[MOD] Lost City

[Adrageron]

In search of a legendary elixir of youth, you hired a ship and set sail to the unknown waters of the Storm sea...
Open world adventure for a new party. Contains 20+ levels, one of wich is some sort of a town (quests, shop, etc.). Lots of secrets, puzzles and bosses. 3 different endings and 2 "secret" ways to win.
Expected playtime: 30-45 hours.

Welcome to the lost city of Al-Ator! Can you find the elixir? And more importantly, can you leave this place alive?

Few hints:
- Mod is quite challenging, it is recommended to choose easy or normal difficulty setting. Choose hard difficulty at your own risk >;)
- Alchemy and Air Magic skills can come in handy.
- The most obvious way is not always the easiest one.
- If the opponent is too strong - postpone this battle and look for weaker rivals.
-Try to save part of the consumables, they will be very useful in the later stages of the game.
- Watch for food supplies, characters can die of hunger.

Any feedback is welcome

Looks really nice so far. I'm liking it a lot.

There are minor cosmetic holes and asset clipping here and there, where some assetd don't play nice with others in their default positioning. Most of this is fixable via script; but so far none really needs it.

Standing on the pier allows one to see past the end of the ocean object. The pier itself could be raised just a bit, to remove the slight fall when climbing on to it.
The bridge allows the Troll to be one-shot killed (by purposely falling on it) —that can't be as intended, I think.

I am not a script master

Standing on the pier allows one to see past the end of the ocean object. The pier itself could be raised just a bit, to remove the slight fall when climbing on to it.

Do you mean raising terrain level? But this will dry water under the pier

Yes, I know that. I did not find an easy way to prevent this, so just left it as is. A little bonus for a lucky jumpers

The fixes for all of the mentioned issues would come from scripting. The asset clipping and holes can be fixed by nudging the object world positions in script when the map is loaded.
There might be an easy fix for the troll; I'll test it, and update my post on it when I get home in an hour or so...

Hi Adrageron and folks. Really a superb mod. Hours of brain storm. I managed to reach the top of the pyramid but it appears that there is no great finale. Am I correct ? There is no end, final big boss and the classic boarding the sky-ship scene ? A last question: in the alchemist lab I don't know if I placed all the correct ingredients nor the positive result. A secret ? You should add "success sounds" item by item. Poignon poiton shoud be the "brew of the beast" ? Which is the "serpent's gift: poignon potion or tail ? A walkthrough would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance and advise about your next mod. I am interested in it already.

Thanx for feedback, guys!
@matuto: It is a finale and cinematics along with the final boss, but they are not on the pyramid top
In the laboratory I specifically do not let player know which of the ingredients is correct. This is a complex and unnecessary task, you can finish mod without it. To check if the whole set of ingredients is correct, just press the button.
