I recently bought the Neverwinter Nights Complete Edition and to my dismay I found out that it doesn't  contain the advertised premium modules. I bought this collection in the EU and am nay sure at whom I shall fire my rockets of nerdrage. The box says the compilation was published through Atari S.A.S Lyon France and that the Koch Media GmbH is the distributer.

I am 99 percent sure that the files of Kingmaker and Mysteries of Westgate are not on one of the three dvds since I had a look at the wxs of Neverwinter.msi (dark -o e:\\neverwinter.wxs Neverwinter.msi) after I couldn't find them ingame/infolder:

C:\\Program Files (x86)\\GnuWin32\\bin>grep -i westgate e:\\neverwinter.wxs

Are there any known legal patches or who should I contact for the matter?

And on a general sidenote: It is annoying when publishers/rightholders/distributers bring out compilations of real classics and then FAIL because they did not compile them carefully. This is the second time I bought an epic RPG collection and unnecessarily got disappointed *winks at Jowood while thinking of Realms of Arkania 1-3*.

Did you try installing the game? Because heck would have been raised if they'd left these out in general. And they are listed on this UK site for instance. http://www.gamersgat...nights-complete

I had the collection installed twice already before I was using these tools to check if the files are even on DVD: http://wix.codeplex....ases/view/75656

I bought the collection in germany and know for a fact there was a delay between the release in the US and at least germany. It came out not too long ago maybe a month or two here in germany and I believe half a year ago in the US?

Also on amazon.de there are two people stating they have the same issue. It's really sad because I bought this compilation only to have access to the premium modules. I do own three copies of NWN with all addons and two copies o NWN2 with all addons...Well I guess thats four and three times now

I would talk with the company that sold you the product then. EU has really strong consumer protection laws.

Okay I guess I write Koch Media at first then I dislike the thought of a refund I'd much prefer to gain access to the premium modules!

[kamal_]

Well, once you have the refund, you can buy from elsewhere. I can't believe this happened with all their copies.

What I find odd is you are right that there are not many folks reporting this issue maybe there are some prints gone wrong and the rest is okay. I gonna wait until I get a reply from support of the distributer (Koch) to see what they have to say.

Edit:
Will post in here again when I have answer from Koch - the mail is out and written in a polite manner.

Not entirely related, but

C:\\Program Files (x86)\\GnuWin32\\

Backslashes, program files and gnuwin? Excuse me, but what system are you on?

[passionata]

I am currently using Win7 (64bit) and have quite a few programs from Unix/Linux installed. Have a look here if you are intrigued: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/

Its really useful to be able to use tools from a system which one already knows I love awk,grep,sed,wget and others I even use them on AmigaOS3.9

Heh, but thanks, gcc is enough for me.

If you look on the Ossian site, they say that MOW is not being sold in Europe any longer.
