2006 NWN Module of the Year - My Predictions
I was just over reading my buddy Berliad's blog and I saw that he had a little preview of what promises to be something worth following in the upcoming weeks: The 2006 NWN Module of the Year contest.
I've only played 7 of the modules on the list...and 4 of them are my own. :) I have the most miniscule of hopes that I might get a bronze award with one of my mods (AoD or PtD most likely, I think)...I don't think I stand a chance against the big ringers like Darkness over Daggerford, AL3, ROE2 or Wyvern Crown. Still, one can always dream, right...?
Anyhow, I figured I think that Daggerford is going to take this contest by storm. I'm not sure about 2nd place, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Rose of Eternity 2 finishing strong in the rankings...I don't think Wyvern Crown will, but that's just me. AL3 will be an interesting one to watch...it was an extremely enjoyable module up until the ending, which (understandably--and that's another story for another time) sort of was a let-down. Still, what was there was just as good as anything from Daggerford, imo.
I think that a dark horse in this contest is going to be Prophet - Chapter 1 by Baldecaran. I'm not sure how many people have played that, but I think it must be the best mod I've played all-time, rivaled only by AL2. I know that my vote will go to Prophet...I would urge anyone who hasn't played it to place it at the forefront of their pre-voting playlists. It's truly outstanding.
The other mod I played that hasn't already been mentioned is Almraiven. When I say played, I don't mean finished, unfortunately--never did get to the end of this one. I was supposed to be a beta tester (and I was, sort of), but I did a pretty crappy job because I was still building on my own at the time. Still, what I saw of the module was pretty darn good, especially in terms of visuals. Not sure if visuals alone will be able to pull this one to the top...but you never know. :)
A few others I think will do well: Fall of Aielund Pt. 2 was at the top of the lists for, like, forever when it was released; if Savant's fans are still around, this one could do really well. I also think the A Dance With Rogues modules may perform well, despite (or perhaps because of) their extreme content.
Without further ado, my predictions:
1) Darkness over Daggerford
2) Rose of Eternity 2
3) Wyvern Crown of Cormyr
4) AL3
5) Fall of Aielund Pt. 2
6) ...ah, who cares at this point? :)
