Robes:
We have indentified an issue where robes may not appear if you have your video settings set to 16Meg compatibility mode textures AND you have environment mapping turned off when you first start NWN. It appears that you can work around this problem, by either toggling Environment mapping on/off, or switching to a different texture setting (you can then switch back to your original texture setting and the robes should still appear until the next time you start NWN).

Encounter system:

Quote: Hmm, then what about the server/mod description thing, everytime I look at the details of a server, there is a server short description under server description (and most of them are cut off) and nothing under module description. From the patch details, this sounds like the bug it was supposed to fix, yet its still present. Anyone else see the same thing as me?

The limit to the server description is not a bug, but a GameSpy limitation. There was a bug that if you created a long server description, then it was possible that your server would stop showing up in the GameSpy server listings. We had to put a limit on the length of the server description field to ensure that people's servers would show up in the server listing. The length of the server description has to remain at this new length limit, and we have no intention of changing it in the future.
