Bioware to Open Online Store for Digital Content

GimpyMcJackass writes "Bioware will be opening a new store for digital content starting November 10. Currently slated for sale will be a few modules for Neverwinter Nights, at fairly reasonable prices ($5 - $8 USD). Nice addition to the business model. Gamespot also has an interview with the usual Bioware suspects about it."

Which is why Bioware's next big PC game is Dragon Age, a party-based Baldur's Gate-styled RPG. Though you won't get you're 2D goodness, the whole thing's 3D, just with the option to view it from the sort of perspective you could in Baldur's Gate.

On a side note, Baldur's Gate III will never happen. The story ended and Bioware are moving away from third-party properties for their games. Plus, the project that was going to be Baldur's Gate III (previously in development at Interplay by Black Isle, before its disbandment), is now gone.

Yes. Now go tell me what modules would be good for a party of 3-4 people, levels 4-6. The nwvault search engine came out with 50+, of which we eventually found a half-dozen worth playing. I've seen levels marked "Level 4-6" where the first comment from the developer is "You really should be 9th level". NWVault needs to enforce the basic search stats. Not to mention that voting is scattershot, plus you can't get stats (except via the "beta" method) until it has 25 votes. There are probably thousands of modules with over 1000 downloads that don't have 10 votes...(though that would really be the community's fault)

FWIW, we're playing Hidden(lost?) City of Tamoachan, then probably Wanderer II, then the original D&D Giants modules, then some Spider-woman thing.

Oh, and good luck finding good epic-level adventures. I haven't seen any that are for a party of 30+. (hence my sig)

And for those of you who haven't played the following modules (single-player), go find these:

• Penultima
  
• Penultima Rerolled
  
• Shadowlords
  
• Dreamcatcher
  
• Demon (yup, sequel to Dreamcatcher is out!!!)
  
• Witch's Wake
