I'll shed what little light I can on this topic...
As for the max application process size, 2 GB is indeed what I've heard is the limit. As for how many areas that would translate to, that of course depends on the size and type of the areas. Exterior areas generally eat up a lot more space than interiors - on the order of several times more than the same sized interior.
The largest module we ever had was on the order of 30+ areas. We have a lot stricter rules on module size than the community however, and have since restructured that module to be a bit smaller.
The good news is that modules can be connected together - so the for the non-pw campaign you can build a world as big as you want. The PC's can travel back and forth and the state of the modules will be retained.
Although NWN2 was never designed to support PW's, we are continuing to looking at ways to make larger modules possible.
Im gonna get called a troll, and a doom crier, probably even banned for this, but at this point, dont even care.
OE, thank you for removing all the best aspects of NWN in your "sequel". The dm client included, PW capabilities, PW support, and the easy to make custom content. You are the worst thing to happen the the name Neverwinter nights.
I am boycotting any product you make, due to your failure of including the PW part of the community. It may just be a loss of sales of 3 copies of your crap game, But I'll be sure and tell others why, Including the 300+ registered players of my current NWN PW.
to all you Cummunity members that think this is just another doom cry post, I suggest you reread that quote above. the largest mod they have made is 30+ areas. the largest mod they have made is the OC. No wonder its 20 hours of play. What a joke.
Oe seems to think its all going to be ok, because you can connect mods to each other.. yippy, to bad lots of those of us who would have built something in this game, Were constantly ripped for posting concerns about the lack of features, support, and, most of all just plain left out of the plan, wont be building anything at all. NWN2 wont last longer than 3 months. Go ahead and say how great it will be, even though you havent played it. Tell us again how great the graffix are that made the PW not possible. Tell us how OE cares about the community, even though it keeps ignoring, and and cutting features for a big part of that community. OE do us all a favor, and go make console games, stay away from the PC, its to big for you to handle.
