If NWN2 and/or BG3 isn't made by BioWare, I would be very skeptical about blindly lending it my full support.
On the other hand Bioware has more or less stated they veiw their secret upcoming game based on thier own intellectual propety to be a "spiritual successor" to NWN. This sounds promising as is cuts out the third party license holders (Atari, WOTC) from nixing creative design decisions for thier own reasons.
I do think Atari's best choice would to be to tap BioWare for future incarnations of NWN and BG simply because they have an excellent track record doing these types of games and have the built-in name recognition to support such titles as well. Of course Im just 'little ole me' with very little say beyond ramblings on a message forum.
