Well, I don't think we'll move from beta to final this month, as there's only another day to go. Still, I'm hopeful I can declare this thing polished and ready to go next month, maybe even in a week or two. The only show-stopping bug I've seen lately is the "crash on area load" one that randomly shows up for a small number of people. I'm putting my hopes in the upcoming NWN2 1.12 patch, as I keep hearing that these crashes happen in the official campaign as well.

I finished cleaning up the last of the DW1 bugs, including some fairly obscure ones. Now I'm into DW2 again. Most of the bugs aren't too serious (other than one person getting the infamous crash), but they're certainly annoying enough to fix. In one case, a magic item with a unique power did nothing. In another, the descriptions for NPCs were showing up with quotes instead of apostrophes. It turns out that copying from Word inserted a slanted quote, which NWN2 turned into a double quote. Swell.

I'm going to spend today fixing as many of the DW2 bugs as possible. If all goes well, I'll get a new build ready for the weekend.

I'm also doing a podcast tonight. Hopefully I won't embarrass myself too badly.
