<A href="http://nwvault.ign.com/">NWVault</a> has snagged an <A href="http://nwvault.ign.com/features/interviews/BioWareHotU102403.shtml">interview</a> with some of the <A href="http://www.bioware.com">BioWare</a> guys working hard on <A href="http://nwn.bioware.com/underdark/">Hordes of the Underdark</a>. They even have some <a href="http://nwvault.ign.com/features/interviews/BioWareHotU102403.shtml#screen">screenshots</a> of the thing for you to gander at. Here's a clip:
<br>
<br>
<blockquote><b>1. Can you tell us more about the story and how much roleplaying is there versus action?</b>
<br>
<br>
The Story in Hordes of the Underdark revolves around an Underdark army composed of Drow, Beholders and many other creatures of the Underdark attacking Waterdeep from below. The player is tasked with stopping the attacks in whatever way possible. The player ventures into Undermountain looking for some way to seal off the invasion route from the Underdark.
<br>
<br>
As with Shadows of Undrentide, there is a large role-playing element to this story. Your character has a large impact on the flow of the story and the outcome of the major battle.</blockquote>
<br>
<br>
For example, if you kill the monsters, the story continues. If you don't kill them, it stops. That's the flow, baby!

Slowly, ever slowly, the realization that one random acting NPC isn't making people happy is dawning...

3 more, and better control and its a BG 2 party.
Now they just need to be convinced to drop the ugly, clunky 3D engine and go to an attractive, functional isometric one

About new special effects...
Oh, and as much as I found the idea of the kobold jumpers amusing, visually it just didn't work... theres something about the objects involved disappearing and being reset in new positions that just makes it rather lame.
