I couldn't agree more with the original post. I've been close to writing something similar over the past few days. I am very appreciative that they've given the opportunity to use the editor, but it is extremely cumbersome to do the simplest of tasks.
Initially, I was optimistic at the pace video tutorials were being released, but unfortunately they came to a screeching halt. It is also a little frustrating to not know if anything concrete is planned for streamlining things. I feel like if the opportunity to mod was presented to more people, the overall quality of mods would improve. More people would be involved and more would continue to fine tune their craft.
It would be so nice if the Sidebar was expanded upon. NWN's toolset is a great example. You can immediately edit any possessions, equipment, stats, skills, and scripts directly from their properties/sidebar menu.
Anywho, I sure hope some more tutorials (whether user or Larian-made) are made soon before I lose interest. I also hope the editor can become less cumbersome.
