Hate to say I told you so but...I did tell you so 
The DM client was to be done in between Gold and release - so I doubt it. It's a non-issue. Either way - it's to be available on release. On disc or via patch is really neither here nor there.
I would not get too comfy with this date either. It might get pushed back to November (and it might not).
If it does get pushed to November - it won't get pushed after that though.
I consider this to be a positive, btw. The game needed more time and polish.
For those who are looking forward to kicking the tires - Obsidian will be attending GenCon and about 5 out of the 6 booths at the Atari island will be focusing on NWN2.

I doubt the DM Client will be included anyway. Including the DM Client means a whole extra set of QA/QC issues that have to be checked by Obsidian, and then checked again by Atari, and then approved. That process rarely goes through the first time unless there's serious problems at the management level... which for all that people would lambast Atari, I highly doubt.
