First, as I saw on the IRC channel, a new NWN premium module from Ossian Studios came out, "
Darkness over Daggerford". It's a free 200Mb+ download but it's supposed to be worth it. There are tons of new content and 3 tilesets from
DLA - so lots of new stuff.
There's an
interview with the head of Ossian Studios, Alan Miranda, on the Bioware site.
About NWN2, there's an
interview with Chris Avellone about NWN2 and a short blurb on it Slashdot's article "
Gencon 2006 in a nutshell", which I'll quote here...

Another very familiar face was Neverwinter Nights 2, the unapologetic sequel to the 2002 Bioware title. Essentially 'just' a prettier version of the first game, with updates to the Dungeons and Dragons 3.5 rules-set, it was still one of the most popular PC games at the convention. The module construction tool was available for perusal as well. While I only had a few minutes to slap together a bare-bones adventure, the whole experience was very intuitive. They've obviously made some major improvements over the Aurora set, and have made the members of the (still-active) Neverwinter community very pleased.
