Well the core rule books of 4.0 D&D is just around the corner. Maybe it would breath new life into NWN 2 to make an override to covert the rules to 4th edition D&D.
Like this 3.5 edition hak. That took NWN 3.0 D&D to 3.5 D&D.
We are implementing many 4E races, the 4E timeline, while retaining all the great 3.5 game engine we all know and love. _________________________ Darkpowder.

After looking at the final release books (Players handbook) I can honestly say that people should wait for the next D&D CRPG for 4th Edition rules; ECL changes can be made to the existing races, but that is really about all that is doable in NWN2 without deeper access to the game engine.
not totally no, at best name changes to skills, racial changes, removing of the ecl, some of it is doable just not all of it, at best you would get a hybrid of the two.
you would not get paths in it, you would be stuck with the 3.5 classes and the prcs.
so you could get the races, id like to have the 4.0 tiefling over the 3.x as no ecl race was really worth the ecl they had, not the planetouched, nor the underground pc races either.
Won't happen. Have you looked at any of the preview 4E material? Its a completely different rule set. So much of NWN is hardcoded 3.0 rules. You can only do so much with 2da's. 3.5 was a modification and tweak of the 3.0 rules. The core mechanic was unchanged. 4E? Entirely new core mechanic. Maybe NWN3. . .
