Very nicely done, guys! Impeccable presentation, one of the ore intresting backstories/roleplaying angles I've seen in a good long time, and some cool gameplay as well.
Even brought some new things to the tale for me -- I'd never considered using Barbas as a follower, and I had no idea he's invincible. Does he do much damage in combat or is he mostly just there as a distraction and general companion presence? Call me stupid, but another thing I never knew is that paralysis affects the undead ... I haven't used it that much in general, and I guess I just figured it must not affect them (that was the case in Oblivion, wasn't it?). Very good to know!
Combat seems fairly straightforward. Slightly more menu juggling than I tend to prefer, but given the seven powers of the Lanthorn (which, it seems, come from the source material) you guys did a good job making it appear functional. Another thing I tend not to like in general is to use unarmored clothing with armored boots and gauntlets, but it looks ,ike you guys found a way to make it work pretty well here, with MFD, the Ritual, enchantments, and paralysis to help counteract the inherent weakness that comes from such a kit.
Overall, very nice build. Well done!
