Hordes of the Underdark Goes Gold

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the duergar-drow-and-svirfneblin dept.

MattW writes "Bioware announced that Hordes of the Underdark has gone gold. This is the second expansion pack for Neverwinter Nights, and the first to be developed in-house by Bioware. It's also the first CRPG to feature 3rd Edition epic levels. Looks like it will be fun. Some of the biggest requests from the custom content community are in, like custom talk-tables, that should allow for a much better level of customization for the game." I can't say enough good things about the Neverwinter Nights titles, but if this game is anything like the last couple, it's going to steal a lot of my time. I hope I manage to make it home for the holidays.

    I'd like to see graphs of rising game sales vs. plummeting airline ticket sales.

    Correlations, anyone?

  2. Such names... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Funny
    I realize that these sorts of names are traditional in fantasy games and (bad) fiction, but jeez! I read it as Hordes of the Underdork. (Better than Hordes in my Underware, I guess.)

    Many years ago, I wrote a random name generator program for these sort of names. Maybe I should sue?

  3. Hordes? by digitalgiblet · · Score: 3, Funny

    Hordes? All this time I've been waiting with baited breath for Whores of the Underdark and it turns out to be Hordes! Damn!!!

    barely got 4 hours of sleep last night

    So you used to play NWN, but can't cope with only 4 hours of sleep in a night.

    Obviously you can't have played much of it ;)
