installing expansions

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.neverwinter-nights (More info?)

I just ordered the two expansions, and I was wondering if it's ok to install
them as I'm in the middle of NWN. Can I start using their extra features in
the middle of my game? Does it hurt anything to install them now?

It's OK to install them now. Any updates they have for the original
campaign won't show up until you start the next chapter. You will be
able to use the new feats, spells, skills* and classes immediately.


*Some of the new skills require a scripted implementation within an
individual module (e.g. Appraise, crafting skills) and won't be useable.
Some skills that are handled by the game engine (e.g. Tumble) can be used.

Thanks, and sorry for the double post. Seems my NWN newsgroup had stopped
for a few days until I reset it.

So henchman management won't show up until the next chapter?

Actually, henchman management requires a different set of scripts be set
on the henchmen and won't be useable in NWN at all. You can only use it
in SoU, HotU and modules built with the appropriate scripts.

Oh, I understand now. Well, as long as nothing can get messed up in my
ongoing game, I don't mind.
