(Originally posted by Sorcerer)

Things have finally calmed down a bit, so I was able to do some REAL work on the site for a change, not just the most urgent updates as has been happening here for the last two weeks. There are plenty of new things to be seen here, so take a few minutes and read the exact details of this rather big update.

Subsection Updates

Starting with the smallest changes, the Neverwinter Nights section has been updated with a chat log the Neverwinter Stratics had with Bioware earlier this month. It isn't all that long, so if you're interested, weren't there and haven't read it before, now is the time.
The NWN Frequently Asked Questions page has been updated as well.

The really big additions have been made to the Baldur's Gate II section of the site.
I'll start with what I spent the most on - the Baldur's Gate II NPC Guide. Although the NPC guide has been on the site for quite a long time (a few weeks before the game was released), some readers have noted that certain stats in our list were wrong, in one instance even a whole class was reversed.

Well, all the stats and classes have been fixed now, plus I added the locations of all NPCs and how to get them to join you. As an additional bonus, all of the old portraits (some were taken from the screenshots back then) have been replaced with crispy-clear new ones. A link to the list was also added to the main BGII section for easier access.

The second time eater was the Baldur's Gate II area map. Sylvus was good enough to have scanned it, and I put my editing skills to work and so we can offer you the whole Baldur's Gate II paper map, which was only included with the US version of the game. On a side note, a bunch of in-game maps are also available in our Baldur's Gate II Online Solution.

The BGII/Editors, Hacks & Custom Characters subsection has been split in two parts due to it's size. The upper half now consists of things like custom characters, portraits, savegames, voice sets etc., while the lower is purely for hacks, editors, scripters and the like.
New things that should be mentioned in this section are a bunch of submitted voice sets (excellent ones), and the extra merchants that enable you to access some of the very special, very expensive weapons and items.

As usual, check the Site News section for direct links to all new stuff.
