Leroux: Whoops, guess I got confused by the 2 in NWN or something. My bad.

morolf: That's a bit different though, those modules are original content, and if I understand correctly many of them are actually better in regard to possibilities for genuine role-playing than Baldur's Gate 2 or the original campaigns of the two Neverwinter Nights games. Simply remaking Baldur's Gate 2 in another graphics engine (and presumably keeping most of the quests and dialogue the same) seems rather unimaginative and pointless by comparison.

Leroux: I did play a bit of the Eye of the Beholder module for NWN though, and it was surprisingly fun.

Leroux: Kind of stating the obvious here, but I suppose they're just doing it for the fun of it. Plain and simple. It's a hobby. They're modders, they love Neverwinter Nights or NWN2, they probably loved the Infinity Engine games, too, and are curious how they would play out in their favorite engine that they spend so much time with. I mean, look at the number of ratings on any module page at NW Vault. They certainly don't do it for the fame, they can't expect more than a few dozen players at best and only a couple of comments.

I don't really see the point either, I agree about the camera, I like the original graphics much better than NWN2's weirdly colored, lifeless puppets, and I usually don't replay story-oriented games anyway (although in this regard, maybe a "remake" in another engine could make it more interesting to play again). But it's just for the fans (of NWN2 mostly, and yes, they really do exist), and for the creators themselves. Some people have more fun modding than playing and this frees them from having to come up with their own stories, and it presents a good challenge.
