J.E. Sawyer, Lead Designer

Quote: 1. Will you be able to create your own items, ala BGII or Jagged Alliance2?

You will be able to create items and improve items.

2. With the 3D model avatars, just for fun -- any possibility for user created skins, like freedom force?

It's possible, but probably difficult unless a fan has DeepPaint 3D.

3. Adventure log: will the somewhat problematic IWD2 implementation of the log be improved upon?

Yep

4. Will the game be available "full sized", so that we can have a full sized manual? Any possibility for a collector's edition?

That's not really up to us, so I don't know.

Quote: Does DeepPaint 3d generate it's own UV coordinates or something zany like that, that would prevent a user from simply opening the file in any normal' ol' image editor?

The texture maps wind up looking very Picasso-ish. It would be possible to open the textures in any image editing program, but it would involve a lot of guesswork and frustration.
