    Better Encounters
    The encounter system has been made more flexible, so it's easier to control what and how many creatures spawn. [​IMG] That being said, in spite of the improvements I'm sure there are still scenarios where it can't do exactly what you want -- in which case the encounter would have to be set up through script.

    "Z-Axis" Placeable Rotation
    CID is right... in NWN1, you could already rotate stuff about the "Z" axis, but not around the X or Y. In the NWN (and NWN2) game engine, the positive Z axis is "up", but such labels are completely arbitrary. "Up" could just as easily be the Y axis, or the X axis, or the J axis, or the peanut-butter-and-jelly axis. There is no real standard. But to answer the original question... the magic 8-ball says "outlook good".Edit... But let me actually qualify that a bit and say that you will probably be able to freely rotate *some* placeables, but not all. This is because of some technical reasons that I'm not at liberty to discuss at this time. ;)
