Game Modding: Basic Skills

Game modding is not that difficult, if you divide the tasks into smaller, more manageable chunks. Below are a series of tutorials that shows you how to create your first playable mod. You will be creating:

a few NPCs, creatures
conversation between NPCs and player
several interior areas
transitions between areas
encounters

Introduction

Before you begin with the tutorials, please take some time to go through the following materials. These articles will help you understand some of the concepts for game design, and should help you understand the process better. Much of the game design process can be done without the Tool set. Don't rush the process...

The NWN2 Toolset

Take your time to familiarize yourself with the toolset, and once you think you have mastered the basic skills, start thinking of a story or expand from the first mod you have just created. To make the mod really playable and fun, you will need to pick up some of the advanced skills, particularly NWN2 scripting. But all that are manageable if you take time to learn it.
