An Add-on pack gives a developer a chance to reconsider where they went wrong in the original game. While some stuff can be sorted in a patch - which they have done - there's still some regrets which Obsidian plan to rectify. "I think the largest regret that I had about the original NWN2 was the overall look of our levels," Feargus laments, "We put a lot of time and effort into the new graphics engine and into the look of our levels, but we just didn't get a few things right. And of those few things, I think lighting was a big part of our levels not being what they could have been. So, on top of some of the things we've done in updates for graphics, like renovating every tree in the game, we are making sure in the expansion that we are spending the time we need to get the lighting right. Since we are spending so much time on it, we are also putting things in the toolset to make using lighting easier for modders."
