yop.. Actually by the time of the news, the plugin and the whole crafting system weren't available on the vault. But they are now.. XP_Craft on the Vault So you can test for yourself and add it to your own PWs.

afaimc i'm dealing with scripting, making custom content (clothe/tilesets/placebles), coding nwnx4 plugins (which by the way i will release soon), background and rules making, DMing and playing on a PW. and semantics has nothing to do with it. while building a solo module you just don't care bout things like persistancy.. though, on a pw you always respawn in the first area with full HP/feats and spells, you don't care bout you quest journal, but on a pw, when you come back, it's empty, you don't care bout chests, but randomly on a pw they just won't close. You can make 10 different modules for a solo campaign, with area the size you want, tons of placeables, grass everywhere. on a pw you can't afford that. You don't either have to deal with transition crashes, the fact that a DM cannot open a player's inventory or just cannot know in which area are the players... I could go on like that for a long time but truely, it's just not bout the same thing at all. the only thing in commun is we all use the same toolset. and that's a point... a toolset user. thats a fairly good category ! (still restrictive though )

well i followed the link to the vault poll. i had no idea such a thing existed... and i bet any of the people i know in the french community (players and modders) ever heard of it... But I will definitlely link the vault poll on my forum and other nwn2 forums... I wouldn't like this one to be too false since it's not the point. But be sure to check out the vault poll once in a while.. (that's why a poll directly after nwn2 install would have been nice... for the point of this one surely isn't "why did you bought the game ?" but.. when you don't find what you want in a place, you go where you're told there's what you need lol !)

Since NWN2 was out, I've always hoped this poll would see the light. but.. as a matter of fact it's kinda useless given the choices, and the way people can vote. that kinda poll would have been really nice at the end of nwn2 install programm "please take some time to answer that quick survey" thus enabling to use bioware accounts (or not). It would also have given a more accurate view of the population buying nwn2 in the first place, maybe giving the opportunity the OE to focus first on the game improvement regarding the biggest population. As a matter of facts, this poll is linked in some gaming forums, maybe also on pw forums. (even if i don't plan on posting it on mine). And i clearly understand why pw builders prefer voting PW player instead of "module builder" for it really ins't the same thing... at all. A PW builder dedicates himself to his PW players and narrowing him to module builder would really be a mistake since his first concern is what he can bring to his players. His needs matches what he knows his players lack. not what he lacks as a simple module builder. That include DMing as well as scripting, ui, mapping and any other basic gameplay things that help his player feel comfortable using nwn2.
