Spanish NWN2 website Neverwinteros has news on Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir, an expansion for the D&D RPG sequel that Neverwinter Nights 2 Vault has confirmed with developer Obsidian Entertainment. Word is: Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir hearkens back to the days of the Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale franchises by including full party customization, dungeon crawling, and free exploration of a non-linear game world via an Overland Map. The gripping storyline foreshadows the events that will take place in the Forgotten Realms with the coming of release this June of the Fourth Edition of Dungeons & Dragons® Roleplaying Game.
GamersGate are having a massive weekend sale offering 66% off Neverwinter Nights titles.
NWN2 has been patched to 1.23, which has finally added a multiplayer file auto-downloader, and many other in-game fixes.

Great day for the NWN2 mod Community.
Hopefully people will make the transition from NWN1 who didnt join us before!
Very true... I just have a problem with those huge polygons from the first now that I play nwn2 =P
NWN1 was still a great game! I put a lot of hours into it back in the day.
I've had a copy of Neverwinter Nights 2 signed by Obsidian dev team for a couple months now. /brag
I haven't played it, though. Maybe I'll try it out this weekend.

I'm not one of those people. I'd much rather champion a developer who tries new and interesting things but sometimes fails, rather than simply going along with a developer who clones ideas and succeeds. But something just seems to be wrong with Obsidian. They usually come up with good ideas, but can they actually develop games? Can they finish a project on time and without a plethora of bugs? Recent evidence suggests that the answer to these questions is "no," and Storm of Zehir, their latest expansion pack for Neverwinter Nights 2, is at best a black eye for them."

I can't believe Obsidian Entertainment did not get a hold the Fallout franchise, the NWN2 engine would've been ideal.
