Neverwinter Nights 2: ALFA Interview Transcripts

The Tormented has produced a transcript of the two E3 audio interviews conducted by the ALFA folks via NWN 2 News. The interviews were conduced with Anthony Davis and Feargus Urquhart.

Kevin Faust: Is the NwN2 vault system identical to NwN and will NwN2 support portaling characters between servers using a shared vault?

Feargus Urquhart: Pretty much what it comes to, what we've done with the vault system and everything when it comes to PW and stuff like that, it's very similar to the way it works in the original NwN. So, we haven't really changed it and our goal is to really try to support as much as the PW stuff as possible which is the shared vault and portaling stuff.

Kevin Faust: I would like to know if the file system functionality will be multi-threaded. E.g. can the binary access the file system of the host OS while still executing other parts of code or will it have to wait until file access is complete to resume normal module execution again. Read: vault login, log out, lag when server vault is on a network

Feargus Urquhart: I have no idea. I'm sorry I don't mean to laugh. That's such a detailed question I'm not really sure. I can't even answer that.
