NWN2 - Mysteries of Westgate Spotlight #3

[Dhruin]

Ossian Studios has kicked up the next Mysteries of Westgate Spotlight, this time looking at the merchants in the city. As usual, there are a couple of fan questions answered as well. Here's one that gives a status update and reveals we're now waiting for the next patch from Obsidian:

Developer Questions
Question (conan2005): So, what is the current estimated release date for the upcoming NWN2 Adventure Pack: Mysteries of Westgate?

Alan Miranda, CEO: There is no official release date that has been announced by Atari yet. The game itself has been finished for quite a while and Obsidian is continuing to work on integrating the code to make it available through the 1.13 patch (these changes unfortunately didn't make it in time for 1.12). We know the delay is frustrating, but we think the game will be well worth the wait, as was indicated in the recent Games for Windows review of MoW (April/May issue). It's also going to be included in the upcoming NWN2 Gold edition. Please hang in there... and stay tuned!

Anyone want to bet it will be held over for the Gold release?
More information.

Well, the current plan with patches over at Obsidian is to release one approximately every 6 weeks. So as we've just had a release, that means MoW is probably at least 6 weeks away from release.

The Gold DVD is currently listed as April 29th, although obviously that could change. Perhaps MoW can ship with the Gold edition as v1.12 because it doesn't need the online distribution code? Great job from Atari on communicating and promoting this release!

Not.

Well, that would fit in with the 6 week patch schedule quite nicely. 1.13 for all at the end of April!

Bah, I say. They told us that the only thing stopping it from being released was a bit of code in 1.12. This is really starting to become a fiasco. Alan Miranda must be ready to punch someone from Obsidian or Atari (whichever is actually at fualt) in the face. All indications are that it'll be worth the wait though.
