Second expansion for Neverwinter Nights 2 (Storm of Zehir)

Im wondering about the name of the mod, or if it's even a console command that increase the numbers of members you can have in the party. I remember it was so annoying that you had to leave one of the party members behind

 

Don't know the name of any mod that does it, but it's a pretty easy fix only requiring one script to be changed. Unzip the content of the attached file into your override folder and the companions shouldn't refuse to join due to your current party size. :)

I see that Mysteries of Westgate has a review up on nwvault.

 

Interesting read. The silence and general lack of personality of your party members in Storm of Zehir was a bit disappointing, so it's good to have a return back to normal from that. :)

 

From what I have read it's the copy protection for Europe that is holding up the release of premium mod.

 

If they are using the same kind of protection as the NWN premium modules where the new assets are encrypted, non-modifiable and not usable outside of the module they come with it's extremely counterproductive "protection". For a game where 3rd party modding is a bullet point feature at the back of the box it's a very odd choice to go with, one that makes me refuse to buy them no matter how good they are. Have to draw the line where the protection negatively effects the value of the product it protects. :carms:

The mod and assets are currently encrypted, yes. However, the guys at Ossian have stated that the new models and tileset will be opened up to the community later on. They've also mentioned that they want it to be sooner rather than later. It's good news if everything goes according to plan.
