Voodoo Extreme has an interview with the Associate Producer of the up-coming RPG Icewind Dale II: Doug Avery. Here's a piece of the article:
Icewind Dale II Interview 01:53 AM - James "Prophet" Fudge - In-House: Games
If you played Black Isle Studios original masterpiece, then you know that it was an excellent roleplaying game that focused more on exploration and gameplay than on puzzle solving and NPC interaction. Well with Icewind Dale II they hope to recapture the magic formula of the first game and add some spicy 3RD Edition content to the game for what they hope will result in a kick ass follow-up that will get RPG fans coming back for more. This morning we squeeze a few bits of info from Doug Avery, Associate Producer on Icewind Dale II to find out just what they have in store for gamers later this year.

This 7 mb movie will give you a test of the in-engine plus the lighting and shadow of one of the game's characters and his zoomfunction. Because the original (and official) website is a bit slow, you can find mirrors here (here, the movie has been zipped to 5.5 mb).
Note: The movie is in DivX format, so you'll need a DivX player.
Here is the downloadlink (click on "here you find the film").
Mirrors can be found here (at Bluesnews).
