Mod Review: Tombs Expanded

[Guest]

Okay, I figured I'd do one of these as well. This mod is huge. It doesn't
look like it, but think about how many ancestral tombs there are in the
game. Now think about each and every one of them being over 10 times as
big, and loaded with lots of really tough monsters that make Golden Saints
look like Mudcrabs by comparison. This is the first time my lvl ~50 char
has broken a sweat since he fought Umbra back around lvl 30-something. And
other than that, the first time since, I don't know, but it's been a while.
If you happen to have the Marksman Mod installed as well, there's lots of
interesting stuff here for you, though it is even more challenging, since
the many skeleton archers are armed with the new weapons added by that mod,
and they can be quite tough. I've only done one tomb so far, and I'm not
even finished with it. Each tomb could take hours. There don't seem to be
any quests added that I can tell, but there's more than enough content to
provide interest for quite a while, especially for high-level characters
that haven't had a real challenge in a long time...

Sounds like a decent mod to add when everything gets too easy.
I usually end up starting a new character....maybe this time
I'll start some of the tougher fight mods.

Just for the record, according to the makers of this mod, it does not
interfere with any quests or specific unique artifacts found in tombs.
Basically, it just adds multiple levels to all the tombs. The top level is
mostly the same, without the more difficult monsters. So you can install it
with a newbie character without worrying that the tombs will be any harder.
Only the lower levels are more difficult, so you can still safely enter the
tombs, do the quests, and get all the stuff you could before just as you can
without the mod. Just don't go downstairs until you're ready for a
challenge.
