Neverwinter Nights has been around for a few years now but long-time fans might still be itching for more from the franchise. At this year's German Games Convention, IGN had the pleasure of sitting down with Matthew Rorie from Obsidian to join in on a demo of the second expansion for Neverwinter Nights 2, Storm of Zehir. While IGN was certainly interested in the demonstration, it looks like a good amount of the info was already covered a few weeks ago at E3 when Steve wrote up a preview on the expansion. So while IGN was only able to see the beginning sections of the game which they have already discussed, they did learn a number of new details that might whet your appetite for the upcoming addition.
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!
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."
