It’s time to check your auto-updaters, Neverwinter Nights 2 gamers. Rob McGinnis, Obsidian Entertainment Community Coordinator, has announced the release of Neverwinter Nights 2 patch 1.11, and the current patch notes for the system update mention some fixes which addressed some long-standing issues with the game.

For one thing, stealth now works as intended. Furthermore, the Duergar race had their effective class level fixed, so that they’re now ECL +1 instead of ECL +2. There are now also fixes for the scimitar, morningstar and club, making them the proper weapon classes that they ought to be.

In any case, below is the currently-listed notes for the patch. Check your auto-updaters to see if it’s already out, and enjoy!
