It is a continuing commitment to the Neverwinter Nights community showcasing the developments made by various content developers and delivering an exciting new official storyline to the many fans of NWN.
Too bad it's not (dead, that is). If this is supposed to whet my appetite for premium mods, it does so the same way syrup of ipecac makes me hungry. It's not good enough to finish. It's dry as toast, the story (as far as I got) is thin as Oliver Twists's gruel and the isolation of the PC makes this the module equivalent of solitary confinement. Is it too much to ask for a mod that doesn't involve traveling to other planes and saving the world? No it's not, because there are plenty of community-made mods that fill the bill. The best thing I can say about it is "Ugh!" Maybe that's why they're giving away the "premium" version for free with the purchase of that other "premium" mod.

excellent atmosphere, the story sounds interesting, very short though

Very immersive, if a bit short.

Witch's Wake is not dead. If you go to Bioware's NWN site, you will see that they are selling new modules in the Store button at the top of the page (pretty good price range too!). Witch's Wake is a free module that comes with one of the other (not Kingmaker, the other one, slips my mind and the site is down :( ). From the sounds of it, the whole caboodle is in that free mod. Go check it out.
