After thinking carefully about the issues that I raised in a previous blog post (“<\/span>A Builder’s Dilemma<\/span><\/a>“), I’ve made a final decision to return to building the next installment\u00a0of the Sanctum saga in NWN1.<\/span><\/p>\n

I won’t rehash any of the reasons for that decision now, but those who are interested can find a good discussion of them on the Bioware forums (<\/span>here<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>), as well as on my blog and on the <\/span>Sanctum I<\/span><\/a> module page. I want to sincerely thank everyone who shared their thoughts and gave me feedback on my questions.\u00a0That was invaluable in helping me think through the issue — and, I think, to make the right choice for the next chapter of the sequel. I’m still confident that with a little more time, NWN2 will mature into an awesome modding environment — so I will almost certainly be switching to the new game for the last two chapters (three and four) of the series.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m also thinking of\u00a0changing\u00a0how I’m structuring the series. My plan had been\u00a0for the three sequel modules collectively to constitute “Sanctum of the Archmage, Chapter 2: The Miracle Worker,” and to refer to each of the modules individually as “Acts” in the second chapter. This is similar to how Savant is treating the fourth chapter of the Aielund saga, “The Fall of Aielund.” I’m now thinking that it might be better to stick to referring to each module as its own “Chapter,” so that there would be four chapters in the series all told. The first half would be in NWN1, consisting of Chapters 1 (“The Sight”) and 2 (which I’ll probably now call “The Miracle Worker” instead of “The Alliance”). The second half of the series would be in NWN2, consisting of Chapters 3 and 4 (names yet to be announced). I could refer to the two halves as “Acts,” so that Act I would be in NWN1, and Act II would be in NWN2.<\/span><\/p>\n

How does that sound? Does anyone have any thoughts or advice on this?<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
