This is the way on GOG.

No. If I was still into the Neverwinter Nights persistent servers, I would get it in a heartbeat. But besides some additional interesting things for multiplayer, there's just not a whole lot there.

That used to be only normal if you bought the base game and an upgrade -> not owning the extended/whatever edition.
Not owning the base game from a deluxe edition seems to be a new feature :)
(except PoE where Kickstarter owners can't see any of the game owned at all...)

What paywall? Everything included with the DE is included in the basic edition. Including the Diamond Edition and all its goodies. Nothing is locked behind a paywall except more content that they worked on.

(Puts teeth in for oratory)NWN fan since 2002. (OC CDs then SoU and Hotu as they cam out, then two copies of the final version)
I even put off Morrowind for almost three years because I was hooked on this. I have NWN working on my Windows 10 with all my mods. Display and UI issues not withstanding. NWN:EE fixes that, but more importrantly the modders of yore who made this the best are back. PRC expand character creation and character building to levels ridiculous to any other RPG I know. And they are back. Many of the old mods still work. I'm willing to believe the Trelo targets are going to be met. Just some of them would be nice. For the very reasonable price I'm fine. This is the only thing to happen to NWN in the last 5 years, The game was dead except for a few PW servers, Sorry guys but for a few 100 (and I'm exaggerating to be nice), we get our game back with new players. And the bitter (for reasons unconnected to Beamdog and more connected to getting old) need to take a step back. This is the only way for new content. Fight it and you f it up for us all. Y'all grew up in the last 16, so let's show it instead of these rants. Your youth ain't coming back, let's make our middle-age a bit better for all of us. (Takes teeth out and playz).

Everyone loves facts that agree with them.

Diamond Edition was available on GOG for 10$. Now if you want the original Diamond Edition you have to pay 20$ for not-really-enhanced edition because the only way to get it now is as the extra. That is probably what was meant by the paywall ... now if you want the original content you have to pay the hiked up price because it is bundled with something many people don't give rat's ass about.

a stickler ?

Google results: Translate stickler to Dutch

noun

1. voorstander



Google tries but sometimes fails, they tend to translate a sentence literally , they know they're doing it: Anyway, Dutch seems easy to learn, but don't underestimate it, many 'migrants' have a hard time learning it , they speak English , some even fluently, Dutch seems easy to learn but it's not..

Well, I am a person who insists on the type of behaviour that doesn't involve spreading false rumours. ;)

I would have loved some facts about Bioware endorsing the free download of the premium modules, why would I not, but all I could find were claims and no sources, that's why I asked Tallima if he had any. Anyway, this discussion is getting a bit silly, let's just drop it.

Bought for the linux support (and I know the DE was already playable, but I prefer it this way, officially directly from the store).

Hey Beamdog, how about 64b support next time (I mean, at least for the new work you are preparing)... actually you can probably drop 32b for next-gen works, people currently running 32b linux distros have either very specific purpose for that, or very old HW, while almost every game-player with linux OS is on 64b (for last decade probably). (and I understand that compiling legacy sources may get tricky, and sometimes there are no sources at all, but that's the price for not releasing the SW properly (including sources). Would you open source your games after few years (without data), there would be probably some volunteer keeping them up to date for you for free... Check DOOM3 and similar stories from past.

Someone earlier in the thread claimed it was illegal, so go rustle *his* jimmies. lol

in order to get diamond edition only, now you forced to buy basic edition of EE at a double price
not sure about goodies since i didn't purchase this rerelease(i believe in PST:EE only vanilla installer appears as bonus content in a library. BG:EE's on the other hand include keys with all content as a proper separate game entry in library)

They should have declined if it was the only option. Its not like we needed the EE anyway.

Beamdog ... self-respecting ... you are funny! :-) Beamdog has always only been about cashing in on great names in a very open and unabashed way. There are people who pay for better graphics on decade old games - and Beamdog fills that niche. Minimal effort for maximum profit. Commercially that's a smart strategy - and if they can maximize their profit by selling little bits and pieces as paid extras, all the better for them. Business wise the principle 'let's squeeze all the money we can out of some nerds' seems to work. I always wonder why there are people who pay those prices for a graphics update ... but they exist.
