I finally got around to looking at the files in the demo. It looks like DO will be VERY easy to modify, in dramatic ways. There should be no problem in adding the character classes I proposed in my Last post, including the jack-of-all-trades character (unless there is a hidden limit for the character file length). I don't see any obvious ways of adding an alignment system, but of course I don't have access to the mod manual. I have many ideas for what I want to add to my module. (I want to create a very dark module. I think I see a way to make twisted use of the stats so that, for example, your character can or has to feed on the souls of those he kills.) This looks like it will be the first game that I actually bother to mod myself.

For those gamers undecided on purchasing the game, I suggest taking a look at the different data files in the demo and consider what can be changed and added in making your own modules. Remember, because each time you start a module again, a (semi)-randomized adventure is created, you can create your own module and enjoy playing it because of the randomness. The plot-line may stay the same, but how you solve it can depend on how the adventure is randomly created, if it is set up cleverly. I think that you will find that DO provides the basis for the creation of many fun and very different adventures. I predict that DO will be well worth the asking price.
