We also think that no matter how successful NwN2 is, we will still have people playing the original NwN game. And although I can see that you're trying to do a nice thing with this proposal, it is not something that we could support. As has already been suggested, it could turn into a legal nightmare of ownership, licensure, who owns what, who gave what to whom and other such headaches.

Jousting Tactics/Tips (http://nwn.bioware.com//forums/viewpost.html?topic=498079&post=4326772&forum=86&highlight=)
It's not my fault you don't look before posting. http://forums.bioware.com/_commonext/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif
A serious jousting tip? Steady Seat and Center strike. I know it's cooler to do the fancy-schmancy, but I win more jousts with Steady/Center than with anything else. It also works really well if you have thumped your opponent (hit him, but not unseated him) in the previous round.
And for other tips, make sure you talk to tavern patrons. They "know" things (although I'm sure you've all realized that by now).

<hr />Has any one defeated the Black Knight while jousting? I tried about 7 times in a row (Save-re load)and he wiped me otu in the first hit!!!
Was this just a super run of bad luck on my part?<hr />Sometimes he trounces me, sometimes I unhorse him in a single hit. I like to remember my victories and forget my defeats, thank you very much. http://forums.bioware.com/_commonext/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif

1.69 Requests (http://nwn.bioware.com//forums/viewpost.html?topic=495940&post=4325413&forum=42&highlight=)
<hr />How about some freaking hills? remember the 56k hak someone made? "hills of the wayland" why have you not added hills in as a patch if it only takes 56kb space to do so?!
please add hills to rural and winter rural http://forums.bioware.com/_commonext/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif<hr />I think TNO Exterior takes care of that...
1.68 Cloaks are beautiful but stiff (http://nwn.bioware.com//forums/viewpost.html?topic=498052&post=4326583&forum=83&highlight=)
Sounds like there is an animation model overriding the ones the cloaks use in 1.68 (the a_ba.mdl series). Try making a clean module with no haks at all, and an empty override folder and see if the cloaks are stiff or not.
