I've never used one of these. There are better free options. The artist(s) did a fine enough job, it just isn't something that should be paid content
If you loved the game on Armor Games or Kongregate, you know what you are getting here and will love it. I actually loved the original, and beta tested this a couple of years ago. Now I finally own it. I don't recommend it for extended play though. It's just not a healthy game with the repetitive motions the training aspect of the game has you do (just like the Flash game). Play the training in brief sessions.
Before the first version of this collection came out, the DOSBox versions of Aladdin, The Lion King, and The Jungle Book were $10 each and went years without going on sale. Now we get MULTIPLE VERSIONS of each game for the same price, the Capcom version of Aladdin, saves, rewind, watch (that you can fast forward and start playing where you want), and loads of museum features including art and interviews. You get all of this for literally the same price as buying all of the barebones DOSBox versions you got before. Great games. Great collection. Great value.
I thought my DLC was missing too (on Steam). Rather, Eternal Embers is installed. It is just not available at every difficulty level. Your character must be Legendary or you must create a new Legendary character in order to play Eternal Embers. Now go and enjoy this awesome game :)
I hate to say this, but this is the worst RPG I've ever seen. And that's saying something because I was excited for some Planescape. I don't mean this as bashing. It's just buggy and poorly designed. The reviews on Steam say it all pretty well, at least at the time of this review. I'm fine with the high role-play, low combat design. The trouble isn't the writing either. It was done well enough. The problems are the bugs (at launch at least), the day cycle design being too forced, companions not having much purpose (at least at first, I'm not sure about later), no XP gained for making the story progress, a serious lack of meaningful NPC interactions, and the lack of logical responses by NPCs (I sneak into areas right in front of city officials, and they don't do anything? Come on!). I am disappointed because I want to see new official content made for the game, especially that isn't in the Forgotten Realms. But this isn't the way to go about it.
I had previously rated this lower because it didn't have FLAC (Darkness over Daggerford had MP3 and FLAC for the same price). GoG and Beamdog fixed this. Support deleted my old review for me since it was inaccurate now. I'm glad they listened and made FLAC format available. Great music for a great game, and now it's available in a high quality format!
This is a fantastic game and worth it's price. The story is well done, and the voice acting is great (though inconsistent--some characters you'd expect to have it don't). You get plenty of fun game play for the price you pay. A few things prevent it from being a five star game to me. The side quests were less compelling to me than Daggerford, but on par with or better than Alezander's other work (this is an enhanced and expanded version of his third module). Early game I noticed some players may not be ready for the fights with the gear made available to you. I had luckily gone through other modules and through some Infinite Dungeons to get from level 14 to 15 so I had some gear to prevent major damage and status effects. Mid to late game seems plenty fair though. I would not recommend going in expecting to role play a certain alignment and be able to keep it, especially anything involving neutral. This module is a bit heavy handed with alignment choices, not always giving clear Good/Bad or Lawful/Evil dialogue even though it treats them as such (though some are good). A few dialogues do not give enough dialogue choices to avoid lawful/evil points or good/bad points (neutrals will have a fit trying to stay neutral). I did manage to get around it, but it wasn't fun and it involved dumb work-arounds like walking away from NPCs to avoid dialogues. Regardless of the flaws and bugs still existent in Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition, your money will be well spent here. In my experience, Ossian Studio's work is going to be better than playing other modules including the official campaigns. Also, to Beamdog's work in publishing this, I give that specifically a 0/5. I had to buy NWN:EE all over again on GoG when I should've been able to buy it from them directly. On the bright side, at least I got the whole game DRM free now. Beamdog needs to learn to treat customers better and coordinate releases and patches instead of doing so haphazardly.
