Shadows of Undrentide Interview

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the hack-and-slash dept.

GameSpy has a new Q&A up with Trent Oster and Darcy Pajak, the producer/project director and assistant producer of Shadows of Undrentide, the upcoming expansion to Neverwinter Nights. The new features of SoU, which we first mentioned a while back are touched on, including a more engrossing plot, prestige classes, new tilesets (snow! finally!), new feats, henchman inventory control, and more.

  1. Finally! by DarkBlack · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's good to see that they are adding back in the ability to manage your henchman's inventory and lootable corpses a la Baldur's Gate Series Games.

    Neverwinter Nights lost some of the verisimilitude that the Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale games had. It's also nice that Bioware has admitted that NWN was a bit lacking in the story department. The later chapters were decent, but Chapter One was way too slow.

    A lot of the feats look good and I like the idea of Prestige classes being added. I hope the implementation goes well for these as I look forward to the Arcane Archer Class.

    As an aside, I would like to say "Please fix your Page layout GameSpy! It looks like crap in a Gecko based Browser!"
