I know those things are official, but I like to keep the 'I`ll believe it when I see it' stance for now.

I'm in your camp, k... I, for one, will take a healthy dose of skepticism and ascribe to the belief that 'seeing is believing.' I still remember getting my hopes up for KotOR 2 and although it had it's redeeming parts, it still wasn't quite as advertised.

That's okay, Grunker... Don't let our jaded outlook on game developers who promise what they don't always deliver color your outlook.

Argh...! Well, at least it gives me the time to get the money for the Limited Edition...

Update on release date:

I just preordererd Neverwinter Nights II - Collector's Edition in EB Games (primary PC-store in Denmark). Their releasedate was still set to 29/9 (September 29th).

Might be a flaw in their system - but they're usually pretty good at this stuff.

Interesting. It's down for 20th October at play.com and amazon uk, and my local games store says the end of October. But there are differences in release dates from country to country.

If you get it first, I'll be crossing the North Sea in a longship bringing Saxon justice to the Vikings

I've got my limited edition pre-ordered as well; they say the release here would be September 10th. In the recent light of things, I suspect that they've yet to confirm the date from their supplier. My guess is that it's going to be 19th or 20th of October for Finland...

So, which one you're getting? The only thing Finland has on show on pre-order lists is this: http://www.nwn2wiki....Book-small2.gif. Well, at least the store I ordered my copy from is giving me Dragonshard for free because I pre-ordered NWN2 Limited Edition. Whatever that may be...

In Denmark we apparently have a good and an evil version, so I'm gonna go with the good one. The contents looks satisfactory

Did I read this correctly? Is it this way all over the world? I mean, will we have to choose our alignment with our purchase? What are those of us with split personalities to do? Buy both? (And, can we get a two-for-one sale?)

Questions, questions... *sigh* And I didn't even ask the real reason they pushed back the date -- whether it was because they're late in development/beta, or if they're [gods' forbid] wanting to exploit the holiday-buying season.

Edit: Anyone here interested in NWN fanfic? Yeah, Mr. Moderator.. I know it's Ot.. *raspberry*

I have actually no idea if the limited edition is going to be distributed that way, since there's no actual announcement about it. Finland still has the 'old' image on any pre-order lists, and I can only wonder if that means that we're not getting any of the cool stuff. I'm going to be bloody annoyed if I can't get the NWN signet ring or whatever that ring is supposed to be...

Excuse me if I read this incorrectly, but do you mean whether the box-set will lock the alignment we can actually play in the game? I think we can choose from the usual ones no matter what MG

Ah hell, I probably just misunderstood.

[Kellen]

It'd be most odd if it locked alignment with purchase. Maybe one is leaned more toward good characters? Sounds rather odd to me.

It appears me system doesn't meet about half of the requirements so I will have to go without for a while.

[NiGHTMARE]

I suspect the "good" and "evil" versions merely have different box art.

Ah hell, I probably just misunderstood.

I was yammering off before I did a little research on my own for here. I can't speak for anywhere else on the globe, but here it's the 'usual.' Meaning, I will be able to indulge my goody-two-shoes paladin, and also my wicked-witch-of-the-west mage from the same box set. No distinction of alignment for buying the game.

But, checking out the Limited Edition versus the Regular, they're not saying here what you'll get for the extra $10.00 difference between the two. So far, all I have seen is the game itself, along with the toolset. $10 extra for a pretty box to show your friends?

[NiGHTMARE]

The Limited Edition will most likely include a bonus DVD with a "making of" documentary, if other recent Special/Limited Editions are anything to go by (e.g. Oblivion, Battle for Middle Earth 2). That might not be *all* it contains, though.
