Neverwinter Nights 2: New Interview at Gamecloud

As you may have guessed from the title, Gamecloud has the latest interview with Ferret Baudoin and Chris Parker from Obsidian Entertainment.

Gamecloud - How will the game's storyline relate to the original?

Ferret Baudoin - We're set after the events of the first game and its expansions, and the world definitely has reacted to those events. At the end of the first game, Neverwinter city had really been mauled by enemy forces. The Hero of Neverwinter pulled off of a victory, but the price was steep. So Lord Nasher has been rebuilding the city and that has had a host of consequences. The story of our game, though, really doesn't relate to the first set of games. The Forgotten Realms is a constant source of intrigue and adventure, so ours is a new tale in a familiar land. But players familiar with the first game will see some old friends.

Knowing you, a mere snippet isn't enough to satiate that depthless void inside, so we shall stand patiently aside while you devour the rest of the interview here.
