The reason I'm excited about the second episode is that it shall be developed by Obsidian Entertainment, which now contains some key figures from Black Isle. Chris Avellone, the main writer of Planescape: Torment (which I regard as the greatest RPG of all time) is writing for NWN II. [img]graemlins/showoff.gif[/img]
The fact that Obsidian Entertainment is the developer is that part that really scares me. Nobody is still sure who's responsible for KOTOR 2, whether it be Obsidian or Lucas Arts but that's an example of a game that was rushed to market before it was ready, huge bugs, cut content etc... Don't get me wrong KOTOR 2 was still a good game, but it could have been a great game if the time was taken to finish it.
