    Eurogamer has posted a somewhat peculiar NWN 2 review in which the author starts off by saying he's never experienced the full potential of the original NWN. Obsidian's Ferret Baudoin, however, seems to be his hero hero. Here's a snip:

    I never experienced Bioware's Neverwinter Nights in its full splendour - I was probably busy jumping on the heads of turtles. But, sitting in a rather plain office at the back end of Atari's Lyon headquarters, watching Obsidian Entertainment's Ferret Baudoin go from playing a very pretty, fully 3d PC RPG, to an interface that allowed him to toss houses around, blend them together, insert demons and then spawn them 300-foot high, piqued my interest. Whereas NWN always sounded clever to me but a bit clunky, witnessing the NWN2 toolset first-hand pumps elixir into that little bit of my heart reserved for things like TrackMania, RollerCoaster Tycoon, and Far Cry Instincts' level editor. Making your own 3d environments is often hard; NWN2 can't boil it down to child's play, exactly, but it certainly looks like I could figure it out. And it's a 3d world that it's promising. Far more than a level.

    Read the whole thing at Eurogamer. Screenshots should appear on Monday.
