Ok, what's it take to get all the expansion packages to bring NWN2 up to snuff? I assume Bioware still has the auto update. But the major draw back of NWN2 is the bloody special file you need for every server you want to play on! That was just plain dumb!

NWN2 only has one expansion pack called Mask of The Betrayer. The new one Storm of Zehir hasn't been released yet.
You can run the auto updater to patch just like NWN1. Obsidian will be releasing a patch for Storm of Zehir which will add auto downloader so you won't have to hunt that special file.

Cool so it's only that one or two expansion packages, MotB and then the SoZ when it's released. Thanks good to know ... gonna look into it.

Ok ... found MotB at a discount software place for $24 and I assume when SoZ comes out they will sell it for about the same price. So $48 plus shipping ... *looks into wallet ...* it is do able. The one thing about NWN2 is getting that silly special file that allows you to log onto a specific server. That is dumb. They do away with that??

No, you have to have the walkmesh. It is a side effect of being able to make almost any terrain imaginable.

Walkmesh? Part of that special file that must be downloaded or something else? Now I played on BSK2 for a while until the I/O drove me bonkers ... so I'd be good to go or would another file be required? Or is that question premature?

What do you mean by I/O. Yes, it is a but premature at this time.

I/o meaning input/output or playability or player interface with the player charactor ... etc.
