    Some official info on the 2nd expansion for NWN2.

    http://ve3d.ign.com/articles/news/40147/Neverwinter-Nights-2-Storm-of-Zehir-Announcement-Screenshots
    Fact sheet and 5 screenshots.

    http://pc.ign.com/articles/891/891207p1.html
    Walkthrough of opening with some story description.

    Key points:
    - Fully creatable party system with more dynamic relationships
    - 3D overland map with interactivity (search, evade, listen)
    - Tweaked merchant system
    - 2 new classes (swashbuckler and prestige Doomguide)
    - 1 new race
    - New gameplay elements
    - $29.99
    - Q4 release date

    :)

    And as a bonus, for those of you still waiting for MOW, the DRM patch is still holding up the release. We can wait longer anyway, right? :rolleyes:

    Here's a video of the intro though to help pass the time.

    If your out of warranty, a $50 external LG will blow the doors off any internal laptop drive..heck I use one with my 5 month old laptop, around the house that is.

    Back to topic..looking forward for the expansion as well.

    Awesome! Thanks for the linkies. I hadn't known another expansion was coming out. Mind you, I have NWN2 and MotB sitting on my shelf as backlog. Need to play it one of these days!

    In case anyone missed it, there's a bunch of new stuff out for GC 08. Here's all the new content; use the tabs on the left to navigate.

    http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/neverwinternights2stormofzehir/videos.html?tag=videos

    New 10 minute video in-game on menu, gameplay, and overland map. Also there's 2 dozen new pictures out.

    Last but not least - release date. Looking at news sites and retailers, seems to be either Nov. 4 or 21.
