Neverwinter Nights 2 Class Mods
This Neverwinter Nights 2 mod, Return of the Exile, is a campaign which takes the players from level 1 to 15. 500 years ago a great war happened that left the country in ruins. Now, a young person goes on a quest to prove something. A quest doomed to fail from the start. How can the two events be connected? Games with a large modding community manage to maintain replayability since their birth, and some players find that additional content is inherent to the RPG experience. This article will list some of the Neverwinter Nights 2 mods which have made the 'NWN Vault' hall of fame and are still being played to this day.
I’ve been craving a good RPG — specifically D&D, and something set in the Forgotten Realms. After much debate, I settled on NWN2. (I can’t do BGII again. I’ve played it to death.)
I know my D&D, and I know the Realms, but I have some questions before I go down the rabbit hole:
Character limit: How many of my own created PCs can I have in my party in Neverwinter Nights 2? From my Googling, it looks like 4. Is that right? And if so, can I increase it to 5+ with a mod?
Graphic mods: Jester rounded up some “essential mods” here, with emphasis on graphic mods. Would you add anything to the list?

Character editor: I’m an old pen-and-paper player, and I like to have total control over my characters, even if it means sometimes bending the rules and taking a feat or spell I’m not technically allowed to have (the 2E books used to encourage players to bend the rules, so long as it wasn’t overpowered and it suited the character and campaign).
Is Vordan’s Hero Creator powerful enough to do that? Or should I look at an external editor for total control of my characters?
Modules: I like my D&D pretty dark and mature and close to the source material, like LotR or BGII. Can someone recommend modules in that vein? If modules get clownish or juvenile, I lose interest real fast — for example, if someone makes an adventure where I’m supposed to fuck a kobold, I’m gonna turn that off right away (there are some things that even I won't do for 20 gold pieces).
Lastly, what does it mean when Neverwinter Vault lists mod requirements, such as “OC” or “XP1”? Does that just mean Original Campaign, and Expansion Pack 1?
