With NWN it was a clusterfuck going through all the hoops on the Vault (which was an IGN site), a bit too messy. Despite that, NWN did make a strong case for user content more than any other game, you can't imagine what people came up with. If the DA campaign is shit you can be sure someone will trump it by using the toolset. “Which costs money.” and time.:)

Following that logic any user content for the 360 version would have to be distributed via the Marketplace, consequentially requiring it to go through testing and verification. Which costs money. I'm doubtful it will happen, in other words.
