Hordes of the Underdark Interview

We've conducted an interview with BioWare's Darcy Pajak and Tom Ohle, asking the Assistant Producer and PR Specialist several questions about the upcoming Hordes of the Underdark expansion for Neverwinter Nights. Here's a little something to get you started:
GB: How many new magic items are you implementing into HotU? Care to detail any of the more powerful ones?

Darcy: There are quite a few new magic items we are integrating into Hordes of the Underdark. We're upgrading all the current weapons and items to have attack bonuses ranging from +5 to +20, and adding a Djinni Bottle which contains a store so the player can buy and sell items as long as he has the bottle and gives it a rub once in a while. We are also adding an intelligent weapon the player can find. This black blade gives the player great attack bonuses, and it has a terrifically sour disposition. I guess I would too after being stuck in the hands of a skeleton for centuries.
