This would be a lot more tempting as a Linux purchase if the Aurora toolset wasn't Windows-only.

Why so long? On Steam they release this game few months ago...
Anyway, game is now on small smale -25%, but for owners of classic Neverwinter Nights is for -50%.

character models need updating also, and increases to textures, I wish companies would go to that effort, would be awesome. Atm the enemies look a bit hilarious and hard to take serious :)

From what I understood, they did some initial tweaks and were planning on enhancing all the things as they go along.

True, from what I understand it will be a gradual process over time until the whole game eventually looks reasonably "Up to Date".
That is part of what's been keeping me away from playing it on steam. It feels like a shame to play through it again now, only to have the entire campaign look 10X better in 6-12 months of time. Right now, I'm eager to see what comes from this quote:
"New character and weapon models for Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition are getting closer! As soon as we’re ready, we’ll be sure to share a few amazing screenshots!"

I own the original Neverwinter Nights for linux but i will buy this one as well.
Nice to that this release on GOG has linux support since sometimes they can't get a hold on the one with the rights for the linux releases.

Thanks. I don't have a DVD drive anymore to test it. Guess I'll have to buy one!

Yeah, I sadly lost my save game that I had where I managed to solo with a wizard up to 14th or so level... So I'd have to start over, so I'm waiting for the fully enhanced edition before I start that up again. On the bright side, it's been so long since I played it, I only remember the beginning part and a few pieces here and there.

What the actual fuck.
They had to remake it this close??? I was about to buy it, but 32bit is the barier I do not pass.
Anyway. Guess I will use the cash for a book instead (an actual book, as in paper).

Ha, all kidding aside, one thing that angers me is when I see a Kindle edition of a book cost more than getting a physical copy...

I played NWN from its 2002 release on Windoze until I got smart and moved to Linux. Bioware put out a Linux client in 2003, and it still works.
I, of course, had no problem at all buying it again from my Beamdog buddies.
NO game has more hours of RPG Gaming Goodness (tm) than NWN, with 16 years of free mods on https://neverwintervault.org.
There is no game I can recommend more highly.
BUY IT!

What would have been nice is a multi-character mod of some sort. So you could play through the modules that require more than one character without actually needing more than one player. Yeah I know, anti-social, but still... :P

Actually, the game has always had controllable companions; since Shadows of Undrentide. It certainly has in Hordes of the Underdark.

The BioWare Linux client STILL works. My only gripe about the EE is the tiny movies, especially since there is a way to have full-screen videos in the Linux client. Still, I'm very happy with my third purchase of the game I know I have played more than any other, in the past 16 years.

Ha, I totally forgot about that, they were added later than the original release. But I think you could only have one, right? When I was playing a Wizard, I just used my Pixie familiar to detect traps and pick locks. Very useful!
