will NWN2 use the Aurora engine?

Archived from groups: alt.games.neverwinter-nights (More info?)

Not sure if this is all known yet, but I'm just wondering if learning
the current toolset for NWN will help learning the new one, or is it
going to be something different?

Obsidian is trying, as much as possible, to keep things the same. The
major overhaul in NWN2 will be the graphics engine. The RPG portion of
the Aurora engine will remain largely in tact, as will the scripting
language. So, familiarity with the current toolset will give one a huge
leap in understanding NWN2's toolset.*


*Subject to change within the next 1.5 years while the game is under
development.
