[QUOTE="Steel_Wind, post: 3032649, member: 20741"] At this stage - I would advise waiting Morrus. NWN2 is a different bird - and creating exterior areas in NWN2 is nothing like NWN1 in terms of art. Proper art creation for an exterior level takes about a week. Scripting is *in addition to* that time expenditure. Interior tile based areas are pretty much as fast as NWN1 (though there are more lighting options) but exterior is a whole new ball game. To do them properly - you need 3d modeling and texturing skills. You don't have to be a pro at 3dsmax - that's not what I mean. But proper texture blending is not easy stuff. My evidence on this point will shortly follow the release of NWN2 when the most garish areas you ever did see flood NWVault. There are also issues with module size, wok mesh and other issues in terms of NWN2 PWs that will make it far more challenging on the technical side to do. Not impossible. I didn't say that - but it WILL be more challenging and difficult. [/QUOTE]
