NWN2 - Moonshadows Module Review

by Dhruin, 2009-06-06 10:18:20

Chevalier from Sorcerer's Place writes in about their review of the NWN2 module, Moonshadows Chapter 1.  Written by Ossian's Alex 'Hugie' Hugon, word is "this is an exploration-driven module with heavy combat and a story that really gets going"; the score is 8.75/10 and here's a bit on the area design:

The area design is awesome. It's in no way behind the official releases. I often stopped by to take a screenshot or two and sometimes it turned into a small session.  There is much to look at, even though Alex's primary focus was on the writing. In retrospect, it feels as if he had delivered a more than competent area design job with the areas being a secondary concern, while he was seeing his role as a story designer and writer first and foremost, not stepping too far into the engine room. And yet you don't need nanotools to create something remarkable. I wonder what he will be capable of after a couple of years spent at Ossian. The forest areas and especially the eastern part, since basically everything above the ground is a forest here, reminded me of the Baldur's Gate series and brought a tear to my eye.
