    GameSpot has also posted its preview of Neverwinter Nights 2, focusing on single-player, graphics, and the toolset. A quote:

    Unfortunately, game is still a ways from completion and details regarding the story remain scarce. We do know that Neverwinter Nights 2 will use the 3.5 edition of the D&D rules, though there will be modifications when required to make the rules conform to a computer role-playing game. The bard class has been improved quite a bit, and now you have access to multiple bard songs, as opposed to the single bard song seen in earlier games. Yet perhaps the most interesting new addition is the warlock class, which is a first for a D&D computer game. The warlock is an attempt to make magic users a lot more useful, especially at early levels, when they're ridiculously weak. That's because the warlocks only have a handful of powers, but they can cast them at any time, as much as they want. This gets rid of the need to constantly rest to "memorize" or recharge your spellcasting ability, like you have to do with the sorcerer and wizard classes.

    This Warlock class, is that something official from WotC or is it an invention of Obsidian? To me it awfully sounds like a Sorcerer with unlimited spell castings per day.

    Nope, it's official... it's been discussed here before a while ago.
