NWN has been on the (US) shelves for all of a day, and the first patch is out already ! So there are some advantages to the delayed ship to Australia - by the time it’s available here, it’ll hopefully be a stable version. Any release date yet, Shadow ?

yup, next Friday it is!
I think the version we get won’t be shipped with the patch. If you have a look on planet neverwinter, the patch number is 1.18, and they say:
“Please do not panic about the version number seemingly leaping from 1.10 to 1.18. The “missing” versions are builds of the many different international versions of Neverwinter Nights.”
Another thing of Note I found off the Planet Neverwinter site which I didn’t realise is that:
“New official modules will follow the initial release chock-full of new story and game play in addition to new tilesets, items, monsters, spells, classes and races.”
They don’t mention if these will be downloadable or a new package, I’m guessing a new package.
I still can’t wait to get my hands on it though.
They have already released the first module - a free download ! It’s called “Contest of Champions”:
This module is designed to allow a group of players to jump into combat against each other on up to for 4 different teams. Anything goes within the two different battle arenas. The last team standing at the end of combat wins the round.
I check with EB this morning, and the date has now moved to wednesday, just two days before Warcraft III.
EB told me July 1st for NWN. Wish they’d get properly organised.
The EB at Tea Tree Plaza in SA said that it will be out on the 28 of this month. I can’t wait!
