No Nehrim was released as a complete game. There are still some things, like quest, which have an open ending (can't be completed yet), since the SureAI team still works on adding more stuff into the game, especially for characters above lvl 30. On the other hand this also means, that even if you finish the game now, you have something to look forward to in future relaeses. The only real bugger is the unfinished smithing (you can only make basic weapons, even though there is an option for better ones), but I didn't play the latest version, so can't say that for sure.
Yes, Arktwend is a prequel to Nehrim, though it doesn't continue in the story from it. The gain from playing Arktwend first is a more clearer view on the story and world you get to see, since you will have some pre-knowledge the other players don't have. And of course you can encounter some of the people you already know, see the ends of stories, which began in Arktwend or visit the places you know once again. It is a nice feeling of nostalgia walking on the same land as you do right now.
lol You may wait forever like this, since the guys are 'always' working on new updates. It's true though, that the version right now should be a lot cleaner.
Hmm, I don't really remember the dialogue with the Kanzler anymore, but I guess he has mentioned Calisto, right? If so, then you already did meet him in the tournament to get into the city. He was one of the man in capes, who attacked Kanzler's guards and also the one, who shouted at you to not show your face to the Kanzler.
That was it! Calisto! Thank you so much! This was really bugging me, I couldn't remember who that guy was. Good to know I didn't skip anything.
Oh, and since I'm here, does anyone know how to set the gamma option back to default? I've searched all over, and haven't found anything.
Turns out this whole 50 plus hours I've been playing Arktwend, the Morrowind Graphic Extender wasn't working. I guess it doesn't work if you launch the game from the launcher.
It started working, after I got Raptr to launch Arktwend, instead of Morrowind.
And it seems the Morrowind Graphic Extender makes the local map look much much darker. So I messed the with the Gamma setting to see if that would help, it didn't, and I couldn't remember what the Gamma was set to as default.
Why does the Morrowind Graphic Extender make the local map so dark? The world map isn't any darker.
Edit: Alright, one last edit, haha. Where in Stormwend do I find the person Antonia for a City Guard quest? I've looked all over, and can't find her. I found her in the NPC tab in the Construction set, but it doesn't say where she is.
Also, where are The Great Mountains at? For the Stormwend Ore.
Spoiler Just started the main quest, had to leave Stormwend in flames, I will be able to return at some point right?
