NWN2 Gold Missing Mysteries of Westgate

Dalveen · Tue, 8th Jul '08, 9:33pm

A rep from Atari has finally let the public know why Mysteries of Westgate will be missing from the NWN2: Gold pack.

Here's the explanation:

Hello NWN2 fans,

Sorry for the delay on this post. It was meant to go out weeks ago, but got stuck in clearance. It's actually not even completely cleared yet, but I'm going to post it anyway because you deserve a response.

Those of you who bought NWN2 Gold will not be receiving a free code for Mysteries of Westgate. The reason for this is, we felt that releasing Mysteries of Westgate as part of a bundle would diminish the value of the Adventure Pack. We've always stated that our goal is to ensure that Mysteries of Westgate receives all the attention it deserves and the best way to do that is to release it as a separate product.

As a result of NWN2 Gold not including MoW, we actually reduced the price of Gold to reflect the reduction of content in the bundle. This is something we should have announced before the release of NWN2 Gold and apologize that it is coming out after the fact.

We sincerely regret any confusion that we may have inadvertently caused regarding NWN2 Gold and Mysteries of Westgate. We are proud of both of these products and hope that you will appreciate each of them in its own light.

Thank you,

The Atari Team

Heh. Reduced the price, sure. I'm sure they figured they could make more money by making it separate and realized it was a bad idea to bundle it.

They'll probably add it again in a few months and call the package "NWN2 Platinum" or some such. Didn't they do something similar with the premium modules and NWN Diamond?

Just the first few lower quality premium modules... the rest were never added into boxed compilations.

Cheap.

I don't see why they would include it so soon, it's barely left the designer's table, far too soon to be talking about adding it into a bundle.
