Witch's Wake Review at GamersClick
Posted Wednesday, December 11, 2002 - 16:07 CET by Mollusken

GamersClick have played the beta version of Witch's Wake: Fields of Battle, and they have written a review based on that experience. Here's an excerpt:

While the original campaign found in NWN was great, there were certainly some valid complaints to be made regarding it. To alleviate some of those issues, several mods have popped up online tweaking general game concepts. The Hardcore Ruleset (HCR) module makes substantial changes to the general game rules - penalties for resting while wearing armor have been included, and there have also been tweaks to the death system to more closely match 3rd Edition D&D rules, for example - and Witch's Wake uses a modified version of the Hardcore Ruleset. Also included is a customized death system, improved henchman/familiar AI and control, and lootable corpses, which allows defeated enemies to leave corpses to be searched and gradually decompose, rather than simply disappearing instantaneously and leaving a bag containing some random treasure, as in the original module.
