Hi, MEAT & Chaostheory,
There was a long post by Armin (probably a few to several pages back by now) about this NWN mod that really piqued my interest. However, when I discovered it was a huge download (IIRC, about 100 MB for the mod itself, and another 200 MB for an associated graphics/sound/etc. package), I gave up on it.
I could only find one source for it, and I've never been able to get a download manager to work on that site. Stuck with dial-up 'net access, I'm not about to try to download 300 MB without being able to pick up the download from where it got dropped, or from when I needed to take a break, etc!
Too bad, it sounds great.
Someone would do a good thing if they would make these files available from a site that allows the use of a true download manager (though, I don't know if the site that has them has some type of exclusive franchise or not; I don't think so, but I suppose it's possible). Or, if that NWN site does allow usage of a dl manager, any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong, and why I can't get one to work there?
Chaostheory, bear in mind that the Dark is more difficult than D1 (personally, I would say much more difficult); I haven't played a recent version, but when I tried an earlier version a few years ago, I got a Rogue and a Sorcerer down to about dlvl 5-6, and got psychically debilitated from all of the tense moments! I put it aside for a while and have never found the energy to try to take it further. :blush:
I think you should be fairly experienced with D1 before tackling it, but maybe that's just me. Nevertheless, I am in awe of the dedication of the Dark's makers to make as many changes and improvements as they did, and solve many of D1's remaining bugs, especially continuing to work for so long after the game came out, when the fan base has dwindled. The Dark is truly a work for Zamal and Zenda to be proud of.
Regards,
Dako-ta
