    Yes, I had to create new characters. These are quickies (brief episodes), so this is not so much of a problem. The multiplay mods were....ok. You can use the multiplay as you would a singleplay mod, except you cannot save the game. You can however save your character and continue to play the episode. (die, host your network game, play, repeat) Your character does not loose levels (but does enter each game with only the starter stuff).

    One of the single play mods is fubar'd or the entrance to the otherside of the maze is hidden better than these old eyes can find.

    Personally, I was disappointed.

    If your internet connection is no better than a rusty soup can and a piece of string, perhaps not. Playing the mods gave me something different to do lastnight. There are a few new monsters in the mods and Zeebo, a new follower, is cute.

    Yah, a tiny zomby with max'd melee. He kicks pretty good. The bummer was not having anyone to identify items. I learned before to never equip stuff unknowns; but in that scenerio, I did not find any other choice. I had to start over once because the blade I was *guessing* to be the right one, wasn't.

    A touch that brought out a chuckle though was "Is Timmy in the well?" I played a half-ogre that time; but as usuall added one point on int to expand the initial dialogue options. I had to drink a bottle of wine to talk to "Lassie" in order to "open" or be able to access the passage through the well.

    At the start of your game, select the "Options" menu. On that screen you will find a tab labeled "module" which lists that module currently selected. Hit the arrow tab to the left or right of "module" to find the one you wish to play. After this, select "done." Now choose "New Game" and pick a character (premade or your own design). The gamesaves will be only on that module, so no chance of confusion. Of course, in multiplay, there is no gamesave option.

    Without being connected to the internet or a network, you may also play the multiplay mods. Just select "network" and later "host game." Take note of the options for setup and have fun.
