There's <A href="http://videogames.yahoo.com/gamepreview?cid=1991549031&tab=previews&page=0&eid=424331">a preview</A> of <A href="http://www.atari.com/nwn2">Neverwinter Nights 2</a> over at <A href="http://videogames.yahoo.com/">Yahoo Games</a>. It's pretty brief with only a paragraph or so on any subject, but there are some choice quotes from various members of <A href="http://www.obsidianent.com">Obsidian</a>. Here's a bit on character building:
<br>
<blockquote>The Third Edition rules were somewhat "front-loaded," which made it easy to have a strong character not long after starting. However, the new system gives players reason to get excited at each level, which "changes the flavor of the game quite dramatically." Other improvements to the single-player game include better spell balance, ability refinements, and a damage system that's more challenging in combat. "It should be a much more satisfying experience," said Baudoin.</blockquote>
<br>
I somewhat agree with this. At around level 10 or so, your build is probably already as shaped up as it needs to be. You're just icing the cake after that. If they go with the resting system of <a href="http://nwn.bioware.com">Neverwinter Nights</a>, then your spell flingers are probably barrels of whup ass already by that level.
