The World of Avlis

You might want to check out NWVault if you'd like to get your handson the toolset pronto. It seems pre-buys will allow you to download the toolset a month early.

Yep ... but does this apply to UK pre-buys?

The cheapest I've found so far is £17.89 from SendIt.com
That's apx £7 cheaper than Amazon.

heh, thanks for that post fifty, I just preordered it and can't wait to check it out. It can be downloaded soon.

I preordered from Amazon. How do I get the code for the Download please?

and me, but from game...

I am trying to find that out via the Atari forums, but no news yet. It seems to be restricted to US and Germany.

This is where you go.

I preordered from GameStop, but haven't gotten anything yet myself. There was at the above yesterday, but it is gone now. I assume it will return.

I'll repeat...

There are many places you can go for the US version, and Thal already posted the link to the countdown.

Thanks for trying though.

If I understood Amazon right, normal preordering doesn't help you.

You've got to buy the extra "Preorder Pack", which will give you that code, and a few extra items & opportunities when finally playing the game. And a bunch of artwork data, should you want to make a fansite.

All this for just 9,99€!


I think I'll pass that one.

If I understood correctly, you pay for the code. this you can use to download the toolset and have therefore one month time to check it out before the game is released. not so bad if ya ask me

If I understand it right, if you pre-buy the regular version or one of the many different limited edition versions (they're different in every country), you do NOT get to download the toolset early. It's only certain special stores that offer it... the store that the Atari website links to not being one of them. They didn't think this one through, did they?

Oh well - at least I still have it pre-ordered.

Well that just sucks. I pre-ordered from GameStop which was the one off the NWN2 website. I only did that because I thought I'd get the damned toolset.

yeah, thats right. I ordered the game for 45euros and the 'toolset version' for another 10 euros via Amazon in Germany. I didnt know that they didnt offer that in the UK, that sucks.

but I can send you screenshots when I have it...

Maybe it will get released as pre-order in the UK soon. If so I will cancel my Amazon order and get it from wherever does it.

I might get the pre-order pack from Germany.. I just hope that the toolset isn't in German then.

is it thiscopy that everyone is talking about because i cant seem to find any other special version of nwn2 anywhere.

Nope, that's one of several different limited edition versions. It comes with some bonus stuff in the box and some extras for the single-player game, but I don't think you get a code to download the toolset early.

Only source I've found is forums, but it's not very reliable (no Atari people have chimed in).

I have my code, but oddly enough I didn't actually pre-order. They sold me the box with the code for $10 as it should be, but there was no information taken for a pre-order.

*shrugs* Didn't think about it until after we left Best Buy. We'll call them or go back there with the box and see what's up.

I guess the best thing to do is go to a game store and ask.

Seems there was this type of confussion when the original NWN came out. Do they ever make things easy?

Went to Gamestop yesterday. I asked the guy about the $10 pack. He knew nothing, but he went in the back to check if there was anything new. he found preorder cards that had a code on them. I put $5 down to preorder and got a code. The toolset isn't going to be released until the 22nd (next Friday) though.

I went to my gamestop, and the first guy knew nothing about it on Thursday. I bought it anyways (to get the DVD version) Called on Friday, and they said they had the pre-order cards in. Went in Sat, and the guy at the counter was like "huh, what pre-order cards" and the guy next to him behind the counter looked over with a look of "I work with idiots" and said "the ones at your feet" They were sitting in a NWN2 display on the floor.
