    Yes, if I can only give up the first one!
    Er, when's it out again?

    PC Games (Germany) says 2nd quarter 2006. Which would mean it's released within 8 weeks. But then, when have estimates in game magazines ever been precise? By the way, according to that article, the sequel is astoundingly close to the original. Urquhart said in an interview, he wouldn't fix what isn't broken (and right he is). So it won't be hard to give up the 1st, Duke.

    Yeah, and maybe they will have people working on skill balance this time. The bar has been raised.

    Skill balance or spell balance?

    To my knowledge, there are no overpowered skills (but there are utterly useless ones). There are, however quite a bunch of overpowered spells (like Harm, IGMS, and all these fancy high level necromancy spells) and feats (HIPS for an example). Would be nice if they'd get a slight nerf, and/or the others a slight raise. It'll be enough for a start to lower their DC a bit.

    Ha, all spells are skills to me, though not vice versa. Bad habit from GW.

    A Finnish game magazine said it'll be out in September. They played it safe and didn't specify a year though.

    Looks interesting, but also looks old school. I think that I'm getting too used to 1st person perspective.
    We're sorry, the voices in my head are not available at this time. Please try back again soon.

    I played a NWN mod (or maybe it was the Underdark storyline?) with a castle defence once, it wasn't terribly well executed but still fun. Done well, it could be awesome.

    Yeah you probably mean the Underdark scene where you fight off the armies to protect the seer. It's pretty poor I agree.

    My guess is we shouldn't expect NWN2 before november.
