Now there's a neat use...

I saw this on Slashdot recently, someone made a module for Neverwinter Nights that was Shakespeare themed. It's called Arden. The crux of the article is that without monsters and puzzles, people find games too boring to play. Personally I like interrogating all the NPCs, so I'll probably DL this and play it over Christmas.

I don't know if I'll ever finish my NWN module. I lack the L33T programming skills for it. I tried to recreate a medieval Murder on the Orient Express because I thought having a one room mystery would be fairly easy to make. All the NWN resources are just so darn scattered over the web.

If you think that's bad, wait until you see the NWN2 toolset! ;)

Erf, is it worse??? I should get around to buying NWN2, I've heard mixed things about it, but, eh, you know how gaming purists are :-)

Well, as a comparison, think of the difference between a car dashboard and a commercial airliner cockpit :)

Err, that sounds like progress :-) Maybe someone will buy me NWN2 for Christmas .

I just finished Witch's Wake and was mildly disappointed...it took a little Googling to find out that it wasn't finished. I'm trying to install Arden at the moment, but I have to patch up first.
