Doug Avery from Black Isle answers some more questions about Icewind Dale II over at HomeLan.

HomeLAN - Can you describe some of the new races and classes that will be introduced in Icewind Dale II?

Doug Avery - We are including the half-orc as a new, playable race and nine sub-races in the game. This provides the player with a much deeper level of customization for their characters. You can now play as an Aasimar, a mixture of a human and a celestial being or you can choose to play a dark elf, otherwise known as the Drow, one of the infamous elven inhabitants of the Underdark. These new races have advantages and disadvantages that help to balance them out against the base races provided in the game.

HomeLAN - Will a demo be released prior to the game reaches stores and if so what will be contained in the demo?

Doug Avery - There are no current plans for a demo, but this is subject to change. IF one were to be done, my guess is that it would include the first areas of the game so that people could get their feet wet with the new changes we’ve made.
