NWN2: Mask of the Betrayer E3 Previews

1Up and GameZone have both whipped up previews of Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer, after seeing the expansion pack firsthand at this year's E3. A snip from 1Up's article:
Community modders and multiplayer also get plenty to look forward to. For the level builders new tilesets, including snow texture sets open up a whole range of new possibilities. Recognizing the negative impact performance problems have had across the board, the tech team is also working on the multiplayer side of the game. Specifically, connection stability and dm client upgrades for managing persistent worlds hold a top priority.

And a snip from GameZone's article:
Mask of the Betrayer introduces Red Wizards as a prestige class and a new race called the Genasi, a group of half-breeds incorporating earth, air, water, or fire elements. Players will be able to begin the game by bringing over a previous character, by starting a new character from scratch, or by using a pre-loaded character.
