Hordes of the Underdark Goes Gold
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.
hello room
Good news; the expansion couldn't possibly suck more than the original campain.
Bad news; NWN still sucks.

Not just a rant, but compared to Baulders Gate 1 and 2, NWN came up WAYYYYYYYY short. The engine, story, and "party" controls were all a huge step backwards. It's only step forward were custom levels being able to be made, but today that doesn't go far enough when people all want a great story and graphics engine (2D please, 3D sucks for this.).
they got a pre-release version and took a indepth look at it. results seem pretty good

Is slashdot paid for this article, poitn to...
There is absolutely no reason why all of these expansion packs aren't released immediately with the original game. Think Frozen Throne. This is a serious shortcoming in new games, and is also demonstrated in movies like Kill Bill. Stop chopping stuff and please give us everything all at once. But of course you can't do that, because of the almighty dollar.
If the story in this release is as uninspired as the story in NWN (Paladin becoming Blackguard, wow, that's a shocker, and it's not even told intelligently she just abandons her title in like what 3 seconds?), it's not even worth to pick-up. 50$ says hordes of the underdark tells the story of a Dark Elf who becomes good and goes to the surface. Wait, haven't i read this one already? In a trilogy?
