I played the module once and thought it was pretty good  Great job on the module. I think this game has plenty of potential for modules, I know that thanks to the toolset I have had great success developing a very popular world.
Great job with the toolset on this module. I am sure you will have even more fantastic worlds in future.

I've always been a big fan of the Ravenloft setting and Strahd was one of my favorite characters in it, so when I saw that someone did "Spires of Ravenloft" I was looking forward to diving into that mod. That being said, I thought that Spires was a fantastic translation of the old adventure. The only drawback was the limited textures and that is no fault of the authors. A terrific job with what was available. |

Incredibly well done mod. The details he put into it were outstanding such as the portrait of tatyanna(sp?) on the easel and the little snippits, books etc.. It was an awesome thing to play that module and I hope Raven Builder does ALOT more mods. I check daily hoping to see something more from him/her. |

First, although we haven't quite finished it, myself and a friend have had great fun with this so far.
This may sound really picky - but spelling mistakes in a mod of this quality are really jarring!! Notable examples: the map says "Chruch" instead of church. A statue (I think in the area where Strahd's journal is) says "[Boxed Text]" before it's description. Strahd's journal itself is riddled with errors. As I said, I know it's picky, but as everything else is so good, it stands out.
The other major problem we had was with Ireena. I don't know if this is an Ireena scripting problem, or something intrinsic to NWN itself, so not pointing fingers!
1) Ireena dies in combat. I resurrect her using a scroll. She then stands still, won't follow us any more. If spoken to says "I'm already with someone". Asking her to leave party and rejoin doesn't work.
2) Ireena is injured, and goes down unconscious. Mouse tooltip on her says "injured". I use a healing kit which makes her "uninjured". However she satys lying on the floor! If we move away she stands up, runs after us, then when she gets within about 10' from us collapses again. She will partake in NPC conversations, but won't sing, fight or heal.
We're running patch 1.22. If these are NWN issues, no prob, but I thought I'd point them out as I haven't encountered these probs in the main campaign. Maybe someone who knows scripting can advise?
Looking forward to whatever the next project is immensely!

Fantastic Module. I recently DM'ed the paper version of it and found this to be pretty true-on. Only had two disappointments and that was the abilities of the Sun Sword weren't quite right and Strahd was toned waaaay down from what he is in the RL source material. I understand, though, why both of these were done. Sergei's Sun Blade would be incredibly uber in any other module and a correct Strahd would have been nearly unbeatable.
