They really look more like KOTORII to me. But then without the empty hallways.
All in all, this game seems mighty worth it, I have a AMD XP2400, 1.5 GB ram and a GForce 6600 256 MB. And it runs on everything off except textures high. It still look way better than nwn(or oblivion in my opinion). I don't get any real slowdowns, but haven't been in any combat yet. The new character system is simply to cool and varied, so I'll spend a lot of time testing chars. Subraces is a nice touch. Also, I like the amount of dialog choices and importance of skills.
