"Limited Edition Content" goes against the whole concept of NWN (http://nwn2forums.bioware.com//forums/viewpost.html?topic=494675&post=4289310&forum=95&highlight=)
<hr />Im not upset about the extra costs but I am concerned that we may get much less, look at Oblivion and how "Successful" its custom content is and how much the players "love" Bethesda for it.<hr />Everyone's build will have the Blessed of Waukeen feat and all of the special items. They just won't appear in your OC. Anyone is free to use those items in their own modules/campaigns.

Unless you mean *premium* content, which a lot of people whine about, but is really a pretty silly things to complain about since no one is forced to buy horse armor if they don't want to spend the $1.50 to get it.
More: <hr />yeah yeah, im glad i didnt preorder this as i dont see anything in it id want. and i bet the rings are sliver plated or fake<hr />I can pretty much promise that the rings will not contain any silver.

Sadly, Able Learner does not make all skills class skills. It just lowers the cost of cross-class skills to one point. Cross-class skills continue to have lower limits than class skills. Still quite useful, IMO, but not over-powerful.

I'm going to try and clarify some things so people can stop debating it. We have said for months that we intend to release a DM client with a patch either simultaneously or VERY soon after the release. Basically, its a first patch scenario situation.
To be as blunt and direct as possible. What the team has been non-committal about is what exactly the content of the DM client will be. The overarching goal for NWN2 has basically been "everything you liked about NWN, but more". So with that in mind we are looking at every aspect of the game and how we might expand upon it. The exact details of what the NWN2 DM client will be is still in development.
Will we release one? Yes! What exactly will it do? Wait and see. We take this element of NWN2 VERY seriously. So when we say there will be a DM client we mean just that.
This is a development team with an exceptional amount of integrity and loyalty to both this game, the D&D franchise, and especially the fans. My job is to be their voice to this community and in doing so people should remember that when I speak officially, it is indeed on behalf of Obsidian and the NWN2 team.
In closing there will be a DM client. Please be patient.
Thanks for your support, and we hope to see many of you this week at Dragon*Con!
