I finished the main Crown of the Magister campaign and wanted to check out some of the custom ones while I ponder whether to create a new party for Palace of Ice or not.
I downloaded the top 20 or so custom campaigns from the workshop, but so far the first hour or so of the few I’ve tried haven’t been super gripping. I know that’s not much to judge them off, but it doesn’t help me decide if they’re worth continuing with.
Which ones get really good, in your opinion? I have the Unfinished Business mod for max level cap and more classes, but I’m not using the 6-man party option, which I know a few campaigns are tuned for.
Did you pick up any of the DLC? I think there are different versions or additional DLC right?
I’m thinking of picking it up too, but not sure if just the vanilla version will be ‘complete’ enough.
I got the Lightbringers (Complete) edition because some of the base classes and a couple races are locked behind DLC packs. I’m not too happy they did that, but it wasn’t that bad on sale. It looks like a lot of the custom campaigns require Palace of Ice because of items or monsters it added too. So I’d try to get the complete pack on sale.
Haven’t played any of the custom campaigns, but the game is very fun in terms of it’s mechanics (I’d argue it’s superior to even BG3 in that specific regard).
I didn’t create a new party for the expansion, but that’s largely because I set up the team to have abilities that all feed off each other for some truly disgusting amounts of damage.
Let the community know which ones of the custom campaigns you liked best. I’d love a reason to jump back into the game :-)
I bought it and played through the tutorial.
I haven’t touched it since. But I do think it’s a cool idea/game, as basically just a single player DnD campaign.
Playing it coop with friends is fun too, but you’ll have to coordinate who get which loot
I have the entire series sitting in my backlog. I’ll eventually get around to playing them. Possibly…
