    A friend of mine is applying to work for Bioware as a writer, he moved to LA a few years ago and has been working on sets and as a game tester for EA (who now owns bioware?). Now my question is...

    Where's the best place to learn how to use the editor proficiently?

    I know we have a few editors on these forums so I figured this would be at the very least the first place to start looking for a modding community that can give him a hand.

    Thanks in advance to anyone that can offer some advice.

    How basic/complex are we talking here? There are a ton of great tutorials on the Vault (can recommend a few, if you want) that deal with the basics of module designing (mainly focusing on building, conversation writing, etc). If you're wanting more complicated, getting into advance scripting, I'd suggest trail and error - with using the bioware NWN2 forum for any specific questions.

    Keep in mind, of course, that NWN2 was not made by bioware, unlike NWN1.

    it's a basic thing I think. A 30 minute module focusing mainly on dialogue ('cause it's for writers).

    This one is a good start. Covers a fair amount:
