<a href=http://www.gameplasma.com>GamePlasma</a> have <a href=http://www.gameplasma.com/reviews.php?id=167>reviewed</a> <a href=http://www.bioware.com>BioWare</a>'s latest NWN expansion, <a href=http://nwn.bioware.com/hordes>Hordes of the Underdark</a>. HOTU scores an <b>8.6 out of 10</b>.

<blockquote>What attracted me a lot was the fact that the story unfolds in a really interesting way. For example the conversations unfold depending on what kind of a player you are, what henchmen you have with you, and how you play your cards. I should also note that Hordes of the Underdark is considerably funnier than the previous games. Deekin, whom you may have met in the first expansion, can be a great asset to your little gang - and not just because of the boost spells he provides, but also because of the witty banter between him and other members, or his rather strange monologues.</blockquote>

I'm sure there's an extensive (I mean repulsive) romance for the kobold NPC written in, too.

It was written in as a joke, though. I think it's kind of funny. However, there's probably people who will get off on that and somehow manage to 'relate' to Deekin, probably due to their own kobold-like nature.

God damn freaks. You should see the some of the posts in the NWN forums. Stuff about loving Imoen.. ugh.

Bioware got fed up one day and deleted most of them.

Perhaps; but as much as I dislike Deekin, Jar Jar still wins the 'Worst Of" award. Probably, because he is the "original". And, not that it takes much, but Deekin has more depth than JJ.
