Just read that myself earlier. Can't decide if its worth it or not. There are plenty of free modules out there after all... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

You are oh so right.

I noted that myself when I logged into Bioware today for a quick check of things.

It has been up in the air for about a year now.
I guess it was only a matter of time. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sleepey.gif" alt="" />

Its a pisser though. I KNEW they'd do that with the witches' wake. Waiting for eons for the second half of that... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Womble I'm sure you already played Witch Wake.

It was received well, but I personally didn't care for it.

That has me a bit timid to even think of buying a DD Mod.

Oh well

Here's a crazy thought...

I wonder how they're going to prevent the sharing of said Mods?

I would have rather liked to see a DD module for NWN ... as a bow towards Larian Studios. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />


When you find a big kettle of crazy, it's best not to stir it.

According to Jay W. they are all linked to your CD-Key so thats how they keep it secure.
However if you should sell you CD's with the Key (unlikely but possible) then the buyer would be able to use the down loaded mods and or down load them again for free <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

But what about all those Bitorrent people or whatever who share their stuff.
What would stop those Mods from being shared that way? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" />

I'm curious.

I don't believe this can be stopped and more i believe of many of my friends will get the "free" version, here in Brasil many people prefer to share than buy the original one, their reason? Just to play, later you don't need more of it, i believe that i'll buy the original one - cause i like of the box what come within the game.
If i'm not wrong - i know only one friend what have original programs.

Mods are linked to cdkey when you d/l them, so if your cdkey is 123 then it will only work when you have your game installed with that 123 cdkey!
Sounds simple yes, sure it is entirely possible to crack it some way, to be sure every piece of string you can crack given time or money, but basicly hey why would these type of ppl worry about a $8.00 module???
btw ever tried to play on a PW server with a fake cdkey??? doesn't work <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Oh, okay I understand.

Also, I've never played on a PW server.
I've only played on a LAN a few times against my sister. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
