BioWare joint CEOs Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk answers a few questions about the release of Neverwinter Nights over at GameSpot.

The game received a small patch at about the same time as it was released, and some users are still reporting technical issues. In light of that, would you say the game shipped sooner than it should have? How goes the process of stomping all the bugs?

We've discussed Neverwinter's release internally and we are extremely satisfied it was released at an appropriate time--it wasn't released prematurely, and for the vast majority of users, it has been extremely stable. There are some users who have had problems with the game, and ultimately that's a reflection of the PC industry. Any PC release that uses the latest technologies and drivers will result in some users being unable to run the game. As a PC developer, you can't guarantee people are using the latest drivers for their hardware, or even hardware that is actually supported by the game. Many factors in development are truly beyond our control. Knowing this, we put in as many fail-safes as possible, but they can't detect every problem.
