When We Last Left Our Heroes

March 30, 2009 by Adam in NWN1

My retrospective NWN1 adventure with my son continues. We finished the first module, fighting our way through the mines and later scouring the battlefield on the other side. I got a "Thanks, DM!" from my son after I solved the puzzle ring for him. Otherwise many of the locations are just fuzzy memories for me.

There are a lot of lessons as to what worked when looking back at my earlier works. I really like the room descriptions and large volume of side quests. The first city in particular seems like a large place with endless nooks and crannies. It takes a lot of time to take that approach, but gives a richness to the game that's otherwise lacking. I'll see if I can manage something similar for Dragon Age.

Today we hope to investigate the ongoing mystery at Hill's Edge. We already had a bloody fight in the warehouse and the temple is next on our list.
