A July- December marathon, What's planned for IA V6 Options

[Sikret]

I will start working on IA v6 in July 2008 (I'm too busy till then to add any new major content to the mod, though if we happen to find any glitches or bugs in the current version of the mod, I will be here to fix and release new versions; but working on the nex big new version will be postponed to July) and will probably release it before the end of next year.

thetruth has given very good suggestions to me and we have good plans for IA v6. Other players' feedbacks about the content of the mod will also help me to enhance the mod further. For now the general outline of the new plans for IA v5 is as follows:

1- Adding a very big (huge) quest to the game which will probably contain a number of big quests inside itself.

2- Extended Twisted Rune (new big quest)

3- Expanded Fighter Stronghold

4- Improved TOB Final battle at throne of Bhaal

5- Expanded Druid Stronghold.

I will write more (and will add many more new features) as soon as we start working on it and I will pin this topic at that time. For now, I just wanted to say that we have our plans and new ideas for future and that you (everyone) should not hesitate to send me your suggestions for new quests/features to be added to the next version of the mod. This mod belongs to all who love it. (Of course, to be able to give good suggestions, you will probably need to play the current version of the mod completely for a couple of times with different classes and protagonists to see all of the existent features of the mod.)

Cheers

The spellhold's difficulty varies with party's power and level; hence, as far as the game's balance in concerned, we have little to worry about.

Going to spellhold with a 9th level party is a bit too soon, but even from a role playing point of view, you know that Imoen is not probably in immediate danger while some other people (in other quests in chapter 2) are in urgent and immediate need of your help. This can justify postponing the spellhold for a few weeks.

On the other hand, going to chapter 4 with a higher than 14th level party is also not recommended, though as I said, we don't need to worry about balance issues very much. As mentioned in the progress report pinnes thread, if you delay to go to spellhold, you will find out that Irenicus' control over spellhold has strengthen.
