The Sanctum

I’m planning one final update to the first two modules in the Sanctum of the Archmage series over the course of the next month. The Sanctum 1 update should merge the male and female Robin versions, add a handful of fixes, and make a few gameplay improvements that I’ve been thinking about. The Sanctum 2 update will add a couple of additional areas, scenes, and RP dialogues.

After that, I’ve been giving serious thought to how to approach the next module in the series. I haven’t made an absolutely final decision, but I’ve tentatively decided to give continuing the saga in Neverwinter Nights 2 another try. I’ve been encouraged by the fact that a lot of the things that drove me away from NWN2 six months ago have been improved.

One of the reasons why I’m thinking of making the switch now is that I have too many sequels planned to do the rest of them in NWN1. I’m going to have to make the switch sooner or later, and I think it would be best to do so when the saga is at a good "transition point." If I go with this approach, I would probably "rename" Sanctum 2 to be Act II of Chapter 1 (The Sight), rather than Act I of Chapter 2 (The Miracle Worker). Then I would title the next (NWN2) module as Act I of Chapter 2 (The Miracle Worker). Renaming the modules after the fact will be a little awkward, but the reality is that Sanctum 2 is really more the conclusion of Chapter 1 than it is the beginning of Chapter 2.

Please feel free to comment – I’m very interested in feedback on this topic.
