I have doubts about NWN, strong doubts...

-They had to split the work between the client, server, builder and solo campain. This means the solo campain will probably be shorter than BG or BG2. Will it be more open-ended with a lot of choices for every situation? really not sure.

-There is no terrain elevation (except 'messas', as seen in the editor). Booh! We're back to the silver boxes golden age.

-They no longer keep the character vault on a secure server. I guess it was a business choice, battle.net must cost a fortune. That means cheating will be fairly easy and slowly addressed (what's the use to patch if everyone has the character vault code ready to be hacked?). Since i'm mostly single-player, this isn't a big issue for me.

On the bright side, the editor is very easy to use. We might see some good modules out for NWN before the MW ones are out.
