So, Bioware is/was (?) offering additional Premium Modules for NWN. Are any of those inlcuded? If no, any other ways to obtain them? Oh, wait:

"The Diamond edition comes complete with three additional campaign modules to make your gaming experience last even longer."

Which modules are they exactly talking about?

And btw: THANKS FOR THE RELEASE! <3

TParis: Which modules are they exactly talking about?
It says right on the game's page:
"The Diamond Edition includes the original Neverwinter Nights and three official expansion packs: Shadows of Undrentide, Hordes of the Underdark and Kingmaker."
Kingmaker itself, as it was released on disc format, is a compilation of three of those Premium Modules: Kingmaker, Witch Wake and Shadowguard

Not entirely correct. The three premium modules they mention are all contained within the Kingmaker Expansion: Kingmaker, Shadowguard and Witch's Wake, if I recall correctly. There were a few other premium modules that are not included in Kingmaker: Infinite Dungeons, Pirates of the Sword Coast and The Wyvern Crown of Cormyr.
It's actually quite confusing:

Shadows of Undrentide and Hordes of the Underdark are the two proper expansions. Worth noting that they follow on directly and are sort of aimed at being played through with the same character. They're not designed to follow on from the original campaign (although they do tie-in a little).

The premium modules are:
* Kingmaker
* ShadowGuard
* Witch's Wake
* Pirates of the Sword Coast
* Infinite Dungeons
* Wyvern Crown of Cormyr

The first three of those were bundled together in a disc expansion called (confusingly) Kingmaker. Mostly as Kingmaker is the only one out of those three modules with a significant amount of content to it. That pack of three is what you get with the GOG version.

The remaining three aren't included, which is a real shame as you can't buy they any more either. They were never put out on disc and the online store no longer sells them. They also have a lot more to them than the first three

It's also worth mentioning Darkness over Daggerford, which was meant to be a premium module, was nearly done, then the program was cancelled. It got released for free instead and is on the NWN Vault.

Thanks for the info! =)

What a shame that you can't buy the last 3 any longer...

It's worth noting here that one of NWN's strongest selling points is that there are literally hundreds of user-made modules that seem to very well imitate little short P&P sessions - some of the most fun I've had with NWN was with modules that only took an hour or so to play. Even before the game finishes downloading, go check out NWN and search their hall of fame.
I managed to buy the Wyvern Crown of Cormyr before they were forced to take it off their site ages ago. I'l hoping the installer is still valid for multiple copies of the game since I don't think I'd be able to redownload it from BioWare since they aren't allowed to sell it anymore (did I mention current Atari grates me to no end? ;) )

There goes my last hope of ever obtaining the three then :-(. I'll still buy it eventually but as I already have the retail Diamond edition, I'm not in particular hurry.
Is it just me or is nwvault acting up? I can search for stuff, such as Darkness over Daggerford, but when I click the link the site is just blank. Anyone else experiencing this?

Supposedly the module should be here http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Modules.Detail&amp;id=5122 but see nothing :/

It should be valid. I re-installed recently and had lost the installer, so had to get it elsewhere, but I was able to run it with my legit Product Key - they won't sell the modules anymore, but the online activation servers are still up!

Nope, it's not just you :)
nwvault? Bear two things in mind:

1) It was always a slow site
2) GOG just released NWN Diamond for $10

;D

Thanks much! Good to know it can still be activated. I'm fairly sure I backed up my installer but sometimes I forget to do so, and I know I wasn't expecting the Premium Modules to come down from the store completely. :(
The EXE and the .Zip versions of the premium modules exist on the site, but you need to have bought them originally to make them work.

They literally call home while your playing to auth there content. Personally for the infinite dungeon alone i would pay money... alas it was a digital distro only and i highly doubt atari will do that for us. But who knows, maybe an ambitious coder/module maker can find a way to make it all work.
