So What Happens Now?

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 ;)
