Product DescriptionNeverwinter Nights 2 (NWN2) is a computer role-playing game set in the fantasy world of the Forgotten Realms, one of the popular campaign settings of Dungeons and Dragons.

Rating: - Best expansion game I've played
I don't usually expect much out of expansion games, but this one impressed me. In fact I think its the best expansion game I've ever played.

Also, the companion interface is now better, giving you an idea of where you stand with your group and granting different bonuses on these interactions. The combat has greatly improved, and looks awesome when all ... Read More
Rating: - A great game marred by a silly "feature"
I have mixed feelings about this expansion. Mask Of the Betrayer has caused me to do something I haven't done since the nintendo days, cheat. I've never used 'cheats' for a game. But when mask of the betrayer introduced the ridiculous spirit meter system, causing me literally hours of pure frustration, I resorted to the only thing that would allow me to experience the game.
The spirit meter looks good on paper - introduce a system that makes your choices and tactics more meaningful by restricting ... Read More

the spirit energy angle ruined it for me. Would like to have spent more time in the adventure and less time looking for spirit energy.
