Product Description
Neverwinter 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. It takes the player from the tiniest of villages into a sweeping tale of danger and war, chronicling their rise from a peasant to a full-fledged hero of the Realms, defending it against one of the greatest threats of the age.
In Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer, players are transported back to the Forgotten Realms shortly after the events detailed in the original Neverwinter Nights 2. Following the climactic battle against the King of Shadows, the player awakens alone and stranded deep beneath the earth. Surrounded by a horde of evil spirits, the player embarks on an epic adventure that reveals his true destiny. Set in harsh, spirit-rich Rashemen, near the powerful nation of Thay, Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer will present players with an exciting new campaign; epic levels; dozens of new feats and spells; new races, base classes and prestige classes; new companions; new weapons, armour and crafting options; hordes of new monsters; and enhanced modding tools.

 crap September 11, 2009

what a pain .... not fun doesn't tie in with the first well .. i am a big fan of nwn i hate this expansion. you have to use cheats to make it even worth trying
 Great, but lacked the expansiveness of NWN2 July 17, 2009
N. Hitt
I absolutly loved NWN2 and the series in general. Mask was a little disappointing though. I became confused with this shadow world vs. real- one and the constant need to feed derailed me from exploring the world.
Overall, nice but lacked the freedom from the first.

Great graphics. Great story. Hours and hours of fun. Time to get back to the game...
A terrific sequel campaign May 7, 2009
Charlie Brooks (Vermont)
When we last saw the hero of Neverwinter Nights 2, he was crushed under tons of rock and presumed dead. The cliffhanger ending was disappointing after a long and satisfying campaign, but now Mask of the Betrayer is here to pick up where the original campaign left off. It does so very well and presents an ultimately satisfying and surprisingly personal story.
At the beginning of Mask of the Betrayer, you find yourself magically imprisoned. Someone has cut open your chest, and there is a mystical hunger inside of you. From here you embark upon a dimension-hopping quest to recover your own stolent soul. While the campaign reaches epic levels and features a couple personal encounters with deities, the story is about your character. This is a good thing, and a rarity among most fantasy RPGs -- instead of trying to save the world from some unseen bad guy that you won't even encounter until the last fight, this time it's about your attempts to save yourself. As such, the game also feels a lot more natural for non-goody two shoes characters. You aren't forced to travel with any companions, although there are several interesting ones if you choose to make use of them. You can be altruistic and try not to harm others, or you can take a selfish path and do whatever is necessary to save yourself. There are no high-level NPCs to twist your arm here and make you follow one path, so the game is really shaped by your character.
For designers, Mask of the Betrayer offers some new tips and tricks, although the actual toolset remains Greek to this reviewer. Thankfully, there are plenty of talented members of the community who have put together some excellent material using the game, so I don't have to struggle with scripting and terrain building. I can focus on the story, which is well worth the price this time around.
The only big problem with Mask of the Betrayer is that 3rd edition Dungeons & Dragons, which Neverwinter Nights 2 is based on, doesn't handle levels above 20 very well. It shows in this game, to the point where random barrels have 8,000 gold coins in them and god-killing magic is sold by common merchants. In retrospect, it would have been better to focus the original campaign on levels 1-15 and then to have this campaign bring characters the remainder of the way to 20th level. That said, a lot of people were clamoring from epic levels to be restored, and I'm sure lots of folks will look forward to building level 30 demigods.
Outside of a couple minor oddities in the story and my own general dislike for epic levels in Dungeons & Dragons, Mask of the Betrayer is a terrific and ultimately satisfying epic story. For anyone who has played through the original game, this expansion pack is well worth the time and money.
Great game. April 14, 2009

This is a great game. I loved the original and the expansion is just as good.
