Bioware Announces New Neverwinter Module

Despite assurances that we'd seen the last of new NWN modules, Joystiq is reporting that Darkness over Daggerford is now available for download, thanks to the folks at Ossian Studios. From the article: "Ossian Studios is comprised of BioWare veterans and RPG enthusiasts, and while they had originally planned Darkness over Daggerford as a premium module release, this lengthy single-player campaign is now available as a free download at the Neverwinter Nights Vault. Check out BioWare's interview with Ossian co-founder Alan Miranda, and let us know what you think of Daggerford."

I found that while the game was lacking in overall content compared to BG/2/IWD/2, the jump in graphics and character diversification more than made up for it. I like to consider NWN not so much of a great game as it was a great step in the right direction.

Hopefully Atari's financial issues won't kill NWN2

NWN was great because it was supported for a long time. Free content was added periodically, in addition to the interesting premium modules. Bioware continued to support and help the community as much as possible long after both expansions were finished. This is amazing for a non-MMO, and lead to an impressive community that still creates mods for the game and enjoys it greatly.

I'm hoping that Atari's financial issues won't cause the NWN2 community to be "stillborn." Yes, the game will be released with the built in campaign, but I'm worried that the Obsidian will not get the approval to provide as many patches or community assistance as Bioware got with the original.
