Imho the NWN series set the bar for modability. Simple mods can be made by anyone.. and there are very little limitations for the advanced mod makers. I own all the games in the series and nwn is my preferred modding platform (nwn2 is prettier so i use that when possible although some already built in functions make nwn easier/faster to mod with in certain situations)

The fact that the script language is pretty much modified(and simplified) version of C with a built in compiler made it seem like learning the language was far easier than say.. python. (I tried to learn python I really did.. but that language is horribly more complex imho)

Speaking of nwn2 modding **wanders back to nwn2 to keep working on his empire ruler mod**

I have wasted  many hours playing and replaying the BG series. Had to stop when my games no longer worked with newer windows os. Thanks Impulse you made me repurchase the entire series for a reasonable sum and now you will be responsible for me wasting many more hours with BG.
