Optional downloads:

Quote: When there is optional stuff available for download, for example the CEP, you get a dialogue with a checkbox for "Never ask me about this download again". I know you can get the CEP directly from the site, but in general what do you do if you check that box but change your mind about it later? Is everything that the autoupdater offers available for manual download? Can you edit a file or regkey or whatever to reenable all the download offers through the autoupdater?

Most of the things available as optional downloads should be available for manual download on this site, if you do a search. The files that are flagged to never download again are stored in the registry. If you feel comfortable with editing your registry, the key is here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / BioWare / NWN / NeverWinter / NWUpdate / OptionalFiles

I believe deleting the entries in OptionalFiles, should make the prompt pop-up again next time you run the updater.

Use Magic Device: 1) HotU features a more "by the book" implementation of Use Magic Device than NWN when playing at least on Hardcore Difficulty

2) Only certain scrolls (raise/ressurect/cure type) can be cast by all classes without use magic device, that was always the case.
