Hi just a few questions about all these expansion packs:

1) Can I play the prestige classes from SoU, when playing NWN or HoU?
2) Do all these new exp packs add creatures and tilesets to the NWN Aurora?
3) When is HoU out?
4) Is SoU any good?

Cheers

That's a yes, yes, when it's out, and yes
Although you will need SoU to play SoU classes in standard NWN.

The only thing I can add is that Bioware has not given a release date for HOU. Gamespot and the online sellers list it as the end of November. Bioware just says it will be done when it is done. They only give release dates when the product has gone gold. I hope it is out before X-Mas.

1. Yes.
2. Yes. SoU adds some monsters and three new tilesets: Desert, Ruins and Rural winter. HotU adds four new tilesets: Exterior Underdark, Drow interior, Mind Flayer tunnels and Beholder tunnels. It also adds alot of new monsters like Mind flayers, Driders and Beholders.
3. By the end of the year, I believe.
4. I haven't finished the original NWN yet so I haven't got a chance to play SoU, but I've heard that it's better than NWN albeit a shorter game.

Yes, all the classes will be available, if you have the appropriate expansion.

yes, see post above. that's really not my thing, although i am trying.

Your guess may be better than mine.

I personally loved the expansion. It is much shorter than the original OC, but well worth playing. Plus the prestige classes, and it's really cool.
