Darkness over Daggerford is a classic Dungeons & Dragons® module for BioWare's award-winning
PC role-playing game Neverwinter Nights™. Taking place in the Forgotten Realms, the most popular
of the D&D; settings, and produced by former BioWare producer Alan Miranda, Darkness over Daggerford
gives players a 25-30 hour RPG with a strong Baldur's Gate feel.
Developed by Ossian Studios for over a year (and previously a BioWare Premium Module),
the game achieved instant success in the NWN community with a never before seen response at
IGN's Neverwinter Vault, breaking records for meeting all Hall of Fame requirements in less than 3 days!
The Darkness over Daggerford development team is made up of some of the most talented members of the
NWN community, including Kevin Smith (aka codepoetz), Luspr, Brian Watson (aka MadWombat), Alan Tarrant
(aka Lord Alex), Anya Clancy (aka Lady Oonagh), and Brian Dunn (aka BrotherRoth).
Features :
- A brand new world map system, never before seen in Neverwinter Nights, enabling the player to
better explore a large world, complete with random encounters.
- A player stronghold to enable more challenging stronghold quests, and featuring cool player
customization features.
- 3 new TNO tilesets created by DLA and released to Ossian Studios through an exclusive
agreement with BioWare, including a completely new exterior tileset with rolling hills, sea
cliffs, and castles.
- A custom spawning and leveling system for creatures, to always ensure the game is challenging
for any level of character.
- Over 100 new placeables made specifically for the game.
- 5 new music tracks by premium module composer
David John.
To many, the town of Daggerford is of little consequence. To others, however, it is of
immeasurable value. The nearby great cities of Waterdeep and Baldur's Gate would do well to
look over their shoulders at what is brewing in this once sleepy town. Prepare to delve into
the dark mysteries surrounding Daggerford...

GamerDad 4.5/5 Stars
"Daggerford is more than just my favorite NWN module to date, it is my favorite role-playing game of
2006 thus far." ... "It is perhaps ironic that my favorite of the Premium Modules is the one that was
cancelled and released for free. That aside, this is just a tremendous game - and I can't think of it
as anything but a 'game'. It has as much content as either of the NWN expansion packs, and is larger
and more interesting than many full-priced role-playing games being released."
Neverwinter Vault 8.5/10, Reviewer's Award
"As a whole, Daggerford offers a wonderful gaming experience that should rank it among the most
impressive, not to mention ambitious modules released this year, if not in the history of Neverwinter Nights."
Computer Games Magazine (Nov. 2006 issue)
"Many Neverwinter Nights conventions have been turned on their Elven ears here, courtesy of an
expansive new world map that gives the module a spacious feel and extensive dialogue that makes
the game play like a lost chapter in the Baldur's Gate series."
Fan Responses
"One of the best NWN modules I've ever played. Great tilesets, awesome world map, engrossing story
line. This is what a NWN expansion should look and play like. Looking forward to seeing what
Ossian Studios puts out next! Two thumbs up!"
"Exceptional balance of story line and combat. Much less driven by gamey gimmicks than is average,
even for professional titles. It was very fun. You guys managed to direct me in such a way I never
had to wonder where to go next, but I also never felt like I was trapped on too linear a path,
something I don't see many developers capable of doing with story-driven RPGs these days. It's
also exciting to see this much innovation in a free module, knit so neatly together. I forgot
that I was playing NWN."
"This is the module that every modder has ever wanted to make, but didn't. AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME!
Three thumbs up! I give it six stars out of five. Ossian Studios® Inc. has raised the bar. And every
other cliché that says how great something is applies as well. Of course, this translates into hard
news for modders. Henceforth, this shall be the standard by which all other mods are measured."
"Darkness over Daggerford is by far the best mod I have ever played, better even than the
campaign modules; something I had never expected to see. I loved every minute of this mod.
Except the credits. I was crying."
