NWN2: Mask of the Betrayer Developer Chat Log

WarCry has posted an edited log of last night's IRC chat with several members of the Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer development team.
Q: What new races can we expect? what kind of racial benefits?

[OEI]ABobick: Of course the Genasi are the big ones
[OEI]GZiets: also half drow and wild elf
[OEI]RMcGinnis: For the races, we implemented the half-drow, wild elves and what they said.
[OEI]awoo: Those are the player-selectable ones.
[OEI]ABobick: There's also new heads for the humans that represent the Rashemi
[OEI]jkhalife: fire, earth, water and air genasi
[OEI]awoo: For special guest stars, we have a wraith and a half-celestial.
[OEI]ABobick: and the Red Wizards
[OEI]awoo: And another super-secret one that's so secret we can't talk about it until the game comes out.
[OEI]GZiets: the half-celestials kinda rock
[OEI]awoo: Summon Planetar!
[OEI]Jhusges: the genasi have their own WotC-approved special abilities, since the PnP abilities were pretty useless for our game. The water genasi can summon fog, for example
[OEI]awoo: This is true. They also have very cool VFX for their hair, especially the Fire Genasi with the flaming mohawk.
