A touch of RTS in Neverwinter Nights 2
Like Kingdom Under Fire and Dragonshard before it, Neverwinter Nights 2 will be mixing some strategic elements into the RPG formula. Now, before fans of the D&D roleplay series cry foul, Obsidian's Chris Avellone explained to IGN that NWN2's "stronghold" system will simply be an element within the game's larger storyline. As part of your mission, you are charged with restoring a decrepit castle to a full, battle-ready garrison using various NPCs. The castle's defense involves army training and management, as well as synchronizing the troops controlled by other members of your party.
IGN has also posted four updated gameplay vids and some new images. There is an additional gameplay vid at GameTrailers.
