Here's something along the lines of Neversummer 5 ... how about the about to be relased....
Sword Coast Legends?

It really looks like what NWN2 should have been, it's a lot more like nwn1 than nwn2 was, ie; the world building is much closer to nwn1, and the animations, models, art, everything is approaching next-gen but looks toned down and styled in a way not going for hyperrealistic but it has a really cool DM mode and there is a lot of talk on people planning on creating persistent worlds already and the game isn't even out yet.
The limitations may be they appear to only have 6 classes, but it seems like everything can be changed and modified to your liking so that may not be too bad, also a new 'NS5' could be built with pvp balance first and just let pve be as it happens to turn out and tune that etc..
Food for thought anyhow.
