You will not find anyone in alfa who can do everything and not possibly loose their job in the processes.
You sure about that?

All placables must be converted except those with walkmeshes that you wish to be used.
Incorrect. Environment objects do not have collision boxes and therefore have no bearing on PC or NPC pathing or LoS. You should balance the trade off between pathing and rendering, not just blindly convert everything to an environment object.
Large city areas MUST be converted to environmental objects and the doors mass set as static to prevent door removal.
Incorrect, see above. Most placeables should probably be converted but not all of them or you can end up with quite odd looking navigation around the area.
A 3000 year old city should not look like a ramshakle slum with rutty paths and bad shading.
Unless of course its the ramshackle slum which makes up almost half the city.

Here is the first look of Waterdeep and what we're working on.

The City Gates
The Docks
Slums
Valkur Shrine
pragmatic (adj.)
The opposite of idealistic is pragmatic, a word that describes a philosophy of "doing what works best."
From Greek pragma "deed," the word has historically described philosophers and politicians who were
concerned more with real-world application of ideas than with abstract notions. A pragmatic person
is sensible, grounded, and practical.

Hi boom,

This stuff looks really good and is que exciting.

If I might, Id like to second the idea of combining with Skullport. I dont know faeryl's feelings on the matter, but she has a good bit of Skullport proper and even a couple levels of Undermountain built. This is classic Waterdeep adventuring territory and would not only be a fun and exciting place for players to adventure, itd give another starting place and hub for evil and Underdark adventurers. It could be a good draw for new and returning players alike.

Keep up the good work!

This looks amazing. The building is happening so fast and very efficient. I look forward to Waterdeep actually happening. I think it has great vision and a great force behind it.

Let the games begin!
