Neverwinter Nights 2: Atari/NWN 2 Support Interview

The Vault has posted an interview with Atari Senior Producer John Galloway and Obsidian Entertainment Executive Producer Darren Monahan. The topic of discussion is the level of 'official' support that NWN 2 users can expect from both Atari and Obsidian Entertainment.

4) In what ways does Atari plan on supporting NWN1?

The real question in my mind is how will Atari support the Neverwinter franchise moving forward and most importantly the players and builders who have been so loyal to the property over the years. Everything has a lifecycle, and NWN1 has defiantly had one for the history books. It's because of this and our dedication to the people that have been so supportive of it over the years that we have really attempted to support the community in as many ways as we can. Such as keeping the scripting language the same and being able to import not just that but your dialogue from NWN1 into NWN2. We believe its things like this that let the community know that we continue to appreciate the work they have put into the franchise in the past and that we are excited to see them continue with it into the future.

The interview has caused some level of a 'stir' on the official forums with people pointing out several areas of concern with answers given by Mr. Galloway and Mr. Monahan. You can read and participate in the discussion on the official forum.
