If you take a look back at the original Neverwinter Nights you’ll probably notice that while the vanilla version of the game wasn’t bad, it lacked polish and had a campaign that was mediocre at best. Its expansions however ended up fixing pretty much all of the shortcomings of the original and brought forth singleplayer campaigns which are amazing even by today’s standards. Fast forward a few years – Neverwinter Nights 2 came out and although a solid game it suffers from a poorly optimized engine and a decent, but slightly boring story. Can Mask of Betrayer repeat the success of the original’s expansions and be what NWN2 should have been from the get go?

I just really wish I had the time to devote to this. I loved the original NWN and the sequels/addons.

Things are looking up, though. Some really cool games out and coming out soon.
