Module

Beta Testing for Nihil Trilogy II: Chains of Misfortune by seraphimsage
http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=nwn2communitynews.Detail&id=338

Thanks to the Alpha Testers: kamal, Arkalezth, and CaptainZombieYeti. With their help I’ve finally reached a point where the Beta Version(which includes the last parts of the mod just up to before the ending scenes) is now ready.

Now with the Beta’s Release more help is needed to iron out the last bugs, and other mis-sights that remain and some that may have been introduced. So if time allows I would appreciate it if any new or old testers can do a play-through of this mod to help identify those issues before its release. As always credit will be given to those who do. Thanks.
