The new NWN2 interviews are worth reading, a good amount of new info... it uses the same engine (but it will be greatly improved obviously). It'll still be one character (but they're going to have multiple henchmen, like the expansions). You'll start from level one again (being that at the end of the NWN expansions you're level 30, which is about as high as you can get in D&D). Too bad about one character, but it is possible certainly to do a good single-player RPG if it's done well... see Ultima or Diablo... but this is D&D. That's the biggest problem here. This is D&D, and D&D was never designed to be a game you play with one character. It just isn't as fun and leaves you with a much more tedious play experience -- you do a lot more clicking badguys adn a lot less strategizing.. For multi as I said using one character probably works best, but for solo... Well, I guess all I can hope for is a lot of control over your henchmen. D&D's about parties.
