So, I´ve played through Chapter 2 now. I´m busy with other things currently so I´m progressing quite slowly. Anyway, I´ve played about 14 hours of the new things I´ve added (it´ll take longer for the other players because I knew exactly what to do). I´m pleased with that number as I have yet to play all the "showdowns" of the mod. I didn´t reach the required XP amount to get to Icewind Dale in the Chapter 2 (I had around 1,9 million) so I´ll have to wait for Chapter 6 to get there. I´ve fough two competition days at the Arena and noticed that they are easily won with a barbarian (Wulfgar). I´ve raised the difficulty level there a little bit.

About the general difficulty...everything I had done was pretty hard (for a player of my skills) but the original quests were easy at the end. After I had gotten Bruenor to my party, Drizzt, Wulfgar and Bruenor kicked the fat arses of the old enemies easily. There are no +5 weapons in Chapter two (except Carsomyr), so Kangaxx remains alive.

The game time shows almost 90 days but as the world map is larger now, many of the hours come from travelling.


Overall I´m pleased with what I´ve seen. The thing I´ve feeling most confident about is that the best parts are yet to be seen. The Arena was a bit of a disappointment but we´ll see how the higher level competition days turn out. Anyway, I´ll head forwards in the game now. I don´t think I´ll be able to make it before the end of the month but definately in the beginning of September.


P.S. The NPC dialog enchantment mod might be canceled after all. I just don´t have time. Well, I´ll still think about it and see how the mod turns out when some people start playing it.

Abou that statement, Gilgamesh :
1. Kangaxx needs +4 weapons to be hit, not +5 ;
2. In chapter 2, there is one +4 weapon : Staff of Rhynn.

And numerous of weapons I´ve made. I remembered wrong that immunity level. Well, I´ll go and beat him now.

I wouldn't feel too bad about it. As I've said before, you can't rush perfection.

[Gilgamesh]

OK, I´m in Chapter 6 now (just traveled to Icewind Dale). I´ll try to get the testing done as soon as possible.

Well, I´ve played everything in the mod now except for two battles, the final battle and the battle for the Eye of a God. That Eye of a God battle is insanely hard but I´ll try to get through it tonight. After that I´ll kill Bodhi and then I´ll try to fix that final battle problem (see "Weird Bug 2"). I´ll also try to fix one other quest which is tested to work but didn´t trigger for me in this walkthrough for some reason.

Anyway, I´ve spend 33 hours on my quests/features so the final amount of game play added is 30+, just like I wanted.

I´d say the mod will be in the beta-testers´ hands in this month.
