IGN has posted an update of Neverwinter Nights straight from the show floor at E3, along with most of the screenshots that were posted earlier at Gamespot.

First off, the graphics are sharp and it's going to be hard to go back to flat sprites after seeing this. You can play from a pulled back perspective like that of Baldur's Gate with most of your party in view, or you can get in real close to your character with the more traditional, over-the-shoulder third person point of view. The only you can't do is control your character in the first person point of view, the reason being -- I was told -- that they wanted players to be more aware of their party around them. Otherwise all the little graphic flourishes are there -- flame effects on demon wings, translucent spell energy, rippling water, the works. It's been in development for a while and the graphics aren't the best of show by any means, but they'll more than do.
