"The best way for us to answer this big bunch of questions with regard to XP2 is to say that the D&D 3rd Edition rules are exceptionally broad, with a huge amount of potential content that we can access in both the first and the second expansion packs. We're watching the various message boards and online polls on feats, classes, and skills, and we're choosing new content based both on the desire of the fans and the technical feasibility of the features. We've got some big plans we're putting into action with these two expansions that we'll detail further in the coming months.
A few specifics to mention include ..... an additional goal of making the henchman much more interactive, and we're exploring the possibility of having more than one henchman in the second expansion pack. BioWare's upcoming Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic will feature an expanded party system, as will the new PC intellectual property we're currently working on, but not yet talking about.
With regard to the new monsters, they can best be described as "bigger and scarier!" As Ray mentions above, we are able to pull out all the stops in our expansions and sequels as the designers have greater skill and experience they can apply to creating new content. Not only will the monsters in this second expansion pack be bigger and cooler, but they will also be considerably smarter as we have plenty of time to design new and powerful AI systems for creatures and enemies to use.
..... Because we have more time to work on the second expansion pack, it is a bit more ambitious in terms of the scope of the new programming features, art, and design. We're planning some very cool features that will take us more time to develop--things like supporting higher-level characters and supporting a very cool area of the Forgotten Realms that our fans have been asking us to put in the game.
More details on the features of the second expansion pack will be revealed a bit later in development.... but we did want our fans to know that even more features are planned for the second expansion and that it will be a worthy addition to the Neverwinter lineup. .....we'll do our very best to compete to make a great storyline for the second expansion as well.
