thats just the sad truth. Oblivion arent assholes, its a compagny that has to make a game in a very limited timeframe for their actual targetgroup, which is not us.

Unless the module would automatically stream to you when you connect to the server (like it does on Half-Life maps), it would be a really big hassle.

Can you get satilite TV? If so you should be able to get decent internet through them.
Your satellite connection is optimized for surfing and routine internet usage. However, certain time-sensitive Internet applications (NetMeeting, NetPhone, some online games, and any application that connects to a virtual private network) won't perform their best over a satellite connection.
Any signal you send from your computer via satellite has to travel over 44,000 miles to space and back again in order to deliver your information, and because of this, satellite products have a degree of latency. Latency is the time it takes for a signal from your computer to reach its destination and then for the response to flow through the satellite back to your computer. Therefore, certain time-sensitive applications are not recommended for use with Satellite:
* Real-time online communication tools such as NetMeeting or NetPhone.
* Real-time online games that emphasize reaction time such as Quake, CounterStrike, Diablo, and EverQuest. NOTE: Online turn-based games such as card games or chess will play well on Satellite.
* Any application that connects to a Virtual Private Network (VPN) is not supported and will be very slow on Satellite.

Sure its avalible... $699.99 upfront for equipment and set up and $69.99 a month for service.
Also, according to the provider, Satillite is usless for me:

BioWare has nothing to do with NWN2 except for having provided the base engine upon which Obsidian built NWN2 on. The most I'd say BioWare has had anyhting to do with NWN2 is maybe consulting.
EDIT: Correction, they also host Obsidian's NWN2 forums. This was a decision supposedly to help keep the community from splitting. I think Obsidian just got over their heads in forum assholes too quick with too little moderators to handle it.
