First, I feel I should address this "Gypsy" issue. The word itself refers to a stereotype of nomadic people who borrow from cultures and typically are entertainers or "rogues." That Romany people may or may not be gypsies is another thing. Romany people need not say that they are "gypsies," since that's actually a different term, and definately not one given to them by themselves. Let's not say that Romany = Gypsy, because it doesn't, and therefore there's no need for anyone to get their feathers ruffled.
As far as NWN goes, I think that so far there's a bit too much combat in the included story (I felt shades of Resident Evil from time to time) and the idea of hiring henchmen seems a bit stilted to me (the old "You walk into the One-Eyed Hippogryph Bar and meet some mercenaries..."). The 3rd edition rules are a great improvement toward making more realistic and flexible characters.
The voices are a bit "cartoony." Who wants to use that "idealistic female" voice, anyway? The difference between the BG2 voices and these is like the difference between undubbed anime and dubbed anime. *shudder*
