A new NWN Module review? A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one! I always enjoyed the Aielund Saga, and it's nice to get a few of your thoughts on the first two acts here. :) It's a shame you don't upload more often or make longer videos, because I'm often left wanting more in-depth reviews/analysis of of community adventures. Not that I'm trying to pressure you or anything, I mean it as a compliment!
Thanks for the kind words! Yeah, I wish I could find more time to do this, but I've got some good free time coming the next couple months so expect at least a few more soon(tm.) :)
I think the first 2 chapters are the best of the series. Once I got into the ending chapters with Epic Levels I found the campaign really just ground down to a slog. I still had an absolute blast playing through it!
Love to see you uploading again! A great review as always! I had played Aielund Saga 1 and 2 when i first finished the OC, SoU, and HotU, and thought they were decent modules (if overhyped and underwhelming). I agree that the world crafted here is interesting, if a little cliche and human-centric feeling (by that i mean it doesn't feel right playing as any other race in this world, unfortunately). However, I agree that the dialogue was very "edgy" and written with a prose that limited your choices. Chapter 1 was best in the series for roleplaying (and in general, in my opinion), as it gave you more choices and even alignment shifts. I was also not a fan of how many egregious grammatical errors and typos were present. It felt very amateurish, or like the author couldn't have cared less and didn't bother polishing and touching up any text in Chapters 1 and 2 for the Enhanced Edition. Compare this to something like Swordflight, a module series that is orders of magnitudes larger in scope and depth, yet rarely has any errors in text. I'll be playing Chapters 3 and 4 sometime later.
There's is a couple newer ones that I'd like to try out. But, I have a pretty extensive list of great mods and other crpgs to dive into. I feel like sometimes it's a dart board and see what sticks.
Awesome to see NWN reviews from you again Turnsup, your reviews are always so professional! ^_^ Hopefully you received my message from awhile ago that my dark fantasy zombie apocalypse survival module Surviving Horror 1 REMAKE has finally been released. :P Oh, and I can't recommend the newly released module "The Monastery of the Saviour and its Dark Secrets" by Greendoor enough, it's actually become my number #4 all-time favorite (as seen in my list "Birger's NWN Recommendations" back on neverwintervault )! ^_^
Thanks man appreciate! Yeah, took a hiatus during fall cause of work. Things are looking promising these next few months as that slacks off. I'm more than interested in playing it, especially since it's got a similar vibe to Resident Evil. It's on the list and I think it would be an excellent module to look at for a review.
Is there an extensive mod list somewhere to better NWN1? I'm talking ui changes, bug fixes, texture packs, etc. I beat bg1 vanilla, plus most other crpg's, but this and NWN2 are so hard for me to get into. Mainly, the ui and controls.
There are several mods that can make your companions AI better or change the UI layout but as far as a list, I'd start by searching the Neverwinter Nights reddit board first before diving into Beamdog's forums. There are also ways to manage your AI companions without mods and there is an excellent video on youtube to follow that th-cam.com/video/vMk7lR7G-kQ/w-d-xo.html Hope that helps!
One of my favorite module series alongside the Prophet series.
Aielund Saga would have made a great campaign for the original game release. I thoroughly enjoyed my playthrough.

That music in 4:28 is from Lineage 2, hunter village theme, AMAZING GAME back then :)
Cool. I figured it had to be outsourced somewhere but there was no way for me to find it. The song fits really well.
@@turnsupgaming5949 Yea, song is amazing, u can check also elven village(lineage 2) theme and dion theme, a lso great tracks and perfect for rpg :)
Thanks for the reviews! Any idea on the next module review?
