DB-Forge has posted an interview with Senior Designer Dave Gaider. Dave talks casually about things like wild mages, dragons and some of his favorite SF and fantasy authors. Here's his impression of Neverwinter Nights:

DB-Forge: Exactly how high is the drool&faint-factor when walking by the NWN offices? Could it prove to be a fatal experience for a non-prepared gamer?

Dave: It’s less now that I’m working on the project, but it’s still pretty high. I think the real stun factor comes when you get into the game a little and learn about the scripting language and what it can do…how much was learned and improved from our BG experience. I’m also pretty impressed at just how much the whole team is determined to cling to…they refuse to compromise their vision of what NWN is meant to be. That’s really cool to be a part of.
As for the unprepared gamer, I don’t know about fatal…but you might want some extra layering for when you pee yourself at the occasional surprise.
