Quote:I don't know if they would honor a replacement CD for this game without at least a damaged CD in exchange, because the CD key offers little copy protection. What's to stop multiple people from playing NWN at the same time with the same CD key, other than their good word? It wouldn't hurt to toss out an email and see.
If you are only missing the HotU disk but can play NWN gold, that should good for a hundred hours or so (or a few thousand with all the user created modules). If your wife likes it enough to play that long, NWN Diamond edition sells for like $20 or less. AV software occasionally gives false positives, but I don't think a cheap expansion pack from a dubious source is worth the risk of screwing up a new computer.
Well the x-pak offers 20-new feats, new playable spells, etc. But ultimately I think it's too dangerous to use the ISO I downloaded so now that I'm at home, I'll try emailing Bioware. There's a good chance I'll just go DeeBye's route and end up purchasing it..... again. I hate it when I can get the Diamond pack for like $20 at Fry's but total I'll be spending for this game series will be $20.00 (Gold pack), $24.99 (Hordes), $5.00+$3.00 Shipping (Hordes... again) = $53.00 for a game series I never got into. Oh well, thats the way the cookie crumbles.
