* UnspecifiedRoleCredit: Voice actors were uncredited in the base game, while in the expansions they're all listed in the credits under "Voice Acting", with no further indication. Eventually it was possible, in the course of years, to reconnect some voice actors to their exact roles (and sites such as Website/IMDb are being updated accordingly), but for many characters (especially from the two expansions) the doubt remains.

** The Premium Modules ''Witch's Wake'' and ''[=ShadowGuard=]'' are both stuck with NoEnding as only the first episodes of longer stories that were never finished. This because Wizards of the Coast initially said that Premium Modules could be anything except stories set in the ''Forgotten Realms'' seting and so both modules were dutifully set in their own fictional universes. Then for unclear reasons [=WotC=] did a complete 180 and said that any further Premium Modules could ''only'' be set in ''Forgotten Realms'' and this further development of both series had to be cancelled. Thankfully the third of these first Premium Modules, ''Kingmaker,'' was already finished.
