Arkaz is a Neverwinter Nights persistent world. To play, you are required to have Neverwinter Nights and the two expansion packs Shadows of Undrentide and Hordes of the Underdark. All three can be bought in complication packages such as Neverwinter Nights Diamond (US/Canada) and Neverwinter Nights Deluxe (UK).

NWN Version

Please make sure you are running Neverwinter Nights 1.69. The latest patches, as well as details on how to upgrade to NWN 1.69 can be found on Bioware's NWN support website.

Required Content

As well as having Neverwinter Nights, and both the expansion packs installed, you are also required to have the following custom content downloaded/installed. Most of the files are archived (compressed) in either the RAR or ZIP file format to create smaller downloads. They can be extracted with tools such as WinRar. HAK files should be placed in the NeverwinterNights\NWN\hak folder and TLK files should be placed in the NeverwinterNights\NWN\tlk folder (may need to be created).

Custom Heads

~Warning~ This override is only to be used during character creation. You should remove the files from your override folder after creating a character. Arkaz staff are not responsible for maintaining these files, or fixing any problems you may have because of them. Any updates by Arkaz to files overridden by these files will be ignored if you forget to remove the override, which will cause you to see things in game that others don't see (different or missing heads).
