Following the climactic battle against the King of Shadows, you awaken alone and stranded deep beneath the earth. A dark hunger grows within you, threatening to devour your very soul. Will you fight against the hunger within or will you embrace it, revelling in your newfound power? Set in harsh, spirit-rich Rashemen, near the powerful nation of Thay, this expansion presents players with an exciting new 20-30+ hour campaign filled with meaningful choices, rich characters, and surprising outcomes. Continue the adventure of your Neverwinter Nights 2 character or create a completely new epic hero – no previous experience required. Hundreds of new gameplay options include epic levels; feats, spells, races, and classes; powerful weapons, armour, and crafting options; and hordes of diverse creatures. Major improvements to the franchise include: enhanced graphics, including extensive use of specularity, environment effects, and normal maps; improved performance; streamlined party control; and an easier to use and more powerful toolset. Play the official campaign either alone or online with your friends. Stunning new environments include the Astral Plane, sunken Imaskari ruins, a Thayan wizard academy, and the Shadow Plane. Explore an amazingly reactive world, where your decisions affect those around you and the passage of time realistically impacts gameplay. Switch seamlessly between exploration and tactical combat with the immersive, over the shoulder view of Character Mode and the top down perspective of Strategy Mode with its RTS-like controls. Combat and negotiate with dozens of new creatures including many D&D favourites such as blue dragons, treants, hags, solars, and the two-headed fell troll. Choose from over 20 classic and exotic D&D races, including the new genasi: planetouched humanoids hailing from the elemental planes of air, earth, fire, or water. Customize your character with over 60 epic feats including the monk's Blazing Aura, the rogue's Epic Precision, and the druid's Dragon Shape. Master more than 50 new spells, including epic spells such as mass fowl, damnation, and vampiric feast. Play new D&D classes such as the Red Wizard of Thay, spirit shaman, and invisible blade. Collect souls from defeated foes to create mighty artefacts using an expanded item enchantment system. Create your own D&D adventures to play with friends online with enhanced modding tools. |
