On occasion, I'm amazed at how long area creation takes in NWN2. Interiors seem to be the trickiest, putting down tiles, adding lights, and then the countless placeables that make a place feel homey. This morning I started in on a large manor, importing from the prototype, and after a couple hours got a bare-bones, no placeable interior that's ready to go. It'll probably take a few more hours to pretty up the place.

Yesterday I worked on little things, such as doing basic debugging of the Port Brighton area. Some area transitions didn't work, item icons were missing, and the commoners looked weird. I also got the "burning building" mini-quest working for the most part. I think I need to make it more dangerous, as it's mostly a cake-walk now.

As for my fixes to the first module, I think I've given up on finding the time for a full walkthrough. I think I'll whip up a beta patch today and post it, assuming I can find the time for that. My e-mail inbox has filled right up again, and need to find the time for that too. Busy, busy.
