Banished

NOTICE ========== Version 2 of the mod is now available! The ending has been severely tweaked, so there is no more fear of corrupting your saves. Also, the new ending should appeal more to those of you who wanted a little more closure in the first one. The Story ========== It was yet another drab and uninteresting office meeting at the Nexus Forums Headquarters. Dark0ne, Buddah, and the rest of the gang were all sitting at the Official Nexus Round Table engaging in seemingly unproductive conversation. It was then that AlienSlof spoke the words that would change their lives forever. \"You know guys, I can\'t wait till our website hits one million members! I would do anything to have that many users subscribe to the site.\" The others nodded in agreement. \"Honestly\", LHammonds began, \"I would trade my soul for that kind of action. In a heartbeat!\" Not a moment after those words left his lips, the ground started to shake with the rumble of an African stampede, and a fiery golden pentagram began etching itself into the center of the table. A grotesque demon reached its putrid claw out from the hellish portal, and quickly pulled itself into their mortal realm. \"Greetings Humans.

It\'s not like we use our souls for anything else, right? Hell, I didn\'t even know we had one until now!\" It seemed like the crew was in unanimous agreement, when suddenly an outraged Buddah slammed his fists onto the table. \"NOOOOO!!!\" He screamed. \"Don\'t you fools see?
