Of course, one of the things that ensured the longevity of the NWN franchise over the years, was the constantly thriving community of mod-makers. Even so, a great number of players objected to the many aspects of Bioware's Aurora Toolset. That's why Obsidian put its recourses and energy into creating both a new graphics engine (the Electron engine) and a brand new toolset. This time around, mod creators will have access to numerous options in order to fine-tune their desired mods. After modifying lighting, colors, terrain, movement scripts and dialogue trees, players can see how it all works in practice. Also, as opposed to the earlier toolset, players don't have to rely on predetermined tile sets. With the help of the new toolset, it will be very easy to place trees, bushes, crates, barrels, and buildings across the landscape. Furthermore, altering terrain shape is quite straightforward and intuitive. Those who prefer toying with outdoor areas will find the whole system most useful, seeing as it offers a chance to determine the speed of day and night cycles; plus you can also position cloud formations, grass that sways in the wind etc. Indoor areas offer an equally satisfying range of tweaking options. You may meddle with shadows and light sources, and test the results in game right after. To flavor things a bit more, you'll get a chance to edit and customize your own special effects, creating a variety of visually impressive spells. It should open a whole range of possibilities for NWN mode-makers.
