    IGN has made available more of the video commentary with the Obsidian CEO Feargus Urquhart. Here's a snip from the description of the second one:

    As the demo continues, Feargus loads up a new game into the tutorial area of West Harbor, the main character's home town. The game begins in this area, but allows those who have played before or are already familiar to the gameplay style of Neverwinter Nights to skip past it. Either way, the tutorial is designed to introduce the intricacies of the D&D system in the home town setting during a harvest festival without feeling overwhelmed by the enormity of Dungeons & Dragons.

    Next we get a look at the cinematic dialogue look that much of the game will include for story moments as the game progresses. While there will still be dialogue boxes as well, big moments will get the full treatment including lip-synched voice-overs.

    As the game begins inside a house in the village of West Harbor, it was a great time to show off some of the new lighting tricks this highly upgraded engine will bring to Neverwinter Nights 2. All of the lighting is dynamic so as the character moves shadows are case and the moveable camera (with both follow and isometric modes) will allow for some lovely views of some detailed textures.

    Read the rest at IGN.
