Here are today's Neverwinter Nights forum highlights. Please take into account that these are only single parts of various threads and should not be taken out of context.

SoU Campaign: I won't go into how the SoU campaign is going to be different in style and content... I've done that in numerous other threads, and I won't repeat myself here. It will be different, but the proof (as they say) is in the pudding. So if anyone cares to try it they'll either find it to their taste or they won't. BUT I will say that I downloaded Dreamcatcher 3 out of curiosity last night due to this thread. I ended up staying up a little late (until 3 am) because I got wrapped up in it... very nice. While I have a few niggly beefs, I really do like all the interaction with Idola. That part was especially well done and was quite novel-esque. The story (so far) is also quite interesting. I've never seen Danmar's dungeon in actual use before, either, and it looked a lot better than a thought it would (not that I expected it to look bad, it just looked a bit... clean and sterile, I guess, in the Toolset). So that was a pleasant surprise. Will I learn from it? I learn stuff all the time, and the other people at Bioware are no different. I wouldn't copy it, if that's what you mean, and there's a lot I would do differently... and there's a lot that would have to change if such a module was to be targeted at a broader audience in a commercial release. But, yes, it does look like it's a great effort, for sure.

SoU Character Level: Well, the mileage of the individual obviously may vary... and we're still doing a lot of tweaking... but so far it looks like characters are ending up around level 12 or so, yes.
