hey everybody i'm halfway thru the original neverwinter nights and was thinking about installing hordes of the underdark so i can access some of the new feats. will i lose my previous save games if i install it? thanks!

Hi there..

The answer is no you can install HotU and still play you old saved games,but i must admit i'm not sure if you get more feats etc while still playing neverwinter nights. The only thing i tried to do in my old saved game was look in to my npc's inventory and it would not let me do that.....

Hope someone else can help out here.

I must admit that I'm unsure.

Normally - when starting a new NwN game after installing either SoU and/or HotU you get access to the new feats, classes and skills. You don't however get access to the new henchmen AI/Inventory stuff. So no organising henchmen inventory in the original NwN (withouth community made modifications).

However - I'm unsure how the game would react to an existing savegame. Rationally - I'd suspect you could continue to play your exisiting save games without problems, and that you would now get access to the additional feats, skills and classes. However, I've never tested this personally, so I can't say for sure.
The reason I think this, is because the game is so modular, that each chapter is a differnet module in its own, and thus actually an individual game in the game as a whole. Therefore I dont see problems with it......
But as I said - I haven't tried it myself.

If you do try it, remember to back up your save games, so you always can revert to the old setting if things dosen't go as planned. Your experience with this would actually be appreciated, so if you try it, please come back and tell how it went

ha ha ha, ok i'll let y'all know.
