The Avid & Apathy Chapter 1 [V0.3.1]

FORWARD
----------------------------------------------------
This is an extremely early alpha of the module, and currently exists largely to get feedback on the direction of the gameplay mechanics. A large number of planned features have not yet been implemented and the story is not yet complete. Some gameplay glitches may also occur.

Avid & Apathy is being developed from a "gameplay first" perspective. That is, the full story will only be implemented after the new gameplay mechanics are functioning. The story, as is currently planned, is meant to be a personal revenge tale focused on the concept of a flawed protagonist.

As the mod is still in early alpha, combat has not yet been adequately balanced. Save often, and there's no shame in turning on God Mode.

Features that are currently implemented are:
-Recruiting Nomads and pride building
-Adrenaline System
-Mission selection
-Planning Nomad loadouts before missions
-Weapon, firearms and spell merchants
-Hazard Pay
-Firearm Ammunition mechanics.
-Contraband confiscation
-Character Relationships
-Conquest and Assassination missions.
-Sponsorships

Features that have not yet been implemented are:
-Cosmetic Respect mechanics
-Sponsorship special weapons.
-Skirmish and Retrieval missions
-Complete plot


Installing
----------------------------------------------------
To install the mod manually, simply drop all folders in the .rar file into your "Documents\Neverwinter Nights" directory. Windows should automatically merge mod files with existing NWN folders. If updating from an earlier version of the mod, let Windows overwrite all existing versions of files. The module should now be available in your custom module list from the Neverwinter Nights main menu.

Those with access to the Steam version of Neverwinter Nights should subscribe to this mod on the Steam workshop for quicker access to updates, available at https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1349003658

-----------------------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS
-----------------------------------------------------
1. Neverwinter Nights Enhanced Edition.
2. CEP 2.65 (https://neverwintervault.org/cep)
3. D20 Modern Mod 2.2 (https://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn1/hakpak/combined/d20-modern-haks-version-22)
(NOTE: Newer versions of D20 Modern Mod above 2.1 may cause tileset conflicts and improper heads. To be fixed in a later update.)


----------------------------------------
WARNINGS
----------------------------------------
- A human, elf or half-elf character, age 18-35 and at level 1 to 5 is recommended.

- This module will make changes to whichever character you use, including changing subrace and eliminating their existing equipment permanently.

- This module was not designed or tested using the Hardcore Rules mode. Since the game deliberately breaks some D&D rules, I would not advise any player attempt to complete the module on Hardcore mode.

----------------------------------------
KNOWN ISSUES
----------------------------------------

- Pressing escape during cutscene conversations can lock the game.

- At present, only 3 of the 7 recruitable Nomads have a proper dialogue or backstory to recruiting them. The rest you can simply walk up to and say "Yes" to get them into your pride.

- As of this version, the plot cannot advance past part 2 of the "Chasing Shadows" quest.

- The Sponsorship system is still being tweaked and may show some unexpected behavior.
