    Here are today's 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. Bear in mind also that the posts presented here are copied as-is, and that any bad spelling and grammar does not get corrected on our end.

    Digital Distribution: Yeah, the system we're developing should handle this just fine. Ultimately, you'd be paying for the ability to play the module rather than the right to download it. If your dog eats your computer or some such tragedy, re-downloading the content you've already purchased should be relatively painless.

    Georg Zoeller, Designer

    NWServer: If I remember correctly the framwwork that was used for the Baldurs Gate Games was multi threaded in that regard, and it apparently caused a whole lot of trouble, so for NWN the decision was made to go single threaded. I don't see any significant reason (that includes "market") that would justify to rethink that decision.

    Shifter: Polymorphed creatures (and the shifter is just that) can not cast spells (except those in the special abilities radial). It's unlikely to change, but of course I won't rule it out completely, there is always a small chance. If it ever would change (which again is unlikely), yes, a .2da column would be the way to go.
