Pretty darn cool stuff let me tell you.
Adding a slight change to PC Head texture (http://nwn.bioware.com//forums/viewpost.html?topic=385106&post=3183717&forum=48&highlight=)
I want to change the face texture on one of the PC female heads. I have zero background in custom content creation but I am quite good with Photoshop. So do I stand of chance at trying to do this? http://forums.bioware.com/_global/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif I want to add a significant scar to one of the female heads. What would be the procedure?

Romance? (http://nwn.bioware.com//forums/viewpost.html?topic=368855&post=3182995&forum=70&highlight=)
I will say this much: For all its mystery and horror, the Witch's Wake series is, at its heart, a love story. Whether that means henchman romances of the traditional BioWare sort is open to debate; we'll see how things pan out. In the end, however, I'll do whatever seems right and best for the story being told and won't shoehorn in any content that doesn't truly belong there.

Content extraction/distribution? (http://nwn.bioware.com//forums/viewpost.html?topic=385064&post=3183332&forum=77&highlight=)
It is illegal and BioWare and Atari will take appropriate steps when such a thing comes to our attention. There are some things that are fine (i.e. if someone converts the "blacksmith guy" from the official HotU campaign into a generic NPC you can place into your module, we don't really care - but if you would i.e. include his VO files and distribute them to people who don't have Hordes, we would have to act.)
Playing with platinum (http://nwn.bioware.com//forums/viewpost.html?topic=383349&post=3184070&forum=77&highlight=)
<hr /> You should have made the correct choice, a few bugs are better than no playing at all.<hr />No it's not. A "few bugs" that cause your game to crash every 5 minutes (like 1.64 Beta 3) are not better at all. People who got platinum *can* play online, just not with 1.63 servers. We are full with you that this is not a good thing and that it should be fixed as soon as possible so the Live Team is working hard to get this patch out. As for another expansion, we don't plan to.

Ah, I saw the video and it's really well done, nice to see how far technology, especially animation wise, has come these days. As for breaking immersion, well, maybe you shouldn't watch it while playing Jade, otherwise you'll be fine http://forums.bioware.com/_global/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif
1.64 Beta 3 available. (http://nwn.bioware.com//forums/viewpost.html?topic=378167&post=3184114&forum=77&highlight=)
<hr />ok, come on guys, enough is enough, when are you going to stop releasing beta's and release the real thing? I don't mean to rush the process along <hr />You can't have both sorry. There is a reason for these betas, but if that helps you, I don't think we have plans for another beta, if all goes well, the next release is "the real thing".
