A good improvement

I am one of the many people that were fairly disappointed with Neverwinter Nights when it came out. I play only single player games and found the original campaign to be boring. I had the usual complaints about a poor story line, character development and awful henchmen. That being said, I think the Shadow of Undrentide is quite an improvement as far as the single player campaign goes. They did listen to their audience and made significant improvements to the plot development as well as henchmen being greatly improved. I would liked to have seen the this be a continuation of the earlier campaign. I really am getting of tired of playing low level characters. Magic missiles gets very boring and I hate how often beginning wizards have to rest to be useful. In a way I glad they started a new story line because the fist campaign plot was so poor. If I was designing the game I would make it harder and give the single player the option of having multiple henchmen. I really do miss the party aspect of the BG series. I would love to play with a balance party and really form good strategies with all the party members to overcome obstacles. Maybe they will get there with the next expansion. Over all it is well worth the money and an OK game. Lets hope the community comes up with some good modules that take advantage of this expansion.

Heading in the right RPG direction.

A truly fun game true 3d. Being able to control a characters look and status is great. The only shortcoming is the limited team members, and a lack of there owns agenda. I hope there are more in line soon.

Entertaining but dissapointing

This expansion pack has the same quality gameplay at the original Neverwinter Nights. The graphics are good and the game is well done. However...I was generally dissapointed with the game. I used my same character that I developed in the original game which made 95% of the game a cake walk. There was virtually no challenge until the very end. Also I maxed out my character well before the end of the original game and was unable to advance him further in this expansion pack (I did not like this). At the end of the expansion pack I was still using all of my kit from the original game...meaning I ran across nothing of value greater than I was already carrying. So...the game was moderately fun but did not allow me to build on my character and for me that is where the fun is.

Not bad, but my least favorite of the NWN series

I played through this right after I finished the first part. I imported my character in from the previous. Over all, the battles were too easy and the story lacked more than the first. The henchman I took with me was annoying (but the most functional one to choose from). This is worth playing if you want to import your character into the Hordes expansion, as you can gain a few extra levels and unlock some of the prestige classes (all of which are helpful in the next expansion).

Get it

The best game for the PC gets even better with this expansion packs. The much-touted new character classes have yet to impress me, but new items, spells, feats, and henchman interactions are excellent. A must for NWN players.

I was really happy with the expansion to the Great NWN game.
Play is fun and the addition of new classes and monsters is awesome. I can't wait for the next one to be delivered to me

Pretty good expansion

A very nice second campaign if you already finished the main campaign and want to take you character up a few more levels, buff up on eq and even change your character by the new prestige classes. (Or even head over to bioware and download some ultra buffed pre made characters.) Very similar to the NWN. Three chapters in different worlds with unique creatures. The eq in this sequel was very impressive and may even tilt the game, but it is for high level characters.

I can't wait until I get it tomorrow. from what I've heard from the NWN community site, this is going to be THE BEST game I've ever bought. All of the new spells, feats, monsters, tilesets, classes and toolset tools, this is going to be a great gaming experience. I'm still disappointed that the epic levels won't come out until Hordes of the Underdark, though.

soon... very soon...

The first in a planned series of expansions from bioware, Shadows of Undrentide will introduce 50 new spells, 30 new feats, 5 prestige classes, and a host of other goodies.

It will not, unfortunately, support epic levels, so keep in mind that even with all these new choices, you're still limited to level 20. Sorry folks, not until the next expansion.

double-darn.
