Neverwinter Nights 2
Storm Rider:
So if you can endorse two games in a decade, then I am not interested in your opinion, sorry.
Dimmukane:
Even if it's competitive, they've indicated that you don't have to have written bestseller or even anything approaching a book to get the job. Former/current Dungeon Masters are much more likely to be their kind of writer, so I'm going for it.
On a sad note, my copy of NWN2 is too scratched for my drive to read, and I fall well out of warranty (90 days, right?), so um...yeah. I'll see what I can do.
Narr:
Download it.
You can buy it from their store online and download it, never requiring a CD key again. If you don't have the expansion already, I suggest doing that when you buy it. That's what I did. No CD required. It's very helpful.

They've hired accountants over accomplished authors and screenwriters, so this could be your chance to get an awesome job. I know I'm trying.

Oh, they've gotten some good writers, believe it or not. I was a big fan of NWN fan-made modules, and there was a project called the Paladin trilogy - easily the best modules I've seen, RP-wise and buildwise. Unfortunately it never lived to its name, as after the second module - Midnight - the guy was hired by Bioware. And speaking of fan modules, that's easily the biggest appeal of the old NWN: it had insane replayability because there was just so much stuff for it, and it ranged from diablo-like clickfests to some hardcore roleplaying. The Shadowlords/dreamcatcher campaign, for example, had me captivated for longer than any of the official modules. Just check nwvault.ign.com and http://nwvault.ign.com/reviews/index.php?topic=71.0 in particular; many of the high-rated modules imo rank higher than a few of those can rival any of the official campaigns. I last played A Dance with Rogues*, which later won the module of the year award for 2006, and it sure deserved it - although I'm less than happy with the ending, but I guess I just wanted to do a liiiitle more.
*: btw, the module is rated mature, and they mean it.

Wait, anyone could write for them? As in if I sent in a book to be published they'd probably publish it?
