The entire argument for everything is environment dependent. How many servers are vanilla NWN? They're massively outnumbered by servers with changes to this that and the other. Long live variety.
I agree with that. The difficulty comes, when things like this come up (this thread), what do you discuss? Do you talk about the General, or a specific? Since the General is applicible to all, then it is best to talk about that. Regarding a specific server or mod, then that applies to ONE, which is best discussed on that mod or pws forum. Remember, this is nwn GENERAL forum.
That was why, in ECB since 2004, we talked about the General. When you understood the pw or mod, then it is a fairly trivial matter to tweak for that mod. It is, however, a very different story to try to go the other way (or it can be).
WIth regards to pw modifications, these used to kill populations on pws. We had PRC and no new people joined for long periods of time even though it was a truly amazing server. If that has changed, then it is a good thing for nwn, and it would explain alot about alot. This has been extremely humorous because I was always the one who played on Modified servers, yet I was educated in nwn character building enough to be able to talk vanilla or otherwise.
