Well I've finally played right through now, and what a classy mod! Great dialogue, voice acting and music. Really felt polished indeed. There were a few areas which felt a little shoddy though - most particularly having to fight "Hungry Seagulls" which appeared as "Challenging" to my level 8 character. Great sense of humour right through this one

.

I agree with M in that is was as good as HoTU (even have a smithy to upgrade weapons (keen/elemental damage etc) as in HoTU), and all of the conversations seems to be handled better than in any other mod/expansion I've played. Trying to persuade/bluff/intimidate people for example gives you the roll against vs the DC after you failed/were successful, and rather than being able to continuously try again until successful (which kind of makes a mockery of the persuade/bluff/intimidate skills) the DC is raised by about 5 each time making you less and less likely to succeed after failing, but whilst not ruling out the possibility.

Good stuff indeed!
