Various odds and ends from the resident fonts of knowledge on IWD2.

True strike - yes or no: I don't think True Strike is in the game.

Katana info: Not all katana are of the quality you describe. Most of them were downright crummy. Katana also never had to deal with heavy armor or extremely heavy blades in the hands of their opponents. A katana of high quality slapped by a heavy high quality European weapon would probably shatter; they aren't meant to parry in the manner that European blades often were. That said, there are no katana in IWD2. Also, there were martial arts in Europe as far back as pankration.

Presenting the game at E3: If you're looking for something in IWD2 that will knock you on you’re a** in a five-minute presentation, you're not going to find much. That's what pretty much every press person gets when they come by a booth at E3. We talk to them for about 3-10 minutes about the game, hitting the high points and showing them some gameplay and interface.
