    I've become thoroughly familiar with it by now, as I'm nearing a completed draft of a walkthrough for SP.

    Mixed feelings about it overall.

    A large part of me is asking if we even needed it to begin with. By analogy, can't we just accept Han Solo's boast that he did the Kessel run in under 12 Parsecs instead of having to make a whole movie showing it? I'm seeing SoD in a similar way. Rumors swirling that your character shares the same dark blood as Sarevok, and then Irenicus and his vampires take an interest in you. Yeah, that worked plenty well as a sequel hook on its own.

    The paltry selection of NPCs was another downer for me. Evil party, I want my Dwarf tank back dammit! :shake:

    Caelar was kind of flat and uninspiring for me as an antagonist. More like a character pulled out of the hat and contrived in order to set up a Belhifet tie in.

    It did have its good points though. The voice acting for Irenicus AKA The Hooded Man was a highlight for me, definitely David Warner worthy.

    And some of the combats even unmodded were a challenge.
