Can you imagine what it would've be like if more companies has these handover moments. Support is officially handled over to the community. People pick up touch and the developers get to move on.
Given what the modding community has been able to come up with without official tools, I'm looking forward to the mods that are going to come out after the next patch.
I wouldn't hold my breath. From what I've heard so far the modding will be quite limited. There will probably still be a ton of mods outside of the official support.
If the modding tools are as good as NWNs level maker then that's even better as far as I'm concerned. I don't exactly need a relationship with Shrek or Thomas the Tank Engine, haha
