While it's not really all that bad, you are pretty close to the truth. 90% of the "calm down, it's not all that bad" voices at Bioware have never cracked open the toolset. The funniest part of all that is that the OC for NWN's was just a showcase for what could be done with the toolset. Hence the extremely low quality of the work. Ok, maybe that's a little harsh, it wasn't that bad, but it sure could have been better. Perspective, as always, is everything. Sooner or later, these single player minded folks will come to realize that NWN's biggest success wasn't through Bioware at all, except that they made and released the toolset. Modders, both from persistent worlds, and those that made strictly sp modules, kept the community a lot more active than the people that went out and bought the game, and maybe the expansions. Time will tell.
