    I think the only one I don't have is the horsey one - and all the non-module content for that one was released in 1.69.

    Is it possible that Diamond was different where you live? I have the box right here. It lists what it has on the front cover.
    Neverwinter Nights
    "Shadows of Undretide" Expansion Pack.
    "Hordes of the Underdark" Expansion Pack.
    "Kingmaker" Expansion Pack featuring three original modules:
    Kingmaker, ShadowGuard, and Witch's Wake.

    On the back it also mentions this and that it has all patches and updates pre-applied.

    If it is some miserable abomination without all that where you live, then Bioware and Atari should be shamed as publicly as possible.

    Perhaps I am really missing something obvious, but even GoG.com has NWN Diamand.
    http://www.gog.com/gamecard/neverwinter_nights_diamond_edition

    What does this not have? Is this not available where you live? If so, I will freely offer you my copy of the game. If you want it, please PM me an address where I should send it. It is the retail Diamond edition in box. (DVD version, not CDs.)

    I honestly do not know what horsey module/DLC there is to this game.
    (This offer is good for Althea only. Sorry, but I cannot afford to buy it for everyone who wants a freebie.)

    *Edit* I think some of this was posted by mining and others in the past in other threads, but here are a few links that are worthy of browsing if you have the game.

    http://wiki.hgweb.org/wiki/Installation_Guide

    If you already know all the information there, skip to the bottom of the last page for links to the tools to get the software you need to use the mods they offer. (CEPv2 and a few more.) (BTW, that was perhaps the most redundant sentence I ever typed... :D :p)

    (Edited Again...*
    Use ARF2 to automatically do everything if you are not too sure you understand it. I suspect most will do that even if they do understand it, but it is a lot less work if it still works.)

    *Edited Yet Again...*
    Offer retracted since Althea already has it. I do intend to play it again. If anyone reading this has lived in a cave for many years and not played it, please grab a copy. It is a good game despite Atari and Bioware being jerks about region locked content. And as I learned later in this thread, all the worthwhile modules are in Diamond.

    The GOG one is the same as your own, Omni. The UK edition only came with stuff "upto" Kingmaker. Cormyr, Sword Coast and Infinite Dungeons (list and details here) were never released on disc and are only available through illegitimate channels.

    That said, I don't know what the "horsey module" is. I know mounted stuff was added in 1.69. Looking at the Wiki, it looks like it must be Cormyr that added it and contained it, but again, that one is unavailable now.

    As for the age, which someone mentioned a while back, that's not my point. My point was that NWN's DLC was distributed through a single channel (as was Oblivion's PC stuff, I believe) which was through the developer. Atari never distributed it themselves via their store or other sites (it was still on sale as late as mid-2009!), so when they told BioWare to stop selling it, there was nowhere to buy it, and I could be wrong but I think those who bought them can't acquire them again now. So basically my point was that the distribution of DLC is important.

    Omni, I also have about three copies of NWN, so whilst your offer is kind, it's not something I need to take you up on ;)

    Well, I never heard of the other DLC stuff. I guess I never looked too hard at anything other than the insane and basically game-breaking side of the mods made for it.

    If anyone knows of a way to get the additional premium modules made for it, I would be interested. Note that if it is unavailable by legitimate means, please send me a PM rather than getting the thread locked. I intend to someday play through the game again, but it would be salt in an open wound to play it lacking content when I actually thought I had it all. (I too bought it more than once.)

    We could argue that it is all abandonedware except the part still available through GoG. But again that would be like begging Daynab to close and lock the thread.

    So back to other DLC discussion. :D

    *Edit* BTW, thanks for the link Althea. At least I know know what modules I am lacking. :)

    I think he is mentioning an exploit based trick. I will wait for a clarification though.

    They're all independent. They don't really add to the campaign (the patches do that), so you're not missing anything nor any parts of the story if you don't have them.

    But no, they are legally unavailable.

    Ah. Then I guess I do not need them. Thanks for the clarification.
