    Hmmm, u're probably right... Maybe an evil rogue-ish character? Another romance option?

    I thought the girls (or gay men) needed a new romance option more to be honest.

    But I'm just happy Neera is back. I felt awfully bad about leaving her behind in my only BG EE run so far cos I was sticking to canon party only. I look forward to partying with a wild mage in my second run, and taking her all the way to the end with BG 2 EE :D

    I don't think it's Caravella. Cos her portrait isn't in the party in the picture that mentions that name. I think that's the Charname, but I'm not sure.

    "A mysterious thief in service to mysterious master seeks powerful artifacts from across the globe."

    Shudda spotted this sooner. So she is definitely a thief. Probably evil or at least neutral to give evil parties a proper thief option.

    @KidCarnival - why are you attacking our NPCs?

    The devs have been dropping hints for a while now - no confirmation that she's evil, but she was definitely intended to serve as the party thief for an evil PC.

    Interestingly, her description seems to imply that she actually is a thief, as opposed to assassin or shadowdancer (which was the popular pick) - this is a very good thing, because it means she'll be useful in the early stages of Athkatla when you really need someone to handle traps and locks.

    Yes, upon closer observation it definitely seems to be Hexxat.

    Or maybe the devs were devious enough to make sure her name will not appear in any screenshot presented pre-release. To keep a small shroud of secrecy and the fans waiting.
    Caravella and Hexxat are spotted on more occasions (video+screenshots).
    That would be too easy.
    The devs are better than that.
    I believe, that it will be neither Hexxat, nor Caravella. Those were the PC names of the testers.
    Remember...there was nothing about Baeloth being in the game...until the gamers found him.
    I believe (and hope) that Phillip and team keep their biggest surprises in the bag...waiting...

    @Southpaw: Caravella is the name of the character at the top of the roster - bearded dwarf (you can tell because towards the end of the trailer he gets a Color Spray to the face).

    We already know the new NPC is both a thief and a female; in the trailer scene with the forest, the player is pretty clearly clicking on a hooded thief with a bow whose name is Hexxat.

    Granted, they could just as easily change her name if it's not the "final" version... but hey, we've got to call her something, don't we? :)

    Well... Them halflin's are okay and humans ain't too bad, it's just elves I cannae stand.

    But seriously there should at least be a Good or Neutral Dwarf in BG 2 EE. I hope they add more NPCs in DLCs.

    Im very happy with the news and all. But I wish they'd fix the 'homepage link' on the logos at the top of the page.

    Wut? Well, I was *not* expecting this! I thought the fact that the patch for BG:EE isn't even going into open beta until September, meant that we had a year or more to wait for BG2:EE.

    I'm overjoyed. I think my plans for Thanksgiving and Christmas just changed. ;)

    Is there any chance that the BG:EE patch might be in final version by October, so that I could start a new BG:EE character and have him through BG:EE by November?
