August 3 Livestream Recap

During last week's livestream we played a fun piece of never-used-before Minsc voice over.

Watch it on YouTube.

Catch up with the recap.

@JuliusBorisov

Just clarify one thing for me, please.

There are new features in NWNEE that I need to manually download and aren't automatically incorporated to the game during an update, is that correct?

This part is misleading me:

You can see a couple of new updates for Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition on the Steam Workshop! Enhanced Kukri and Rapier models are now available. We also have reuploaded some of the previously updated models and released an update to the Aribeth example model, fixing conflicts with enhanced weapon models.

Thanks!

The 2.5 patch cycle is nearly finished. Will there be small hotfixes in the future, to patch up smaller issues like bug fixes and regressions, so that player's won't have to wait months or years for bugfixes? ALso, what are Beamdog's plans to finish the SouldTaker plot thread?

JuliusBorisov

@Raduziel These are the Steam Workshop items. You can subscribe to them, and the game will download them.

Raduziel

Thanks!

Edit: OMG, I feel like a child in a candy shop.

Seeing as SoD isn't included in the 2.5 beta, does that mean bug fixes for the SoD portion are rather minor? Not that I remember any major bugs from any particular point of the game, but i'm sure there were some.

P.S. @batoor There will be a lot of bug fixes for SoD in the 2.5 patch.

To follow up on Raduziel's comment, how does subscribing to steam help me since I use and download patches etc through the beamdog client and have none of these games attached to steam? I'm not very tech savvy so not understanding that part.

Why not just utilize the DLC/purchasing system that was in the BG:EE launcher from the Beamdog Client version from back in the day, for NWN:EE ? You could use this for purchasing new mods/expansions and all the free DLC you add ? Just put it right in the NWN:EE launcher ?
