Q: Are there any plans for adding more types of familiars to future games? Or a system other than alignment for determining which familiar you'll get?

A: By future games, I'm assuming you mean NWN. With NWN, I know that familiars and animal companions are being included...and while I don't know if there will be 'more' types than in BG2, there will certainly be different ones. 3rd-edition familiar rules make the familiar and animal companion more of a core feature for their respective classes (as opposed to a 1st level spell), so they will have considerably more utility. You also get to select what your familiar is (as per the 3rd edition rules)...it isn't assigned to you based on alignment or chance as the 2nd edition spell is.
