Neverwinter Nights 2 Officially Announced

An anonymous reader writes "Looks like Atari has just announced Neverwinter Nights 2, to be developed by Obsidian Entertainment, the same ex-Black Isle folks who are making Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic 2 in conjunction with BioWare. However, it's 'scheduled for release in 2006', so we've got a while to wait." A post on the Obsidian forums has a single piece of concept art, and it's confirmed that "[Original developers] BioWare will provide tools, technology, and game assets from the original Neverwinter Nights as well as lend creative input and oversight to the development process."

scripting language

Well.. I loved playing the first nwn, and hated everything about the scripting language. I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone that happy about the way nwscript turned out to be. Lets hope they get things right this time around.

Yeah, it's a great game. I just downloaded it off P2P this morning. They are getting pretty fast about posting new stuff before it's released these days...

P.S. Go up to the first orc you meet in willowriver, and say, "Lucas" to him. He has a great little easter egg speach about how Episode 3 turned out.
