Heh, throbblefoot, cuchulann, and I still refer to you by that handle when we're talking shit about you in a bar.
Alright, I wasn't going to do this, but you called me out:
Shadowlords Series
and
Dreamcatcher Series
(both Adam Miller)
Penultima - Stefan Gagne
Witch's Wake - BioWare
I can list plenty more including my server.
Good day to you sir,
420
I've played all of those. The entire shadowlords, dreamcatcher, demon series is great. Also, Witch's Wake was short as hell. If I recall, I don't think they even finished the series. Penultima didn't take that long, actually I think I spent more time playing Stefan's eternum series than I did penultima.
As for your server, that's a server. Downloadable single-player mods is the criteria I'm looking for. Though I have always admired your diligence, I can't help but feel there is a distinct difference. Although I always did wonder why you never came out with any mods of your own, I'd always hoped you would at some point. (like I said, besides the server.)
Like I said, if you can think of any mods I can download that are good, especially if they have a lot of play time, let me know. I am still more than willing to play NWN mods if there's any recommendations. I know for sure of a few I would love to re-play, but it's been a long time since I've played one that's new to me.
I am going to disagree on Adam Miller's games. I only played part of Shadowlords and part of one he made for NWN2 and I lost interest in them. I think his greatest failing was his areas. Lots of large cavernous rooms and wide outdoors with absolutely nothing in them. Sometimes you would hit a trigger which would bring a float text to describe what you were supposed to see. Would it hurt to just drop in some blueprint placeables? Honestly he probably makes a good DM but I feel that is would have been better if he took his dialogue trees and rearranged them into Choose Your Own Adventure books.
I have played the Shadowlords, Dreamcatcher, and Demon series all the way through, more than once, and while I agree on many of the points you make regarding these mods I must point out in his defense (Adam's) that these mods were very early released in the NWN community and were some of the earliest popular mods created that managed to stay popular in the NWN community to this day. Many of the features we have now were non-existent and many of the bugs and struggles they had then are no longer an issue. I guess I'm just saying he did a pretty good job at the time. No expansions, no CEP, many patches ago. I know many things were updated over time, but still, the whole of it remains the same.
Fair enough, but I would never pay money for those mods I linked. Those were made by people who were given the ability to tell a story to a community and didn't expect money for it.
Actually "Witch's Wake" was originally a premium module that costed money. It did become free later.
Don't I recall you purchasing Pirates of the Sword Coast? I can't remember, but I think I did play some of it myself, all I know is that if I did I no longer have it at any rate.
