    Here are today's official Neverwinter Nights forum highlights. Please take into account that these are only single parts of various threads and should not be taken out of context.

    Derek French, Assistant Producer


    Patch 1.28: We are working on getting an internal test build this week, so I would expect a beta of it next week. But that is all just guesswork right now.

    More:
    Sorry, we won't have anymore details until we are closer to the Beta release.


    Rick Ernst, Lead Designer (Floodgate Entertainment)


    Grenade Weapons: Grenade-like weapons will conform with all of the neccessary server and difficulty settings.

    More:
    Since grenade-like weapons (as with most other effects) are scripted as 'spells' they have only a limited selection of animations to use. Alas, the dart-throw animation is not one of them.


    Jay Watamaniuk, Community Manager


    Prestige Classes: Prestige classes are pretty much exactly like regular classes except for the fact they have limited level progression. For example a Fighter class can go all the way to level 20 while most prestige classes can only go 10 levels or even 5 levels. The bonus is the fact you are further specializing your character and have access to some very unique new abilities.

    Map Size: I agree with John D. Gordon. Create a smallish area first and make it detailed. I have played through many modules where the builder makes this massive forest/city/whatever with nothing in it. Very, very boring. A city should be teeming with life.

    Al Schilling, Product Manager (MacSoft)


    Mac: Thanks to everyone for taking the time to make your feelings, opinions, and suggestions known. I have read every post in this string and am affected by each and every one of them. A few things:

    1) I know that the website is out of date and needs to be updated. This will be taken care of soon.

    2) For those of you who are upset because you haven't heard an apology, let me just say that I am very sorry for the lack of communication and for not being able to come through on the toolset. I must make it clear that the toolset was never "guaranteed" or "promised", as many of you continue to state. We said we'd try-and we did. I've been with MacSoft for 9 years and I take a lot of pride in this label. It pains me when people have a bad impression of our group. Unfortunately, some things are out of my control. Bottom line-I'm truly sorry for the furor this has wrought. There is a reason we don't presell software. In this business things can, and do change during development.

    3) As to your suggestions for possible remedies, we're considering all. Keep in mind that there are legal considerations that we have no control over. We won't announce anything until we are absolutely certain that it will happen (I've learned something from all of this)

    4) System requirements will be posted when we are absolutely certain what they will be. We are waiting on video drivers. I would have to be absolutely insane to post requirements tagged with the disclaimer "...pending review of final code and video drivers."

    5) Please stop questioning the veracity of Mike from IMG. I barely know Mike. We are not personal friends. Anyone who has worked with Mike in a professional capacity will tell you that he is one of the most amazing human beings on the face of this planet. Those of you who would slam him without bothering to check out his credentials should really do a reality check.
