Neverwinter Vault has posted a review of the Neverwinter Nights presentation at GenCon. The author also took several pictures of the game, (some of which are better than others) that you can see here.

The Toolset used to create modules was shown more extensively. Seeing the beautiful and potentially exotic armor was a sight to behold. Some very attractive and gaudy combinations are possible. There are many different textures available for each type of material, i.e. cloth, metal and leather. The tattoo designs were very cool, and the combinations of tattoos, and clothing means that is is very unlikely you will meet any two characters who look the same. The paint command was very powerful looking, and they demonstrated how once can change which tile was painted down by repeatedly click on the tile to be changed until the tile you seek has appeared. The lava in the evil dungeon tileset was shown to actually "flow" in the Toolset itself. The created areas were rotated in the toolset to get a more of a player's point of view. The lightning generator effect in one of the rooms was chosen from a list and plopped right down into the room, not complicated at all. The game did seen to load faster than in the movies I had seen before, and the sounds were excellent. The lightning bolts were extremely impressive, those with a good PC sound system will be very happy.
