Hi, I'd like to know if there are any good sandbox-type modules , but playable on single player or coop. Something with just a huge world with lots of places to explore and a bazillion unrelated quests to do instead the whole "savior-of-the-world-on-rails" usual stuff. In short, I'd like a bit of the feel and openness of a MMORPG but just for me and the occasional LAN party (yes I'm not very social regarding this stuff :))

Does anyone know of something like that?

I do not, but that does sound fun.

My next treasure hunt is probably going to be a NWN module. Maybe I'll make something small like that.

Well, talk about deja-vu. It turns out I started a thread about this same subject 3 years ago and I completely forgot:

http://www.gog.com/forum/neverwinter_nights_series/sandbox_type_modules

apart from self-embarrassment, I also have found a module which might suit my needs, so I'll link it here just in case someone else finds it useful:

http://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn1/module/shield-lands

If someone else knows of other modules in this style, please post them here.

By the way, I've also noticed the old nwnvault.ign.com has apparently vanished for the moment. Is it gone for good?

Yes, but most if not all of the content should be transferred to the new vault (which you seem to have already found) over time.

Though our module is not available for download, you CAN play a module very much as you describe, on our server 24x7.

CEP version 2.1 or better is required, our IP is 96.31.77.127

Be sure to run through our tutorial areas (aka Noob U.) to get a feel for the many enhancements we've added to NWN (swim fly climb jump, and lots more). 1337+ Areas - XP for exploration, RP, and kills (and more).

Hope to see you on the server. read more at p l a y n w n DOT c o m
