Since the reviews are back this is now a review trade thread. Leave your short code in your review and I'll review your quest.
Hello everyone!
After playing many of the foundry quests and seeing what amazing things authors can do in them I started to think about creating my own quest. I was afraid that I’ll fail miserably at it but eventually decided to try it. People in the foundry chat told me that asking on this forum is the best way to get some feedback so…
My quest is called: A Tale from Baldur’s Gate – Gathering Shadows (Gathering Shadows). NW-DDUNG38UG
In it you are listening to a story from Baldur’s Gate that happened long time ago around 1380 DR. And by listening I mean you play it of course
Main character – Baldurian adventurer – is tasked by the guard captain to lead a party to spy on a strange army that is massing on the northern borders of Baldur’s Gate. It’s a first part of a larger campaign but… well we’ll see…
It’s mostly story driven quest with a lot of dialogs with party members and other NPC’s. There is combat of course on later maps but the start is just talking.
My goal is to invoke the feeling of older D&D games. But well…
I would love to know what people think about my work.
Anything you can tell me will be appreciated. The feedback I’m mostly looking for is:
- Is the story any good? Can you understand it? Is it worth continuing?
- What do you think about the dialogs? Characters?
- How’s the combat? Is it too hard, too easy?
Share what you can.
I apologies for my English. Dialogs might have some mistakes but hopefully not that many. If they do I’m very sorry.
I’m looking forward to any feedback you’ll give me.
If you want me to return the favor leave your quest short code below.
Thank you for reading and/or playing.
Ps. Don’t click -continue- too fast during “listen” parts of the quest, or you will ruin the “cutscene”.

PLEASE continue!
Enjoyable and entertaining. Not too dialogue thick/heavy, but enough to give me something to sink into.
May be a little on the challenging side for some. The party helps, and I liked it overall. It builds nicely to a fast pace and kept me moving forward without being bored of the fights.
More sent in a PM- thanks for making this! Hope to see more soon!
And thank you for taking your time to leave me feedback, much appreciated. I've looked into things you listed and made some changes like:
I removed the big smoke and replaced it with smaller ones. Enemies should be more visible now. I originally wanted to make that smoke appear and disappear after few seconds but I couldn't figure out how to do it
Thanks again for playing.
More feedback will be appreciated. If anyone want me to play your quests, leave your quest's short code below.
Have fun.
I likeed the story, it’s interesting and I want to know what happens next.
Characters are entertaining. I wished you could add even more dialogs with them. I loved leading a party, reminded me of older games. And I agree with Vixx – helmets are bad
Dialogs are really good and funny. Afraid I can’t help you with any errors (English is not my first language) but everything was understandable. You found a nice way to replace cutscenes. Wish authors could make them.
Combat is very nice. Some pulls were a bit challenging but I like it that way. Horned Harbingers as enemies (little hint there I think). Nicely done chase sequence.
Overall very enjoyable quest. I would love to see this campaign continued. Don’t get discourage.
Sent more in PM.
