ANY release dates you see are pure speculation. The sad fact is, that because of the nasty four-way lawsuit (Interplay. Titus, Bioware, Black Isle), the lawyers now control the fate of this game, not the designers or producers. It certainly will not be released until AT LEAST Interplay and Bioware come to an agreement, which I have yet to hear a single encouraging rumor about. Desslock on Gamepsot has speculated that it might be YEARS before we see this one, if ever. This sucks more badly than any RPG industry development in awhile, but we've got to face facts, people.
Actually, Bioware owns Neverwinter Nights, they are producing it. Interplay was only going to publish it (Make the boxes, PR campaign, etc), but they said this Month that this Law suit would NOT change the release date of 2nd Quarter 2002.
Remember when I told you all way back I said I bet it wouldn't be out until March 2002?
I have contacts at Bioware, and have spoken to them about this: they say all is on schedule. they HAVE been adding to the single player story, but that is done now. But get this-- Bioware is still forwarding PR Requests to Interplay FOR Neverwinter Nights.. THAT is odd. Maybe they are working this out..
I SURE as hell hope so, if NWN is delayed until Aug, it's Vaporware.
