Found this tucked away in the 2003 post mortem.
Thoughts? Would this have been an improvement? Did anyone actually like the NWN OC?
https://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/131299/neverwinter_nights_clientserver_.php?page=2Our original plan for the NWN story called for approximately 30 2-hour missions that people could play together, enjoy a wonderful experience, and exit from the game. However, market research led us to believe that a vast single-player story was important to end-users; they did not want to see Mechwarrior-style missions where the party would be briefed, charge off like raging lunatics, slay and loot the villains, and then return to the tavern for a nice cup of mead. Thus, the story was reorganized into four chapters, which meant six times as many creatures and objects to deal with in the same amount of RAM!
