Eyes of Eilistraee: Progress at last!

Workload for my day job has effectively put a hold on EOE development for Neverwinter Nights over the last 3 - 4 weeks. It's frustrating to have to drop everything then pick up where I left off, but that's life. The good news is I've put in a good few hours this week fixing bugs (some odd things happening when henchmen rejoin after dying and escaping prisoners running away without stopping to thank the PC for freeing them - how rude), developing areas with groups of placeables that fit the theme for that area and generally tidying up content that was added a while ago but still felt a bit unrefined.

Garron the ranger is officially out as a starting henchman and will be replaced with Lina Ghostwhisper. She's a different sort of character - a bit more light-hearted and fun. Speaking of Openings the starting area of Sundabar's East Gate (see the city screenshot from the toolset) has undergone a few significant changes to make it feel a bit more closed and imposing. A few of the encounters that the player could have on the city streets have been moved to a tavern as they make sense as more private affairs.

The mid section of the module - where the player gets a significant choice over which path they take - still requires work to ensure that both paths diverge successfully and that the player can complete the goals has he/she wishes to and that the game world reacts accordingly.

Keep you posted.
