That's the thing: you can't get at the source code itself. That's BioWare's property. Besides that, so much shit is hardcoded into their engine that it wouldn't do much good. No, these poor dumb bastards have to fix bugs with hideous workarounds.

For example of just one small part of the inefficiency of NWN:

To create a whole new set of weapons, you can do just that. However, the game and server will also load in the defaults, but just not show them. There is/was no way around this whatsoever.

This may be dated since the postmortem of Three Towns, but it is/was an issue that plagued the game all over. There's other forms of this as well as other issues still persisting entirely, which makes me think that software publishers are getting kickbacks from RAM developers. There's a lot more problems than mere players see.
