 I want to ask to people that experienced both NWN2 and DA Toolsets.

I'd done a few things in NWN1 Toolset, but never used NWN2 and DA Toolsets.
Dragon Age graphics and level design is amazing, therefore I wanted to start using DA Toolset.
But a few things confused me. For example DA seems have very few creature types inside the game. however, in NWN2 we had lots of different creature types. I don't know if these NWN2 creature models can be extracted to DA for using in mods. Also, NWN2 were looking like more flexible than DA. For example dialog options, in the Zehir expansion, we could select different characters during dialogs and affect dialog flow with this. For another example, In Zehir and in Betrayer expansions we had 3d maps that we can walk on. These kind of things get me curious about power/functions of DA Toolset.

So my question will be this;
If you used both Toolset and understand functions both of them, can you tell if DA Toolset is an upgraded version of NWN2 Toolset, or a program for completely different purpose?

In this wiki page: http://social.biowar..._other_toolkits It tells that DA has better features than NWN2, but I wonder the practical usage...

NWN2 toolset was made by Obsidian and is for a different type of game (multiplayer/PW support for instance), but clearly has many similarities to NWN1. I haven't used any of these toolsets but I would imagine that DA differs insofar that its systems share more in common with KOTOR than NWN1.

Both the DA and NWN2 toolsets are upgraded versions of NWN1. They are siblings. They each have features that the other doesn't have.



My big gripe is a lack of creature scaling in DA. This feature in NWN2 allowed a lot of creative solutions to problems. There are other features in DA that I wish NWN2 had though. Like the morph editor and cutscene editor for instance.
