Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer

[Gorion]

Atari, Inc today announced the development of the next chapter in the Neverwinter Nights role-playing game saga – Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer. Developed by Obsidian Entertainment, the expansion to the award-winning Neverwinter Nights 2 is set in the Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) Forgotten Realms universe.
 
 
*Spoiler* Following the climactic battle against the King of Shadows, the player awakens alone and marooned deep underground. Surrounded by a flock of evil spirits, the player embarks on an epic adventure that reveals his true destiny.
 
 
Set in harsh, spirit-rich Rashemen, near the powerful nation of Thay, Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer will include an exciting new campaign, a multitude of new feats and spells, new races, base classes and prestige classes, new companions and new weaponry, armour and crafting options; hordes of new monsters; and enhanced modding tools – the list one has come to expect.
 
This is what the developers had to say:
 
« Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer's engrossing campaign will conclude the storyline that began in the original Neverwinter Nights 2 and focus on combat, exploration and classic D&D dungeon-crawling » said Feargus Urquhart, CEO, Obsidian Entertainment.
 
« We're also making new advances in story and character development as well as improving upon the acclaimed companion Influence System used in both Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords and Neverwinter Nights 2. »
 
Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer will be available in North America in fall of 2007.

Ill do that soon.. Loved the first one.. Influence system? do you have an old lady following you around like the one in KotOR2? She was always ****ed at me, no matter what I did :sideways:


Quite a long time to the expansion.. Is it that big?

and yeah you do have a selection of companions + your own keep ^_^
 
not much of a romance tho
 
but, having both elanee (your wild elf druid "love"), neeshka (theifling rogue) and the ironfist dwarf(dwarf warrior, and if you complete his quests can be turned into a monk) in the party is guaranteed to make you laugh. theres also a human(sandra jerro, warrior) that falls in love with you, but she ends up fried by ammon jerro (her uncle(warlock))
