First thing's first; I made this DMOD so I will just vote close to the average.

This DMOD is greatly, greatly improved from the DMOD Moorack and the Pillbugs. At it's time it was probably an 8.5 but now it is knocked back because of the magnificence of Prophecy of the Ancients and such. The reviewers are pretty much correct on all aspects. Oddly enough my testers actually thought the ID grabbing was just AWFUL and they thought the dungeon was great. Weird huh? The music choice is one of my strengths and I think it fits the theme.

Yes there are two screenlocks that I remember and definatly not enough puzzles.

Overall: This dmod cannot hold it's own against a lot of those dmod's rated 9 or higher but it can give you a few hours of good times.

I just checked out this site again after 4 years and I am very displeased that the review database seems to be erased. My reviews of many mods and redink1's as well (which also included his in-depth review of this mod). Oh well, the current reviews of this mod seem fair.

NOTE: Learning to create DMOD's at age 13 really got me into programming/scripting and I would like to thank redink1 and the entire Dink Smallwood Community. Four years later, because of you all I have moved onto Morrowind Mod creation and other such ambitious projects.

The Cast wants to take over castle Goodheart and Dink has to stop them.

Storyline: It’s pretty much one quest. This D-mod gives more attention to fighting then story and plot.

Map and graphics: The map is mediocre. Not much details. Some screens are copied, which is not bad or wrong, but because they all have the same error (square boxes which don’t blend) you can not help but notice.

Music: Fits the situation.

Bugs: I encountered several screenlocks which wouldn’t unlock.

Good: It is quite obvious what to do. The map is quite small, which prevents you from endless wandering. I liked the part in the underground section with the guards in which you have to get several passes, ID’s and such to progress.

Not so good: There should have been more savebots and more ways to get healed. In the beginning of the game it is very hard to defeat the enemies, especially in the dungeon where are several screenlocks. I found only 1 potion, so you have to level up by fighting and that takes quite some time. You don’t get much lifepoints either – there are no gold hearts, so once again you have to be really strong before you can fight the tougher enemies like the bonca’s.

Overall: A straightforward little D-mod.

Fit for: Those who prefer fighting above a storyline.
