This looks excellent. One last premium module before we see NWN2, and we have mounts!

Watch the trailer here...it actually looks very well made. I'll have to give this a go [img]smile.gif[/img]

Looks ok. Daggerford was very good so this might be promising!

Stampede your way into the latest Premium Neverwinter Nights module, which features the long-awaited addition of fully ride-able horses, plus cloaks, tabards, a completely new tileset, creatures, placeable objects and a lot more!

Do you buy it, or is it free?

You buy it, and it requires an internet connection to start it every time, to verify the copy is legit.

Boy, gettin' pretty crazy!

Anybody downloaded and played yet? I'd like to hear a couple of good things before I buy.

I hear a lot of good things about it, but I haven't tried it myself. Read some of the comments from others here

I'm thinking of downloading it tonight - if I do I'll post a review.

I've been playing it, it looks pretty good. Best Premium Mod so far, lots of new content. I haven't found a horse to ride yet, trying to find one.

I bought it as well--for the custom content and tilesets to add to EFU [img]smile.gif[/img]

The tilesets are amazing alone! [img]smile.gif[/img] Horse models are crazy nice!

How were you able to access the scripts and the content, Z? I couldn't work out how to do it. Apparently they're adding that content to NWN in patch 1.69 thoughh.

so combat on horseback is possible? thats what i miss in oblivion!!!

Well, I've been playing it for a couple of days (on and off) and I have to say this is easily the best downloadable mod I've ever played. I haven't got too far in terms of storyline, but the innovations that the DLA team have put into this mod are remarkable.

So far the things I found really cool about it are:

- rideable horses. I wasn't one of those "we MUST have rideable horses" type people, but these guys did an awesome job in terms of not only having rideable horses, but also combat-ready horses. And the jousting is so cool!! :D
- lots of games. You can play darts, joust (the jousting system they have really works well) and engage in tournament games which adds to the atmosphere
- well-developed henchman interaction. It's the closest I've yet seen to the BG-party member feel, where your henchies actually seem to have personalities and will adjust their views of you based on your actions.
- gaining XP for skills use (eg disabling traps, searching, etc). Bonus marks also for actually making the Spot and Listen skills useful - you gain experience for spotting and hearing things
- proper cloaks you can see, without having to attach them to the neck of the armour
- new tilesets (which I think you can access via the .hak files)

In terms of the storyline, I haven't gotten too far so I can't comment, but this is definitely worth the $11 I paid for it.

I'm sold. Thanks for the review, Memnoch!

Come to think of it, Ziroc, have you downloaded the rest of the would-be premium module collection? I mean, to check out the various new models people have come out with and the tile sets they've produced? I've been rather curious ever since the advent of the first "should have been" module rearing its head over the crowd and storming over the gaming landscape like Godzilla. (And Godzilla references are ALWAYS in fashion.) There have been (I think) four other modules released - one of which I am sure didn't use any extra models to be constructed. With all this creativity evident around you, did that inspire you to greater heights?

wow thanks for the heads up.. ill think of getting this [img]smile.gif[/img]

Geez this module is HARD. I'm struggling to get through Poltier's Fort bigtime. Just not enough bloody healing potions, and Edgar is useless. :mad:

The hakpaks can be opened with NWN's hakpak viewer/extractor. Only one hak is encrypted. (Nothing big though, all the good stuff is accessible).

I bought it because I wanted to support DLA first and foremost. I have gotten many, MANY tips and good help from them making NWN Custom content, and all the hard stuff like skin meshes.

They kick ass. ;) Secondly, I bought it for the stellar custom content. The Mist Dragon is .... animated Artwork.
