In case you missed it, the Community Update #10 is up on the official forums. Most importantly to us is the following:
| So, this week we're going to try and load you up with information to help clear the air and set the record straight on a few things. The first being the DM Client. The DM client will not ship with the game in the box. We looked at a number of different scenarios and the best one that the team decided upon is to release the DM Client in full as a download the same day of the release. So while it will not ship in the box it will come out with the game. That's the official word as of today. |

WOOT!
That I can live with. Actually it makes a lot of sense. Saves Disc space and those who want it can d/l it.
I am curious what they mean by "full" but I will be happy with basic with the promise to add new features in a patch.

Very good news and I am quite content to eat my words of doubt earlier. However, I would not be surprised if the outcry that followed the initial release was a factor in Obsidian electing to push forward so quickly. If anything, the myth that the DM Client is inconsequential (not here, of course, but a view held by many who hold the SP campaigns up as the Holy Grail of NWN) has been dispelled.
I will definitely do my best to support the development of the Client and of DM-friendly content upon release.

Noting that Bioware just announced another premium module for NWN1, even if NWN2 flops and has no support, I am fairly certain that a large number of hacker/programmer/die hards will keep it running for years.
I am very pleased to see they are coming out with a DM client right away. I agree, there are going to be bugs, I have never seen a software project without one. Hopefully they will be minor and quickly fixed.
