I finally made it - the final battle

May 11, 2003 by Adam in NWN1

I finally made it - the final battle. I realize that final battles are cliché, but there's a certain expectation for them. Somehow I don't think you and your foe will settle it all over a nice cup of tea. The trick is to make the final battle interesting and varied, which can be difficult. Plus I'm trying to come up with ways for a clever person to make a battle easier.

I have made a ton of progress yesterday, scripting out more areas and sequences. I have one henchman's dialog to write, as well as tweaking his stats. Soon it may be time to start the polishing passes (sounds, transitions, flavor text, and so on). It's nice to approach the end of this massive module.

I'm already starting to take notes for my next project. I think I'm going to take the next one a bit slower. It's going to be pretty different, and I'll have to create some new systems from scratch. Could be a bit of a challenge.

On a personal note, my stepfather's funeral service was yesterday. It was nice, with lots of friends and family gathered.
