Hmm, maybe that can be combined with making the code future-proof for
a client-server split?

Neverwinter Nights has all ingame objects split into two classes, one
for the server and one for the client. Only the client structures
contain the model, for example.

From what I've seen, the later games continue to do that.

That would probably make the handling easier, yeah.

Make sense.

Yes, makes sense as well.
