ramza Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I know that most of you are busy with NWN2 but there are still a lot of good mods for the IE games. Glory of Istar is one of them. I just downloaded it and it is quite enjoyable and loyal to the Dragonlance setting's rules. The mod will eventually have 2 chapters but the first one has been released in the form of a demo. Has anyone ever tried it? I just enjoy using again that old BG2 interface for new adventures. I just feel nostalgic... and the game is a bit hard since you start at level 1, and dont have many companions. "Ooo, squirrels, Boo! I know I saw them!

CoM_Solaufein Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I have not played it. It seemed like an interesting mod to add to my BG2 mod collection but it seemed like the mod authors abandon it.

Spider Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Apart from the demo, isn't that mod more or less dead? Or have they started working on it again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramza Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 well, we already have the first half of it, which IS better than NOTHING at all. I really like the way spellcasting has been handled (they use mana points now). You guys ought to take a look at it. http://www.dragonlancetc.com/ "Ooo, squirrels, Boo! I know I saw them!

ramza Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 I just noticed that the mod also implements the concept of regional reputation just as Sawyer planned to include in Jefferson. I would love to find this feature in TBH if Sawyer ever decides to make it. "Ooo, squirrels, Boo! I know I saw them! Quick, throw nuts!" -Minsc "I am a well-known racist in the Realms! Elves?

ramza Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 Weird... noone has ever tried that mod? I am actually enjoying it quite a lot! There are many mini-quests and quite some roleplaying-options (for example, you can choose to side with some good-natured ogres and face the persecuting humans instead). "Ooo, squirrels, Boo!

Dark_Raven Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I was waiting for it to be completed. So far it has not. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramza Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 It may never be completed unfortunately. The site hasn't been updated for more than a year. "Ooo, squirrels, Boo! I know I saw them!
