Simple question, not always simple to answer...

First off - I apologize for asking this question since I am sure it's been answered somewhere (read the FAQ you noob, do a search, etc etc...)

But after having read a few Obsidian chat blogs, a whole bunch of threads over on Bioware's NWN2's site, out of frustration I just got to come out and ask...

Are they (Obsidian) ever going to provide the REST of the monster's in an updated toolset? When I finally got around to actually loading it, I was pretty surprised to see so FEW monsters, especially when it comes to Dragons.

It's not like I am totally ignorant of production time and deadlines when it comes to software development either. I'm hoping that they will hand it over to the user mods who can and likely will 'fill in the blanks' since I don't see such a SMALL shop like Obsidian putting effort to something like that. The cycles and the $$ is just not there, and a second title is not guaranteed either by the looks of the change logs coming down the pipe.

ITs never wrong to ask questions but it has been the same with NWN1 very few things at first coming with the addons and the PRC and the CEP. Also after hearing the podcast where tAnny said they are working on additional content for NWN2 I am pretty sure there wil be more nice stuff. I look forwards to see the additions especially after the end of the OC was so cutely open.

expansion packs.

i mean, yeah, a lot of it will be done by moders, but they will add some in expansion packs.... we hope.

The name of the expansion is "Mask of the Betrayer".

I don't like it when you just put your faith in something you don't know yet. You'd be surprised how many times I heard the line,"You modders will make it so, right?". From my pov, there is currently not as much intrest in NWN2 as there was in NWN1. Will this delay a CEP? Perhaps.

Let's just say that the MotB expansion will eventually add some creatures. We've seen wyverns, a few dragons, etc. Don't expect a sh!tload of those though, as it's just an expansion.

However, I do noticed the Obsidian team choose the story for the expansion so that they are forced to create new content. I'm thinking snowy textures, different tree types, a different architecture, etc. So I guess that's promising.

I've been disapointed with the toolset too. Much harder to manage, although there are a lot more scripting options for it then the orginal NWN version. Sadly, unless either modders/scripters put the data out there, most of us are stuck simply with what they give us.
