Will classes still have alignment restrictions? (I ask because a recent interview about NWN2 seemed to imply that players will not be choosing an alignment up front. So, this makes me wonder if Chaotic Evil Paladins and Lawful Good Assassins are possible).

Ferret: Yes, classes still have alignment restrictions. And if you choose a Warlock, Paladin, or Monk initially then you won’t start off at True Neutral like everyone else. I think the system we’re adopting for the original campaign should make it fun for people to develop a character concept then stick to it and see what alignment you wind up (something people may remember fondly from the Ultima days). We have some fun moral choices throughout the game – so occasionally you might have to sit back and ponder some deep thoughts before you make your choice.
