NWN 2 Community Blog Update: January 11, 2008

The first NWN 2 Community Blog update for 2008 has appeared today. While short, it has a lot of information about the progress for patch v1.12 and an update on the 3D Modeling Contest:

Just a quick update on the model contest. We received a lot of great entries. Unfortunately, many of those entries also came with the accusation of plagiarism. That means the entries have to be reviewed for authenticity, unfortunately this is proving difficult. I am now planning to announce the winners in February to give us time to review all the entries.

And as for patch v1.12:
