Beta Testing for Nihil Trilogy II: Chains of Misfortune by seraphimsage
http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=nwn2communitynews.Detail&id=338

Thanks to the Alpha Testers: kamal, Arkalezth, and CaptainZombieYeti. With their help I’ve finally reached a point where the Beta Version(which includes the last parts of the mod just up to before the ending scenes) is now ready.

Now with the Beta’s Release more help is needed to iron out the last bugs, and other mis-sights that remain and some that may have been introduced. So if time allows I would appreciate it if any new or old testers can do a play-through of this mod to help identify those issues before its release. As always credit will be given to those who do. Thanks.

New Modules

Shaar Moan by Dan Pigdom
http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=NWN2ModulesEnglish.Detail&id=503

It’s close to midnight, and something evil’s lurking in the dark…

Somewhere south of Buldamar, a salt mining city in the eastern Shaar, the caravan you are escorting has been waylaid by undead. With the help of Mychael, son of Jaxx – a bard of some renown – you have little choice but to investigate the source of the undead.

Recommended starting level is 10. Lower level characters will have the chance to level up if they choose to. Basic equipment is generated for new characters.

Wulverheim by Shockwolf
http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=NWN2ModulesEnglish.Detail&id=498

Introduction

Wulverheim is a Neverwinter Nights 2 Campaign Module inspired by The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Experience a beautifully hand crafted Sandbox open world and game play concepts never before seen in Neverwinter Nights. Live another life in another world, create and play any character you can imagine, from the noble knight paladin to the sinister cult blackguard.

Explore the province of Wulverheim, and talk to the locals. See what troubles them and help them for rewards or simply cause whatever mayhem your dark heart desires.

One thing will lead to the next, but where will it end?

NWN2 UI – The Spell Clock
http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=NWN2UI.Detail&id=164

The spell clock is a new element in the NWN2 user interface. It’s like a digital alarm clock intended to count spell duration (but it could also count any other time period). It could be very useful when casting long term buffing spells and want to know how much time is left before they expire.

Please join the Neverwinter Nights Podcast & Realms of Trinity team as they kick off their newest series of interviews that showcases legends in the Neverwinter Nights 1 Community. In this episde Kama, Zeus, and Brian go over the news of the week and afterwards will conduct the interview of Gavin A.K.A. Six.

Tree Reskin / Overhaul by Ovocean

Textures have been taken care of to rescue trees and plants from the severe drought endured since the birth of Nwn2. Almost all trees have been touched up (color mostly, not leaf or trunk shape) using photographic reference each time to give them a “softer” and more realistic aspect.

Join Brian, Aroen, and Zeus as we discuss the Neverwinter Nights 1 & 2 news. Also, in this episode, the creators of the new Neverwinter Nights 2 Persistent World, Legacy, Dark Age of Britain, join us for an in depth interview about their world. The server set in the dark ages era of Britain (roughly sixth century C.E.). Players are cast as denizens of this world (be it serf or Saxon, priest or heretic, mystic druid or knight, changeling or noble born peer). The actions of players, the organizations they form, and the lands they claim will determine the fate of a Britain. A Britain that is divided amongst warlords and petty kings as the Saxon, Gaelic, and Pictish hordes attack from without, and the old pagan faiths and followers of the new Christian god struggle for its soul within.
