So here one of the most critically beloved companies that produced some of the most beloved games of all times still went under. (Good) RPGs were and still are more expensive to produce on a sales ratio basis. IMO, ratio of production cost to profit margin. With 12 /13 games developed/published being critical darlings and 10 or so of them being sales successes, how did they fail? Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance III (cancelled 2004).

If you would like to rate the game as bad – feel free - go ahead - but the argument should be based on the game elements as the overall success of the company that developed/published it irrelevant to the conversation. It's the same as saying you're allowed to have an opinion but they don't really matter as you're not as good/smart/experienced as me. To start out by saying that "your allowed to have and opinion" then denigrate the person for stating an opinion contrary to yours seems a little hypocritical.

But there are things that are just wrong with the rules and mechanics and the choices that the Dev's made that took it very far from a D&D adventure. The module uses 3 haks by coulisfu while I have included links note that I used an earlier version of his Oriental_Rural hak when designing the module.Originally posted by Damn_Monkey:While you're allowed to have an opinion, some things are just objectively bad.Īt a surface level, single play through with out reading too deep into it, this game isn't all that bad. The module is best played by a group of 4-6 Server Vault characters starting at 3rd or 4th level, although the DM can adjust most of the encounters on the fly if necessary if the player characters are of different levels or numbers. As the module contains essentially five smaller modules connected by a single overarching plotline, it should be easy to add or subtract material as the DM sees fit. The material here was originally created to serve as a sequel to my 'Shades of Moonshae' campaign, which takes characters from level 1 to levels 3-4, but this module can easily be adapted to fit into any campaign world. This module is basically just a compilation of several of my one-shots into a lengthier, freeform campaign.
