    Here are today's Neverwinter Nights forum highlights. Please take into account that these are only single parts of various threads and should not be taken out of context. Bear in mind also that the posts presented here are copied as-is, and that any bad spelling and grammar does not get corrected on our end.

    Darcy Pajak, Assistant Producer

    Future Expansion Packs: Any future expansion will depend heavily on how many copies we sell of SoU and HoTU.

    Horses: Although we try to provide some fantasy fulfillment, our game mechanics present no easy way to add mounts and mounted combat. Each mount needs to be able to integrate each character size, and then combat needs to add new animations for every character action, etc. Besides, there is no real need for it regarding other game mechanics. Time is not a factor in the game, and neither is fatigue, so we do not need any devices that get the player anywhere quicker, or carry their stuff. Because the cost is so high, and there is no need for them as far as game mechanics, there are no plans to add mounts to HoTU.

    David Gaider, Designer

    Quote: Does this mean our level 12-13 or so characters at the end of SoU will be suitable for taking straight into HotU?

    Currently, yes. You are, after all, a famous hero... immortalized by the publishing of a certain epic novel named (by the publishers, much to the author's chagrin) "Shadows of Undrentide".

    Tom Ohle, Communications Associate

    HotU: Like I've said, you'll only reach around level 25 or so in the campaign. As for the concerns about not having challenging creatures to fight... well... you've only seen a few of the ones we have. I went up against a certain creature with a level 30 character and was quickly handed my head on a platter.
