It's not easy, picking the best and most memorable things out of the mod...

1. What is your favorite Level, and why?
I don't know, I did really like what I saw of the lowest pre-SoU level (I think it was 9), the one with all the water and narrow steppingstone walkways, but I haven't been there since (what with the missing passageway to level 6) so I have no clue as to what it looks like now.
That area would have been a true maze if it hadn't been for the minimap, and had a great atmosphere. I could almost smell the growing stalactites [img]smile.gif[/img]

2. What 'Moment' or NPC is your favorite in EfU?
Finding the ZIROC trap. The headstone on level 2 also comes close.
It's the little (sometimes surprising) details.
I've also tried entering Choc, Chocolate and Ziroc in characters' deity fields, but so far I didn't notice any effects there...

3. Which area do you think is the best? (i.e. area, as in 'The tough Bone Golem area'
The Tough Bone Golem Area.

4. Most memorable thing you'll leave the Mod with?
My new most memorable moment: There were two players some ways down in the Undermountain when I joined so I rushed after them, catching up on level 5. One was a rogue, the other an arcane archer. The rogue left us when we first entered lvl 6, so it was just the archer and my part-time thief. As the two of us went on killing (he did the killing, being level 18 to my level 11, I just carried a torch ad stabbed a few kobolds here and there...) and getting killed (this was mostly me, because I don't believe in massive resistances/immunities, but fortunately he carried a cloak of resurrection), the bowman suddenly noticed he was starting to run low on arrows. We found perhaps 300 between level 6 and level 8, so he was mostly forced to use a melee weapon instead as he kept hoping for a merchant. Of course, I didn't know of any merchants so far down [img]graemlins/littleangel.gif[/img]
Finally, we made our way to level 8. Picking a totally random direction, I ran off to the north, and he followed. After fighting the priests he began walking southwest again, but I managed to get him to explore the house first. His surprise at seeing non-hostile folk was amusing, but I absolutely loved it when he discovered the man in the back, saw a store option in the dialogue and, through a throat tight with emotion, managed: "yay".
