“Thus the name” is my favorite running joke and it makes me laugh every time

Honestly? Fascinated. Would love a part 2. It's kinda a shame that all these fan made modules have been forgotten.

About nationality of the author of this mod i can pretty safely assure, that she is from Germany or Austria. In this interview, when she was talking about Adults Only rating in games consisting sexual content, she used term: Ego-shooter - the term used only in German language describing FPS games.

That's why I love Warlockracy, he makes videos that I wish existed 10 years ago.

Holy shit I can't believe you did a thing for THIS of all modules. One thing I always found funny about it is that it was literally never made to see the light of day: The creator and writer for it was basically building it as a personal smut fantasy when her friend saw it and told her she should publish it.

"Saying yes to the creep leads to a cool side adventure" I don't think I'd describe being trafficked as a cool adventure, but sometimes you just gotta make the best of a bad situation

Neverwinter Nights content is like crack to a past-addict who's ready to start again

I hope this takes off. Discovered a Dance with Rogues a few years back and was blown away by how *competent* it was. The scripting is seriously complex, the logic behind XP gain really encourages playing a rogue, and the story, despite large amounts of horni, is honestly pretty engrossing and full of fun characters. You can tell the author was inspired by A Song of Ice and Fire, and put that inspiration to good use.

Glad to hear everything is going well. A surprise visit from the FSB would be a little spooky, but im glad it ultimately didnt go anywhere. Best of luck in your future content and in life man

New Warlocracy video? What did we do to deserve such treasure?

31:00 Yes! Yesyesyesyes yes YES! This is so important and I'm so glad you brought it up! I've often heard people criticize some RPGs for failing to have "real" choices. Bringing up how you have a bunch of different options for what to say but all leading to the same conclusion. What does it matter, they say, whether you respond to someone with active interest, neutrality, disinterest or hostility if the conversation concludes the same way? And the answer is exactly what you described, because it changes how you the player feels about the conversation and situation! Just because a choice doesn't change what ending you get, or cause mechanical changes, doesn't make it not a real or valid choice.

Holy fuck i haven't thought about NWN, much less this ancient fan module in over a decade. You are a man of culture Mr. Warlockracy

A Dance with Rogues is one of my greatest loves, truly I love this mod and all its faults! all the characters and narrative are so well made, as a woman I really felt seen when I played this, it's definitely not for all people but not everything needs to appeal to a majority. edit* adwr borrows many well-loved throps from the dark romance community, you can find a lot of these fetish elements in romance books such as A Court of Thorns and Roses, From Blood and Ash, Bow Before the Elf Queen etc. I can understand why people might be confused by some of these dark and se*ual aspects, and why a woman would want them in her game. But I can assure you there is a very big audience of women who loves these stories, and to see that represented in a game modual so well made and old is such an amazing experience. Not to mention the wonderful character journey the princess go on, I love how there are so many personalities you can adopt to your princess, making each playthrough feel just a little different than the last.

Most of my expirience with nwn actually comes from playing this module, the sheer number of ways you can express yourself during dialogue (even if it's just flavor text) is something that no fancy 3D graphics and voice acting can beat. Descriptive text is where it's at for RPG's.

The biggest challenge about this module is finishing it without having all your character's holes stuffed.

When i saw the whole video. I am so impressed by the creator's way thinking. She implemented like making femininity part of in game mechanics. It gives me ideas to think when thinking of making my own rpg. Very inspiring this passion project is. I would love to see more games made by her.

As a fellow russian speaking person living abroad, I have huge mad props to you. Love your videos, your voice, the narrative and your choice of material.

Congrats on the upcoming wedding. May you roll high on the check.

I love you Warlockracy, the effort you put into documenting obscure RPG stuff is fabulous. And to do all this while getting harassed by the fucking FSB, just legendary.

I remember hearing about this way back, it was a very popular pr0n game for a generation. The sex scenes are so abundant and explicitly written that it worked for people. IIRC the first place I saw this game mentioned was alongside Violated Heroine and Rapeplay on a 4chan board. Don't expect to ever see youtube videos on those two. >__> I even have vague memories of trying it. I have no idea when I did, but I do remember playing it... It was a bit too dreary for my tastes though. But I don't like A Song of Ice and Fire either. The game really makes you feel like a vulnerable woman in an occupied country, and how terrifying it would be. As to why I was on a 4chan board in the early 2010's looking at a list of different pr0n games.... uhh.... _look over there!_

With a bit more clarity, this was without a doubt one of the best written modules in NWN. And definitely one of the most consumable ones. I play it every few years with fond memories, this and Prophet remain as my favorites of all time. And I'm glad to see some more eyes drawn to it, and now I watch.

'A Dance with Roguea' otherwise known as 'Forgetting Cora Marshald' was both interesting and quite possibly just an effort to write in more sex dialogue than previously considered artful. I give it 5 boobs out of 2

I remember reading about this mod around the time I was playing the game. The way it was described by a 3rd party website ("guys, it has sex in it!one") wasn't all that enticing and I wasn't that excited about NWN in the first place, so I never gave it a second thought. This video kinda makes me want to come back to it. I'm always interested in the attempts at making games in a typically combat oriented genres with a non combat focused design, and it seems to be the approach here. I'm probably not autistic enough to actually try to play it because of that, but I would love a video on part 2.

We need more women making RPGs. This looks very interesting and i wish this kinds of quests would be available for all RPG games. At least as a DLC for adults.

Can't wait for the eventual Vegas playthrough video, thanks for the amazing video as always Warlockracy

This is a rare masterpiece I doubted would ever see the light of day on place like KZfaq. Since it contains a lot of taboo subjects never ever dared in other video games any author would get so much flak they may never do anything in public again. I can understand why the author never went public about their creation but still it does deserve to be highlighted and not just fade into obscurity for the tiny minority even playing Neverwinter Nights modules. I remember when the old NWNVault died, canceled by their host with not a care in the world for prosperity or preserving the many creations submitted to it. I thought that was it, the end for this and many other modules I played but thankfully I was wrong. Before established "social media" the downloaders reuploaded all the content to the new vault. The wiki for this particular module also is to thank for much of the preservation. It should be noted that the author Valine has changed huge portions of this module several times over which may bring a weird replayability value for those trying an older version. But maybe not. You'd have to run older versions of the game including Hak paks, resorting in something similar to DLL dependency hell, familiar to many software developers alike. To even have that experience you need the module open in the toolset while playing to debug and fill the gaps left by missing component and enter commands manually to bypass them. Anyway, here I go ranting about details only other nerds will care about. What I wanted to say is thank you, for giving this obscure piece of video gaming history some justice. This review is superb and somehow you manage to keep it approved and kosher to KZfaqs community guidelines, an achievement in itself. Great work 👏

Haven't hated a fictional character as much as I hate Vico. That's a great thing. Also, I LOVE the multitudes of responses the game allows. Despite having spoken languages to convey what we feel, we usually use body language to convey feelings. The nods, blushes, and uncomfortable shifts are very refreshing responses despite giving little to no change on outcomes. That's peak roleplaying. Such a shame that the Ravenstower was changed to Castle Crossing, though. Getting out of Betancuria (and the unending rain!) was a real breath of fresh air.

12:55 those Golems look like the automatons from Titan Quest. 38:29 And that guy has the face of Zez-Kai El, one of the Jedi masters from Knights of the Old Republic 2.

It's strange, I started playing Neverwinter Nights for the first time earlier this week, so this video is actually a bit more exciting than the usual uploads for me.

This channel is a gold mine for a boomer like me Arcanum, Deus ex, Morrowind, Fallout mods... Thanks man. Hope some day you do a video on Arx Fatalis

Super interesting, definitely didn't expect coverage of a mod like this but it was super fun to watch! Would absolutely love a part two, honestly kind of invested in the story now heh. As always, great content Warlockracy.

I fully confess to writing as part of a giant universe scale scifi series that absolutely is a set up for sex. And space battles. Which is a great add on for sex if you ask me. And that's fucking wild that you've gotten a visit from the FSB. Do be safe hoss.

Yeah.. part 2 would be really nice. This was as bizarre and interesting as always, Mr Warlock. Thanks, cheers & stay frosty out there.

Just a tip to whoever watches this video and decides to play the module: The CONSTITUTION you set the princess changes the size of the breasts considerably. 16 being max and 8 being minimum. it changes some dialogues and interactions. The princess LAST NAME will be the name of the Family used on dialogue. Bump up your BLUFF skill in the begining and learn to play Lier Dice, AKA 66, you can thank me later. The PAINTINGS you find underneath the Dhorn adiministrations can be hanged, so buy bags to take them out of there and store them somewhere before you finish your lessons. There is no such thing as a dead end, use the SEARCH SKILL to check up every wall, in time you'll have a third sense to find secret passages. If you have the apartment before starting "Uncovering The Dhorn Spies" your ex roomate "Trissa" is going to show up, if you bed her you can UNLOCK A SECRET COSMETIC item. THE NECKLACE BORIS DROPS after dying is used in the temple underneath the city to check up in what path you are on on the 13th steps. To enter the BLUE SWAN you'll need a modest dress. And also, thats where the Lier Dice comes into play. That sidequest is important later. AND WHATEVER YOU DO, DONT ENTER THE SWAN AND MAIDEN!!!!!!

I totally get talking about this as a George RR Martin thing, but the "Nobody is likely to recognize her with ash on her cheeks and broken fingernails from scrubbing pots" feels very Robert Jordan. Dude talked A LOT about scrubbing pots.

I know this is one of your lesser viewed videos but I rewatched this 5 times at least and need part 2 desperately. Do it for the people, do it for the culture but most importantly do it for the sex smelling dragon and the guy that likes ostriches.

I also suggest the Swordflight module series, it's a great blend of roleplaying, exploration and combat, the author managed to make interesting solo fights and dungeon in NWN, and there is so much content and details it could be a full game

ADWR ??!!!! A TRUE MAN OF CULTURE... the rabbit hole of mods for Neverwinter Nights 1... what memories, there is a fan offshot, called "a dance with spies"

38:26 Master Zez-Kai Ell was hiding from the sith in neverwinter before moving to Nar-Shadaa

I've actually played an older version of the module and I'm kind of sad to see that the winter kingdom got modified so heavily. In that version, the dragons were the members of the royal family that imprisons you. The detective work and the intrigue actually leads to reviving a king and a battle in the castle in which two of the king's kids turn into dragons and the epic battle ensues. And then the daughter uses her dragon form to fly you back to Betancuria. You can brag to Vico about it later. Actually, it seems like a lot of the plot from the later parts of the mod content has been changed in ver.2 and a lot of it has been sacrificed in order to make it all more visually appealing. Idk how to feel about this

Ready for part 2, need to see what happens to Cora and the crew

I think the Herbal Contraception Tea should have been named 'sterilitea'.

I absolutely loved playing A Dance with Rouges. I first tried it in 2019 and have finished it in a week. It is the best module one can play in NWN, no other one can measure. While I do know that there are other good ones to play, for instance The Prophet, No Honor Among Thieves, Demonheart, Bastard of Kosigan and many others that keep popping up in the best module pole, some of which I have played too, they are only half good IMO. It felt so good playing a rouge, I never knew how resourceful they could get. The author successfully showed us the use a rouge could have, in contrast to the typical fantasy type, who offer some ranged damage assistance and open a few locks here and there, but nothing much else. ADWR has what I deem important for a quality game - good story, well written dialogue, good and clever use of mechanics, not too much fighting (I tire of constant fights that almost all RPGs have), original ideas not used in a game before, feeling of making a choice that actually changes your gaming experience and overall content meant for adults, to which I say, why not? Since many adults play video games, I do not understand the need to tone down some themes. As a kid I thought how important it was to be able to digest darker and heavier themes since I believed that would make me more mature and more ready for the real world. Video games, like all types of media, expose us to the human condition, which can be used to prepare us for real life tragedies. Deep down, we all have a need to process something darker from time to time, it cannot be all sunshine and smiles. And I have noticed that you have played the enhanced version of this module. I have played the latest version meant for NWN Diamond. The difference between those two lie not only in the graphics, but also in the different chronological order some quests were given. For instance, the player gets teleported with Pia in the second part in the older version, not in the first and yes, the area around the castle should have been overfilled with snow. Too bad not many players have heard of this module since today more than ever we thirst for quality stories.

I remember this module back in zee day. I don't think I ever played another module that made me care about the main character on a personal level more. In so many modules, the main character is a kind of blank slate that just sort of inhabits the game world. But this felt more like an interacting novel, and the Princesses journey was deeply personal and, at times, emotional. It was dark. Seriously, seriously dark. But an incredible story that build to a satisfying conclusion. Of course, I got my happy ending with my hot lesbian love interest.

I went and played this module because of this video and enjoyed it quite a bit. I'm not usually into stuff that veers this far into like, "trashy" territory or whatever, but I found the idea of this niche passion project with this level of competent design really fascinating. A lot of stuff about it made me honestly pretty uncomfortable, but I pushed through since I love stories about thieves and rogues and I got so into playing the role of the princess making her way through this underworld and becoming an experienced professional that I got really hooked. I also enjoyed the focus on stealth thief gameplay, and the fact that pretty much anything *will* kill you in the beginning really made the progression feel real. I'll probably end up playing part 2 eventually. Thanks for doing this!

I still play on never winter nights multiplayer, the server is called 'City of Arabel' and it is very narrative and story driven with a DM team sometimes seeming as large as the player base. It supports a lot of things - including changing the setting in its entirety. If you want to go and asassinate the King? Sure you're gonna have to work extremely hard because - well, he's the King, he's prepared for such things, But you CAN kill him. Want to start a revolution and deposethe king, Queen, all of his nobles french revolution style? It's gonna depend on how many players support you as it's gonna involve some heavy player versus player conflicts but it can be done. Want to open a portal to the hells and make demonic pacts? You can do this - Sure when goodly characters find out your lifespan is going to be a head shorter but you CAN do it if you're sneaky enough, and evil clerics are not silenced on sight, conflict is encouraged.

As someone who's actively addicted to nvn modules i need to thank you. Quite a lot of them are genuinely great experiences and adwr part 1 felt like the most polished one.

Neverwinter 1 is one of *those* games. Very special, especially if you played it when it first came out. For me, it was my first real PC RPG on my own PC that I built as a pre-teen with chore and birthday money. It was the summer, and I stayed up every night until about 2 AM playing it. I was so into it that I kept a journal -- in character -- and just thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. Some of the best memories of my otherwise pretty unhappy early days.

Warlock consistently putting out the best gaming videos on the platform. This was spectacular

I like smut games that don't forget to be good games first, to be honest I've been pondering around getting Neverwinter just to play this module. In fact it seems to be one of the most thought out experience in the genre, seeing how outfits affect your stats and all, sexuality really got integrated as a gameplay mechanic which is great.

After playing Age of Decadence inspired by your video I'm now playing this. Really enjoying it, just amazing to think it was made by a savant developer that knew barely anything about video games or game development. The reactivity is good and the mod keeps surprising me. I hope you'll do ADWR part 2. I'm really curious, but it seems technically janky.

Thank you finding this gem and Valine for making it. It's the best mod for any game I've ever played. Hell, someone could remake this in a fancy engine and it would be one of the greatest RPG of all time.

it is really interesting how big this authored-by-women grimdark sex fantasy scene actually is if you poke around, content like this is like the tip of the iceberg, even if it's like arguably the most impressive offering. i wonder how much of the tes side of this community is people like this. really interesting module, and something i actually bumped into while perusing modules to coop with a friend, so it was cool to see this video pop up

31:56 - "Perhaps the real gauntlets of ogre power were the friends we made along the way..." 🤣

We’re getting closer and closer to hentai game reviews and I don’t know what to do

Kinda sad that NWN modding community didn't get much attention outside of NWN. There are some hiddem gems. and well hours of rpg content

In this Episode of Warlockracy, can he find love???

"I read somewhere that the constitution score affects rack size." Instant download.

The return of the soy cheese. Warlockracy cinematic universe has so much sprinkled into every new addition. Glad you're still doing well, despite recent events. Always a highlight of the month when you upload, can't wait to see what comes next.

I would love to see a part two, we have unfinished business with Vico. I'm also busy going through the Pathfinder and Spellforce games... I don't have time for Neverwinter right now.

congrats on the wedding! how could ive missed this mod back in the days.. this one is a hidden gem. NWN has been pivotal in terms of how gaming itself impacted on my aspirations and career path. huge props for this vid, you the man!

Still looking forward to Mask of the Betrayer at some point lol.

If this had anymore assault I'd think it was written by Steven Seagal.

Stuff like this is why youre one of my favorite reviewers, absolutely niche and hidden modules and games that I would never hear about or really give a chance by playing and you effectively summarize and give commentary and basically all the core parts of the game. Keep it up my man.

Well, I gave up on this module after the first conversation with that jealous girl in the brothel. Perhaps there was a good rpg there afterall, but I couldn't handle the atmosphere. Stay safe brother!

You know what romance game I am really curious about? That Fallen London series dating game. I really wanna know how that'll end up.

YES!! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO FOR FOREVER! This mod was my first introduction into RPG's and RPG modding, albeit at a young age, i loved this mod

Goddammit, Jesus-fuck, man. That sudden cut to LL made me spit out my tea.

Best neverwinter fanmade module.

Oh how awesome.... I'm super digging everything about the backstory of this and the person who made it, right down to the whole obvious inspiration from the ASoIaF books when they were relevant in fantasy circles and before it became a big mainstream thing with the HBO adaptation (which I had serious problems with from the first season, couldn't keep watching because I felt like they were screwing up or leaving out really important parts right from the start... and I felt so validated in that judgement when it came out what utter frauds the showrunners were, and how they immediately made it obviously awful to everyone as soon as they ran out of material to adapt)... just the whole idea that something like this was the product of exposing an intelligent 12 year old girl to some... yes, definitely age inappropriate material.... in the ASoIaF books and then being given the freedom to create something in Neverwinter Nights when she was older... lol I almost feel compelled to play this, like I would regret it if I didn't now that I know about it : D Thank you for doing this video, I'm going to have to learn how to play NWN now just for this lol

Neverwinter Nights was my favorite game growing up and is still in my top 5.

I wasn't expecting this modules haha. It is one of my favorites

Ok, maybe I won't go to bed yet

I love how you run past two people screwing while charging a gelatinous cube

7:50 you brought lube. From past experiences with the swingers community, that earns you reputations.

Oh wow, a surprise but a welcome one, legit one of the best rougue RPG experiences out there.

One more for good measure but I was surprised to see she'd come back again to update the thing. I've played this a few times and some of the features and even whole aspects of the story have changed over the years. A new ending was even added after long enough(for the whole series). Hyath used to not even be a demon but some kind of powerful psychic thing that was nesting in your head. More mind flayer, and it was pretending to be a dragon. A whole castle intrigue thing was added in chapter two. The painter who gets caught used to be a man. And seeing updated in 2020 on it and all the different assets she added in the new update continues to amaze. The fact I can come back to this thing and be experiencing not just something old, but something new gets my spirit jazzed for another run at some point this year.

The neverwinter community was actually huge, it was just all online. The single-player content for the game (both official and fan-made) was experienced by a tiny percentage of those playing the game in the early 00's. Sadly those servers and the fan-made mini-mmos they once contained are mostly lost to history.

This is the first I’ve seen of Warlockracy, but I need/want more. I never expected to see such an adventure where the protagonist makes so many choices that I would have. I hope this comment, my like, and subscription will encourage more of the same. Best of luck to you. I believe the world is improved by thoughtful content like this.

NEVER WIN ter nights

Great video my guy! I started playing NWN for the first time a little bit ago and your teaser of Twitter totally made me think this was gonna be a vid on the original campaign lmao. This was definitely a lot more interesting

These videos always make my day Looking forward to play this module

I’d love to see part 2! NWN 1 is such an underrated game!

Crazy to see this module in action again after so long - this is what I got NWN off ebay for ten or so years ago, but while the actual roleplaying and RPG aspects of it were really good even back then, I was ultimately soured on it for the blatant porn-with-plot aspects. Nothing inherently wrong with it, but I wasn't into it. I still finished it, and it's interesting to see how it's evolved since way back then. I played back when the Sex-Sniffing Dragon was still a thing. It's fun to see that even more RPG elements were added in, like the make-up and attire bonuses. Prophet and Honor Among Thieves are both really good - with HAT being a less sexed-up take on rogue-dominated NWN gameplay. Much shorter than this, though. Keep up the good work.

Good video Warlock. I wish your continued health and success.

I had heard of A Dance with Rogues but never actually seen a break down of it. I'm blown away by just how slick and professional the presentation was (for 2006 RPG) that didn't shy away from unpleasant subject matter and actually forced the player to role-play as something other than a murder-hobo in their RPG - imagine that. I'd love to see a part 2 to finish this off.

I'm glad you were able to get your thumbnail artist out.

Seems like the module has changed since I last played it as at the end of part one there was a civil war in the family between members who wanted to sell you out and members who did not want to and the barony was the snowy one I probably should give it a re download

Always happy to see another of your uploads, cheers

i know in these days of war its hard, but i love yours shit and i hope that makes life little eazier.

I love your videos, such masterpieces.

"...she isn't broken by her tragic past..." (paraphrasing) Man, sometimes my brain is like that tree, and you're like those elves scurrying around in there, making cookies! 👍

It's Yours first video that caused me to do this, but I can't watch it anymore. Have to pause it in the middle and try the module for myself, haha.

Absolutely fascinating. Please do part 2.

you always make great wojack characters for your videos, keep up the amazing work

Current porn game market is still largely indy and indy+, but the variety of gameplay and art styles is much richer thanks to patreon and steam making them commercially viable and free engines reducing skill floor. Hundreds of games for most tastes(dozens if rape or incest are a deal-breaker).

I'm pretty sure this game double the average on how many times an average rpg strips you of your armor and clothes.

This is like if someone took that the Book of Erotic Fantasies from D&D... and converted it to PC... I'm super interested in the continuation just because you're playing/roleplaying for real and not just using the writing as a joke punching bag.
