NWN 2 - Mask of the Betrayer Gamespot Q&A

Filed in archive Game Previews on April 30, 2007

Ah Neverwinter Nights 2... Love it or hate it, lets face it - the new expansion Mask of the Betrayer is coming. Although i am interested in dusting off the old NWN2 and loading up my ambidextrous fighter, what im really I'm hoping for is for the expansion to resolve some serious gameplay performance issues in the original.

Earlier this month, Atari and Obsidian Entertainment announced Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer, the first expansion pack to last year's acclaimed Dungeons & dragons role-playing game. Neverwinter Nights 2 was the follow-up to 2002's popular RPG, and it reintroduced you to the fabled Sword Coast of the Forgotten Realms campaign setting. It also delivered an excellent story (which won GameSpot's award for the best story of 2006), as you adventured around the Sword Coast to save the city of Neverwinter from evil. With the expansion, developer Obsidian hopes to top itself. To get some of the early details on Mask of the Betrayer, which will ship later this year, we turned to lead designer and producer Kevin Saunders.
