Neverwinter Nights Add-On Analysed

Posted by simoniker on Sunday May 11, 2003 @01:51AM from the always-summer-days dept.

Thanks to the nice people at Gamespot, we have an in-depth look at the first expansion to Neverwinter Nights - Shadows Of Undrentide. This add-on to the popular PC RPG title, which ships in the US on June 17th, is easily classified as 'more of a good thing', with an all-new story, prestige classes to extend your character's abilities, and the vital Bigby's Crushing Hand spell. You can find more info on the official Shadows Of Undrentide site.

Witch's Wake was an interesting Mod (as in Modification, and Module) to be built out on top of the existing NWN system. It didn't really add any new classes, spells, etc - so I guess it's not really an "expansion" - but the effort put into it was over and above that of most modules released to-date for NWN.

BG2 for the PS2/X-Box looks really quite good. I was impressed with the first one as well. Nice action-game adaptation of the D&D system - great graphics, and a whole mess of fun. The only thing I wish the sequel had was network play - but I guess we'll have to wait for BG3!
