Neverwinter Nights 2


Published by Atari Inc.
Developed by Obsidian Entertainment
Released 2006
Genre Adventure, RPG

Description :

This is a sequel to Neverwinter Nights , brought to you by Obsidian. The game uses AD&D 3.5 edition rules. As its predecessor, it comes with a multi-player feature and a tool-set that allows you to create your own campaign.

The game is set in Forgotten Realms, in the area around City of Neverwinter. The player has again the opportunity to play as a number of different races, but this time you can play as sub-races too - want to play a sexy drow, or does a naive wood elf suit more to your fancy, or perhaps a duergar will satisfy your lust, or even a tiefling if you bend that way.

The young hero of the game lives in the tiny village West Harbor with his (or her) foster father Daeghun. One day the village is attacked. Your friends are killed, and you barely survive. This is your first confrontation with a mysterious evil that threatens to take over Forgotten Realms. You must now travel to the big cities and to search for clues...

Unlike its predecessor (and similarly to classic Infinity Engine RPGs), party members will join you, and you'll be able to control their actions in battles. As you manipulate, influence, seduce and fight your way through the game, you will see terrible consequences to your actions - made a party member fall in love with you? Watch as he foolishly sacrifices himself for you. Angered some important noble? Watch as she is going to screw you badly over the course of the campaign.

The biggest novelty after all the shiny graphic effects, influence system and the diplomatic twist, is the new stronghold system - hire people from around the world to work in your castle, you`ll get your own tavern with dancing girls, to boot. The only bad thing about the whole affair is that sometimes your enemies want to play Helm's Deep with you and your stronghold.
