First of all; Fanboys should be pounded and grounded and the dust that is left when done should be sealed in concrete and shot into space!
Secondly: Favourite henchemen? Aribeth? Linu? Bah, take it from a lone hunter, you want something done? Do it yourself!
Pathfinding and scripts for henchmen in NWN is only beaten by DaiKatana... (overdramatic!
)
Serious note:
I don't trust gaming companies further then I can throw them these days. 3D Realms is the latest company actually doing something good by releasing a huge Demo for Prey. (If you haven't, try it and smell what it used to be when consumers still were important...) Atari is going down and leave a mess for modders etc to fiddle with to get some playablility with. Unfortunately we have had enough of those games and what we needed would be a "real" NWN 2, continuing the concepts of the original title.
Well Dragon Age is probably going to be sweet, when it is released in a duo pack with Duke Nukem forever...
