Are there going to be any more playable races?

Maybe down the road, yes, you'll see some familiar Dasarian races which are currently non-playable. What you'll definitely see out of the gate are multiple subraces of humans with unique attributes and background feats.

Only under 4th edition rules, under 3.5 Tieflings only occasionally have tails, or horns. Hell, some tieflings are described at looking perfectly normal human, or just having cat-like eyes, they range drastically.

Two points: you're right, Das has it's own lore. And I think I can safely say that there's never been a tiefling with wings. There has been one PC with wings that I know of, and she was a half-fiend. PC tieflings with tails and horns, yup, seen those (on Das1 no less, where people played subraces to RP subraces, since there were no subrace stats)

To approach your second point: You're right, it isn't the Forgotten Realms, it's Dasaria. However, the source I linked to for the description and the books I'm drawing from aren't books specific to the Torril, Greyhawk, Dragonlance or Dasaria, they're the 3.5 Dungeons and Dragons rulesbooks. While the DMs are free to change whatever they want ("Rule 0", it's in the 3.5 DMG under the section titled "Can the Dungeon Master Cheat?"), last I checked Dasaria stuck pretty close to the generic rulebooks when it came to racial descriptions and such, which is what we're dealing with here.
There's a bit of logic in high lvl Paladins and Favoured souls having angelic wings.
Allow me to reiterate something: I'm working off the rulebooks when I'm mentioning these things. Under the rulebooks there's no reason for Paladins to have wings. Favored Souls, however, get them at level 17ish. It's in the Complete Divine sourcebook, under the Favored Soul entry. I should also mention that the book Complete Divine is a settingless sourcebook, not specific to any one setting.

I should also point out there's a feat in NWN2:MotB called "Wings." You can add it to any creature, of course, but the basic idea of the feat is to give a tangible benefit to having wings (it gives a +20% movement speed bonus). If any creature, or player, has wings, it be my opinion to give them this feat, as it just makes sense.

Favored Souls in NWN2 get Haste instead of wings, for the record

Probably for the best that they get Haste. Of course, not that Haste works that well, compared with NWN1.

But, still.

While normally, as anyone who gets to know Phelan know, I cannot use spells tied to negative energy, Thread Necromancy is not powered by such magics and I can do it if I so desire.

In this case, I want to request this be included. It's a fix to allow the Dispel series of spells to be targeted at creatures, as per there description in game. This is especially important considering the penultimate of the dispels, Disjunction (a level 9 spell) that's suppose to merge the dispel, assay resistance and breech spells into one buff stripping package cannot be targeted individually and used for just that. A significant nerf on a 9th level spell.

Tile sets and monsters. LOSB for certain. Would be a terrible shame to go back to the buff balls prior to the Override.
