Spindoctor, KOTOR 2 has been the first Lucasarts game I've owned in a long time that didn't get continued patches to fix the problems with the game. Also the first Lucasarts game that has patches done for it by the community to fix the bugged quests. Hell even the Xbox version had bugs out the ass.
And there are certain companies (troika, taldren) that no matter which publisher they go with just can't release a decent bug free game. So only time will tell.
But one of the features I read about awhile ago when IGN had the first screen shots of NWN 2, was that all outside texturing etc will be more like a paint program instead of tileing.
