conversation. Felt very original.
That's about it, I think. :) Well done! "
Hope some of you'll be interested in checking it out. :)
In other news: I've started reading from the "Don't Panic: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the NWN2 toolset" and I'm on page 15 of 135-something, I think it was. So ... I've at least STARTED getting into the nwn2-toolset. And that's always a good thing. ;) Perhaps some of you are applauding right now ... ;)
Berra out.

I have my mod-playing cut out for a while. First of, to finish the current one (Ravenloft, Beyond the Gate) then Almraiven and Shadewood, respectively, then Mummy Dust, and so on. And not to mention that school started. Univeristy. Whatever... :(
ReplyDeleteI'll be sure to get to this one some time... :)
Almraiven & Shadewood are two of the best nwn-mods to date. They don't feel like NWN at all. :D And that's a great accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteI've finished Almraiven but have yet to finish Shadewood (but so far, its just as good as Almraiven).
And should you get some time then try out the Vampire-mod as well. But leave it as an extra choice if you will. If don't have enough time and you'd like to choose between playing Vampire & Almraiven/Shadewood, then I'd go with the latter (namely Alm. & Shade.). :)
Good luck with school man!
