Neverwinter Nights 2: Shacknews Q&A

The groundhog has come and gone, but the mighty Ferret presses on! Avail your eyes over yon for an interview Shacknews does don:

Shack: Though the game will still focus on the city of Neverwinter, it's obviously inadvisable to simply "port" the city from the original game to the sequel. What changes can we expect to see to the recreated city of Neverwinter?

Baudoin: One of the big map-making changes in Neverwinter Nights 2 is we're no longer tile-based, so that opened up whole new vistas for Neverwinter city herself. Hills, winding roads, parks, etc. are now all doable. So the city may not look much like the first game. You visit some of the same districts (like Blacklake and the Docks). [As far as storyline is concerned,] The reason it's so different is the construction after the war in the original game.
