    Here are a few bits of information from the Official Neverwinter Nights message board.

    Trent Oster, Producer:

    Release Date: We haven't released a ship date for NWN. Our policy is to not state a date until we are completely confident of hitting it. NWN is a massive undertaking and everyone on the team is pushing as hard as we can, but we are still a way off from shipping.

    Saving a Game: We plan on allowing the server operator to save the game at any point. This means in the single player game you can save at any time. The save game files might get a wee large if there are a large number of objects, etc... in the game though.

    Combat strategies/Scripts/Customization for Monsters: NPC combat strategies are completely scripted. Customize at will.

    Scripts are called by creatures, areas and modules through AI driven events. You can attach scripting to items through area scripts looking for the "tag" of the object you wish the custom script to work for. We built the system this way to cut down on AI time running the game. If every weapon in the game had AI time this would quickly become a slide show.

    Yes, creatures have skills, feats and spell like abilities. Creatures also can have up to three classes, one of the classes is a "monster class". So you could have a dragon who has 10 levels in Dragon and 10 levels as a sorcerer. In short, we've gone overboard with customization for monsters.

    Hope this helps. Sorry for not posting more frequently lately (Too few hours in a day).

    Number of players: You can have as many people in your party as there are on the server, as people join your party their portrait will appear on the right side of your screen (if you chose to view them) and if you get more than your screen can hold it will scroll. Also they are putting in an option to just have each PC's name and condition without the portrait to take up less room if you prefer.

    Various comments: Yes, there will be a set of tools for making your own in game cutscenes.

    Yes, and you can even control light levels on a per tile basis through a simple slider bar in the toolkit.

    Trent on Trading: Quote(Trent Oster, NWN Producer, when asked if there would be trade windows and secure trading.): Yes. Secure trading is a must. If you had to drop items and trust the other person, very little trading would occur.
    :End Quote

    Logging events: There will be a world log/journal that will record major events that you'll be able to view.
