Couldn't be more excited 'bout it myself. I have played NWN since it first came out, and it is the ONLY game worth playing IMO.
The development teams looks really good too. Most of them (or at least the core) are the reminants of Black Isle Studios, the brains behind BG and BG-II. Check the NWVault for updates regularly.
It will only live up to the first if it includes a toolset and DM Client like NWN. I only play Multiplayer and DMed games. Adds a whole new dimension to the game.
If you haven't tried MP or DMed games with NWN yet, then you certainly should. Check out Neverwinter Connections for a game in your timezone:

NWC is hosting an upcoming Online Convention called NWCon 2.5. It is scheduled for the last weekend of September. There will be IRC chats, In-Game seminars and a whole boat-load of open and application DMed games. Check it out if you have nothing better to do... hell, take time off of work for it. I am!
