Neverwinter Nights. Who's playing?

Demon is the summer highlight

I would agree with the previous posters suggestion of Adam Miller's Shadowlords/Dreamcatcher, Stef Gagne's Penultima and Eligio Eternum series and my personal fave, Rick Burton's Twilight/Midnight.

Adam Miller's Demon which is soon to be released looks to be the highlight of the summer so far. The status of Rick Burton's Dawn is unknown at this point, though I hope he does finish it. And yes, Stef Gagne has another mod in the making too, but he's asked us to keep quiet about that for now.

The other two big forthcoming jewels are the City of Doors Initiative's Planescape: Foundations and DragonLance Adventure's DL XP and module DLA1. (And yes, I am the project lead at DLA, NWN's largest mod group).

Not to be left out of all the community development is BioWare itself and the Digital Distribution Project which has been green lit. BioWare development of both content and modules remains very much a going concern and it would not surprise me if you saw most of the aforementioned module builders and large mod groups involved in DD in some capacity.

For those who only bought the NWN Official Campaign, I highly recommend picking up both XPs. They are de rigeur on most PWs and are required for most community mods. They will also be required for compatibility with DLA and CODIs work. SoU is uneven but still worth it and HotU is easily the best thing yet made for NWN and a lot of fun.

Here's a few pics from our upcoming work:

Quick update.

Adam Miller, the author of the hugely-popular Shadowlords and Dreamcatcher campaigns for NWN has announced that Demon could be finished and available for download as early as the end of this week!

Keep checking this thread, or visit Adam Miller's NWN website for more information.

I belong to the 'hugely disappointed pre-release fanboy takes up playing again' crowd, too Now that I've holidays (and SoU is going to arrive tomorrow) I'm having much fun with NWN. I finished Dreamcatcher today and once I'm done with the official expansions I'll probably be looking for some online fun

What a great thing, that the tradition of big-time modding has continued and through the toolset much increased since the days of BG

Hi!

Steel_Wind, that first picture, with Raistlin, looks SO INCREDIBLE!! I'm definately looking forward to that module!

I've played the Shadowlords and Dreamcatcher with two friends and we had a lot of fun. Good story, impressive scripting. Lately, I've played (single player) some of Chris Huntoon's mods. There are pretty short, but have good stories (if you like horror).

I'm almost finished with "Shadow of a soul on Fire" and I'm looking for modules for a level 7 character (Elven Fighter 1/ Wizard 6). (The Problem being that most modules for that level range seem to be part of a series, which starts at level 1). Any suggestions?

I've never really played on a Persistant World (PW). I have looked at a couple of websites, but I guess I'm not ready to spend as much time on-line as would be needed to make it worthwhile. (Perhaps it's a misconception that I have, but it seems to me that it wouldn't be worth it, if I only spent a few hours once in a while.)

Anyway, have fun everyone!

Dang, time to reinstall

This discussion has got me all excited to reinstall and give NWN (and the SoU pack, which I have) another look.

Thanks, gang.

Do yourself a huge favor then: go buy Hordes of the Underdark. It is easily the best of the official campaigns yet (HotU is simply MUCH better and more KotOResque in writing) and the new content, spells, monsters, classes tilesets and yes - epic levels for your inner munchkin - are well worth it.

SoU is "optional" to many. HotU is a must have.

SoU is "ok" - but the art was done by Floodgate and is not up to par (trust me on that one - my life is NWN modeling). The story was done by Bioware under *severe* time constraints and to judge and take a pass on HotU by not liking SoU would do you and HotU both a great disservice.

I agree with Steel Wind, Hordes of the Underdark is a damn fine expansion pack. It's by and far the best of the three official campaigns, and is a must-own for any real fan of NWN.
