It is a big day for Neverwinter Nights 2 news.  In addition to the leak of news about the expansion (see below), patch 1.05 was released today.  The patch notes discuss numerous bug fixes and some additions, the most notable being a beta implementation of Multi-Select. This is available in the game client and the DM client, and allows for selection of party members with mouse commands and with a "lasso", it seems, as in Baldur's Gate.  This is invaluable in the DM Client, and handy for the control of companions in the game client.  As far as patching for our weekly playthrough of the boxed campaign, I will make a decision in a few days, after I see what sort of stability reviews the patch gets.  {mos_fb_discuss:14}

 EDIT: Obsidian has pulled the patch temporarily due to some issues it created with the toolset.
