Gamebanshee have posted a "hands-on" preview of the second Neverwinter Nights expansion, Hordes of the Underdark. Here's what they said:

BioWare has put quite an arsenal of new features and equipment at your disposal, though, which makes your journey a little bit easier. Most of these additions are geared for the higher levels, since your character won't be starting out from scratch. Take the feat Blinding Speed, for instance, which allows you to cast Haste on yourself once a day. A powerful ability, but only available to those characters with a Dexterity of at least 25. Additionally, for those of you who played Shadows of Undrentide, you'll recall that magical equipment was increased to a maximum of +5 enchantment. Hordes of the Underdark brings the maximum enchantment all the way up to +7 and adds a whole variety of interesting and unique weapons and armor. For example, while searching through some skeletal remains, I happened upon an intelligent longsword that had its own personality and dialogue (on top of its very powerful statistics). Although a talking sword may not sound like much, it adds flavor and a definite fun factor to the already impressive expansion.

Did somebody say "Lilarcor?" Read the whole thing here.
