    Feargus Urquhart, president of Black Isle studios, has answered a few questions about Icewind Dale II (and a few other interesting things) over at GameSpy.

    Icewind Dale was (justly) praised for its music (by Jeremy Soule), is he involved in this sequel? What about portrait artist Jason Manly? Do you have any celebrities doing voice work for this game?

    It was great working with Jeremy Soule, but with his busy schedule it wasn't really in the cards this time around. So, we have Inon Zur doing the music, who was the composer for both Torment and the Baldur's Gate 2 expansion pack. We've been very impressed with what he has done and are hoping he'll work with us again in the future. As for the portraits, Jason Manley decided to leave Black Isle late last year, but did a number of portraits before he left. After Jason left, we asked Justin Sweet, a long-time Black Isle artist, to fill in and come up with more portraits. Justin has done an amazing job and has really captured the feeling of Icewind Dale in the portraits that he has done. Some people might recognize Justin's work from the Magic of Faerun and Forgotten Realms Dungeon Masters guide from Wizards of the Coast. He was responsible the cover artwork on the Magic of Faerun and pretty much all the artwork that can be seen on the DM Screen.

    GS: Can you tell me about your next game? You know, Planescape Torment 2. Don't be coy!

    Feargus: The funny thing is as time goes on I think more and more about us making a Torment 2. I don't know if it will ever actually be in the cards, but the game did better commercially than a lot of people think.
