The Witcher - Medical Problems Mod
by Dhruin, 22:43
The Witcher site is pointing out a new adventure mod called Medical Problems, hosted at ModDB. Here's the description:
Description:
Shani needs help fighting an epidemic of a new, unknown sickness. But what could a monster slayer possibly do about a medical problem?
The game has several different possible endings, depending on which choices you make while playing. Three choices each have consequences, making eight different paths through the game, and which ending you get depends on the combination of choices.
Geralt has monsters to kill, human lives to save, a mystery to solve, and witcher contracts to fulfill. There are also some ladies to woo, though all but one of them are optional.
Features:
* 12 quests (only 11 of which can be completed in any one game, since two of them are mutually exclusive)
* 45 NPC's, all of which have names and conversations of their own.
* 18 explorable areas plus three special areas, with 19 new loading screens
* 40 monsters to kill
* 6 sex cards to get, including one new one and 5 recolored ones
* Many, many recolors of clothes
* Approximately three hours of gameplay
"I've been playing computer games since the days of Hack (the one BEFORE Nethack), and my favorite games are RPG's. Somehow, the exact same gameplay appeals to me more if it's swords against ghouls than if it's blasters against aliens. Even though I love reading science fiction and have read tons of it, for some reason I don't especially like SF games; I much prefer a fantasy setting. I really enjoyed Might & Magic 6 and 7 and Baldur's Gate, and even though I usually prefer PC games, I really liked Dragon Quest VIII. My favorite game, though, is The Witcher. I'm a middle-aged woman, and a lot of games seem somewhat childish to me, whereas the Witcher has enough depth and ambiguity to appeal to a mature gamer. The attention to detail in the game is just staggering, and it was clearly a labor of love, done by those who adored the novels on which it was based. I've made my own adventure for The Witcher, called "Medical Problems," and will soon start work on Chapter Two."
