Beamdog announces NWN Enhanced Edition

[Paha]

I'll quote Tala here who said it well. It is indeed enhanced edition, it is not extended edition. I highly doubt they will do massive reforms on the game itself, or the engine. And even if they do small fixes, what is certain is this:

It will not be cross-compatible with current version. If we would move server to it, it would require everyone to buy the new enhanced version. Any engine changes and modernisation will require the server to be in same state, and nwn engine is extremely rough with requiring client and server to have identical files and core systems. And that is the danger there as well.

I am happy see there is attention on this and someone intending to go and improve the game, but I am keeping my distance and me head calm until I know more about the technical details of what they intend to do, how far they will go, and what consequences those changes will have to our existing systems. I have left many of the great current DM's to their own vices, and they are the ones who have earned credit of many great new things in recent couple years for certain.

But I intend to be here and return to efu for many things, when I know it does not take my time from things I absolutely must do, and my life has had great many good and less good things, both which have grown my personal experience professionally and as a person. When this would come out, I don't know, but if they intend to do big things, I can't imagine it is immediately? So we shall see what comes, and then we will know. And if the server would decide to move to it, I will certainly be here for it if possible.
