NWN used a modular 3D system that enabled people to create their own dungeons/overland areas with ease. For BG you'd have to get people to hand-draw excellent background maps and then get someone to programme the game into them, which is a lot more work.
As the devs say on Twitter, there's some stuff they can do, but it's limited as BG was never designed to be fully customisable/modular from the ground up, whilst NWN was (and part of the reason why it's a bit bland, as the textures and designs had to be applicable to all manner of fan ideas and modules).

Apparently "enhanced" editions of both... one wonders what that's supposed to mean exactly.

When you say mods, does that include third party mods like tutu and unfinished business? *NM*

If they implement a NWN-style editor allowing custom adventures, it could get interesting.
