Tags: Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of the UnderdarkThere's a preview of Hordes of the Underdark over at Action Trip, dealing with a bit of the story, character creation, and other features of the second expansion pack to Neverwinter Nights.
As an improvement over Shadows of Undrentide, the developers decided to incorporate a fast-paced opening, filled with a variety of missions, side-quests, new monsters, and a whole bunch of NPC?s, to keep you on your toes right from the start. We were rather pleased with this step up, due to which players won?t have to wait too long before tasting some of the new content. But, before delving into the gameplay itself, we spent some time testing the character creation system. In its basic form, the character creation system is very similar to the one we saw in the original game and SoU, so NWN fans won?t have any difficulties getting through the process. Everything is intuitive and easy to master, so it shouldn?t be a big problem for those of you who are less experienced in the ways of RPG lore. The time around, you?re able to experiment with new prestige classes, new portraits, new heads, and new voicesets. Another interesting thing is that the single-player campaign was designed strictly for level 15+ characters. There shouldn?t be any worries if you don?t have one, seeing as the game levels-up any character automatically at the beginning, regardless of its experience and appointed prestige class.
Well, now there's a plus. You don't have to play through the first expansion or the original game to start this one.
