Well... I must say I'm a little disheartened, primarily I guess because the following for NWN1 has shrunk to such a degree that I feel creating a new mod for the "community" may as well have meant creating a new mod for my neighbours. The feedback I've had, while generally good, has been a lot smaller than I had hoped, and this has left me wondering whether or not making the sequels might be a waste of time. That's not strictly true, as I enjoy the creation process and love story telling. If nothing else, I believe I'm making something my son will enjoy playing in later years, provided of course whatever computer I have at the time can still run it.
I have made a start on the areas for chapter 2, but the speed at which I tackle it will largely depend on further feedback. So I guess this is a warning to you all, If you want to see a sequel, get more involved. There is a project page for this over at the Bioware boards where you can start a discussion if you so wish.
So, with that said, what are the plans for Chapter 2? Well this time round the main character will be a Thief, with the intention to start a little higher in level than the main character of the prequel. It will be a human female struggling against the prejudice of the male dominated Thieves Guild, but she'll be a strong willed woman who regards most men as a means to an end. They'll be a henchman again at around the halfway stage, but this time a very unusual one... an Ancient! You'll just have to play Chapter 1 if you don't know what one of those are ;)

Hi Geoff,
We must meet up ....
I still think the best move for you is to consider creating sequels on NWN2. While even this platform is a few years old, it has enough flexibility in its toolset to allow a modern feel to any game you make ... and it is more likely to play on future computers.
As you are a good artist, I am reasonably confident that any areas you make in NWN2 will be a pleasure to play in and attract an audience alone.
The good news, I have reloaded NWN1 on my computer again and it works with Windows 7 (64 bit), so people can still play any NWN1 module you make. I wil also be able to download and play your module now ... when I finally get my own first NWN2 module finished anyway.
Lance.
Hey, don't get discouraged, I'm sure downloads and votes will slowly pick up. It IS a 10 year old game, after all.
I'll start your module right away and leave a feedback on ze vault as soon as I'm finished. Keep it up!
Yep Lance, must meet up soon.
Hi Fardoche, yep, I suppose I should have expected nothing else for such an old game. I have made a start on a couple of areas for Chapter 2. Screenshots will follow once I've done enough to warrant commenting on. :)
