Admiral Nelson:
Vassago's Dirge




--- Quote from: General Battuta on July 26, 2010, 08:27:19 pm ---One of the most compelling, atmospheric, artistic mods the community has seen, delivered by an auteur and a peerless FREDder. Like the titular dirge, it is both beautiful and funereal - a desaturated journey into the most compelling and unearthly parts of the FreeSpace universe.

There are moments in this campaign that will shock, and others - more disturbing yet - that will chill you with their unsettling, eerie familiarity.

And there are ridiculously, ridiculously cool moments, masterstrokes of honed FREDcraft. Perfect, invisible control in some missions; in others feats of modding I didn't believe feasible.

Also, the use of music is just something else.
 
Play it.

--- End quote ---

Vassago's Dirge is a masterwork of one of HLP's most legendary modders.  Now it can be enjoyed with full voice acting and current FSO and MVPs builds! If you've played before, now is a great time to revisit this classic. If you haven't played it before, what are you waiting for?
