Hmm, I really don't think it'll happen, I bet things have run their course between BlackIsle and BioWare... Last I heard, BioWare's involved with their Odyssey engine for that new StarWars first-person RPG project with Lucas, hope that's a good one for BioWare's sake, but I don't know how that format can compare with BG2's depth. I dunno but the extra dimension (3d) seems to gobble up all the processing power that could be used for NPC interaction, etc...
Maybe the BG2 mods will grow in number, with the same spirit as the original's writing - that'd be swell. Never needed to try a mod yet, but maybe later.
[And re replay value - I loved Half-Life enough to actually play it through (almost) 3 times... When I got BG2, I absolutely never, NEVER imagined that a RPG that takes months to finish could be replayed, and here I am two years and 6 plays later feeling like I could replay it twenty times - the cheapest 50 bucks I ever spent on a game]
