    Sitting: Currently, PC's do NOT sit. They can sit down on the ground, but only when resting.

    File Format Changes: The file formats were changed to speed up save times and area transition loads (and were very successful at doing so). The only files we converted to the new file format were the official campaign modules... everything else that was old had to be dumped (like our earlier legacy modules). Only the programmers would know how that was done. Probably manually, as I've been told that we don't have a conversion utility ourselves that we could make available.

    Bob McCabe, Designer

    Intro: I believe the original concept (when the intro was to focus on multiple heroes) was that this was to be Morregence (a barbarian) - a character who was cut from the story. The movie was then shifted to focus on one character, and at that point I believe it became Lord Nasher in his youth.

    Favourite 3E Changes: One of my favorite changes is skills. I like that you perform your skill with a d20 + modifier, and then someone tries to out-perform you by besting your roll. If your roll a 12 for hide, then I need to roll 13 or better to spot you. The flexibility of characters, as mentioned, is also a huge advance, and a subtle nod toward GUPRs, I think. As far as rolling, almost everything is a d20, and higher is generally better (I can't think of a situation where lower is better, and there probably isn't one - consistency is good). You want your armor class higher, your saving throws higher, etc. And all classes advance at the same rate!!! Who would have thunked it?

    David Chan,Sound Designer

    Surround Sound: We use the Miles sound system and support both Direct Sound and EAX 3.0. The EAX 3.0 effects are very nice. So, getting a 4 speaker system with a nice sub woofer would be well worth it to enhance the experience.

    Stanley Woo, Quality Assurance Ninja

    CD Keys: Yes, NWN will enforce 1 CD key = 1 player. For you and your brother to play simultaneously, even on a LAN, each would need to purchase his own copy of Neverwinter Nights (now with pectin!).
