I just got HotU, so I now have both expansions. I'm planning on joining this once I get NWN running on a computer with internet access. I don't quite know what this is, so I've got a few questions about it.

What is Escape from Undermountain?

I've completed the OC and partially played the SoU campaign, will I know what I'm doing with both expansions, or should I do the expansion campaigns?

What's the difficulty compared with the OC on normal?

Will I be fine without the special class-things from SoU? (planning to create a pure fighter, for simplicity)

I've never done an online game of NWN before, is there anything I should know? (I think I can follow Ziroc's instructions for how to find Escape from Undermountain from the 'How to Join and Play' sticky.)

How will I communicate with other players? I don't really want to try to communicate just through emotes.

I've got XP on the only online computer at my house, and NWN wouldn't run, for some reason. It would just sit there after doing anything to start NWN after installing it, as if it was totally ignoring that command. When I told the computer to shut down, a window would pop up asking me if I wanted to 'End Task' on NWN. How can I run NWN on XP?

Alternately, anyone good at networking? My dad's getting AOL-compatible wireless network cards, and we're planning on linking the online computer with the one that happens to work with NWN.

Thanks for helping, and I hope I won't be too much trouble once I get to Undermountain.
