    Dave Gaider (Senior Designer) had a few more comments on the upcoming expansion.

    Wild Mages in BG2: Yup. Nahal's Reckless Dweomer was actually in BG2, just not implemented because we didn't have the resources to finish off the wild mage as we would have liked, nor to test it out properly.

    In the expansion, there's Nahal's Reckless Dweomer plus several other wild mage spells as well as a list of over 100 wild surge effects.

    High level Druid abilities: We don't intend on telling all prior to release, as much as I'm sure you're anxious to find out about all the abilities and such. Suffice it to say that druids will now be able to achieve the higher levels the same as a cleric will, will have some of their own high-level spells as well as some unique abilities and shape-changing forms...just as you mentioned.

    As to what, exactly, those will be...like I said, you'll just have to wait. Sorry.

    Playing as a God: The only system I can recall that dealt with this sort of thing was the old Immortal set for D&D...the third in the series following the original 'Basic' and 'Expert' rules. I never played them, myself, though, so I have no idea how good it is.

    The fact that it sort of dropped out of existence not long after release is probably an indication.

    You're right, though...playing at the level of a god is a practical impossibility, except as a strongly-themed campaign, perhaps, in the hands of a good storyteller. You might be better off with a Peter Molyneaux game, though.
