    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.

    Jonathan Epp, Quality Assurance

    Camera Control:

    Quote: Just so everyone knows, it looks like we'll have a better way to do camera panning/tilting/zooming in the next game patch. That's not an absolute promise, but chances are pretty good it'll be there.

    Oops! I mixed up my words there - I meant "rotating", NOT "panning".

    Derek French, Assistant Producer

    Linux Client:

    Quote: Do we know this? For some reason, possibly Bioware's stellar customer relations toward this community, I get the feeling that it'll be a one shot thing with no continuing support.

    Just like we are continuing to release patches for the Linux Server, so it shall be for the Linux (and Mac) client.

    More:

    Quote: wrong. Bioware says that they are porting the game.

    Correct. We are doing the Linux Client version, just like we are doing the existing Linux Server.

    Quote: Noone has seen any code yet.

    Correct. Nor will you. This is not open-source development.

    Quote: The screenshots could as well been made on a windows box, then photoshopped into a nice kde screenie.

    Except that they are screenshots from the Linux client.

    Quote: Whenever they feel like it, they give us another lame no-content-provided excuse why they still have nothing to show, yet they have time to code a windows demo version.

    The people working on the NWN demo (which was completed about 3 months ago and never released until recently for various reasons) and the NWN Linux programmers are two completely different teams and do not affect each other in terms of scheduling.

    Quote: Sorry, but I can't believe it anymore until I see a bit more than just a bunch of new screenshots every few weeks, and some new way of saying "neener neener".

    Fair enough. You will just have to wait, then.
