Wasn't that hard to get the pattern; it took more efford to clear all the monsters so they did not get in the way while evading boulders.

The bolder area is the lower area. Go to the far right to reach a portal towards the structure above.

And with that, I am done.

I haven't tried this mod yet, since I expected it would be a mod like you're describing it. But +90% of the mods out there are just garbage in general I don't understand most people at all that will just play stubbornly every single mod out there, garbage or not.
If it throws you in frustrating situations and "bad" or "boring" gameplay mechanics, just delete it.

But in the author's defense, he did make Eye of atlantis after this mod. Which was a very pleasant experience for a free mod.

I will give this a shot to play and try to enjoy it from a technical view and see how long I will last before I delete it from my hdd

Also, another thing I don't understand. The mod's description clearly tells you to play this game with a new party.
Why on earth would you play it with a lvl 50 party? I noticed this behaviour from many people.
Why do you all insist on importing overpowered parties into mods? It just makes 0 sense.

Twice.

Monsters die by simply looking at them and so far it's been a cakewalk. I'm sure it will get harder later on, but the first 3 hours have been a pleasant experience so far.

You mentioned that you didn't find the Light scroll. So that kinda makes it hard to take your criticism seriously if you skipped the mines right at the start of the game.

The only annoyance so far is the alcove/weight puzzle many people seemed to have troubles with.
It doesn't say it needs to be in kg and even then it refuses to open the door.
I bruteforced every single combination with rocks as they weigh exactly 1 kg each so I'm guessing you have to place 1 single item with either 1 - 2 or 3 kg to make the script open the door but I lack items that exactly weigh 2 kg
