NWN2 - Moonshadows Module Review
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.
