The Electric Playground have posted a Shadows of Undrentide interview with Darcy Pajak, assistant producer at BioWare. Here's a couple of the questions:

First, warm us up with a bedtime story--give us the basic plot of the Shadows of Undrentide expansion.

The basic plot is that the player is an apprentice for an old adventurer who has retired to a small village called Hilltop in the Silver Marches. Your mentor is attacked by an old enemy and some artifacts are stolen. The journey the player takes to regain these artifacts and the places he goes make up most of the adventure.

50 new spells and 30 new feats, huh? Which ones do you think will have the biggest effect on the game, or be the most popular with players?

There's something new for every class in Shadows of Undrentide. For example, the Druid gets the Drown spell, Clerics gain the Shield of Faith, and Paladins gain Aura of Glory. Fighters gain the Great Cleave feat, which allows the Player to keep hacking monsters until they are out of range (or dead). The most visually stunning of the new spells are the Bigby's Hand line. The FloodGate artists did a very good job in creating the effects for these spells.
