There's a new preview of BioWare's <b.Knights of the Old Republic[/b] at GameSpy. Here's a bit:

• 
  As with those addicted to BioWare's Neverwinter Nights, you'll have plenty of character control. You'll have to be ready to tweak your character's statistics to almost insanely detailed levels -- everything from your strength to computing skills can be fiddled with, and contribute to how well you interact with the environment and enemies. Buy a variety of items from shady Twi'lek vendors, and then optionally spend at least two hours swapping the dozen different blasters for the one that smokes the Sith Soldiers you'll be shooting at.
  

Yeah, large variety of character roleplaying and interaction is what we all loved NWN for!
