Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer Q&A

IGN had the opportunity to sit down with Obsidian Entertainment CEO Feargus Urquhart and learn more about the team's upcoming Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer expansion pack. There isn't a whole lot of new information in the interview, but it's a good refresher:
Q: The inventory system in NWN2 was inconvenient at best, are you making any overhauls for the expansion? Will those overhauls be retroactive for the base game?

A: To be honest, I'm not sure yet if we will be able to overhaul the inventory system before we ship the expansion. It's on our list of things to do and pretty high on there as well. We did address this issue some for the official campaign in Mask of the Betrayer by revisiting how we handle loot and crafting - you'll have less inventory clutter and more interesting items.

We are also working on other things that are just as important to the NWN community, like an improved version of the DM Client with a newly designed Party Control Bar. Plus, we are working on a new overall control scheme for the game and optimizations to the rendering engine.
