NWN 2: MotB Review at Hooked Gamers

Beginning with the title "Not a Huge Fan of Role-Playing Games", Hooked Gamers editors were favorably and surprisingly pleased with MotB. Overall MotB earned an 8/10 with "replayablity" being given an anemic 6/10. Still, everything else scored well.

Overall, Betrayer seems a much darker, more adult game than Neverwinter Nights 2. There are more puzzles to be solved along with the action packed fighting. The humour of the original (mostly provided by Khelgar) has been diminished, whilst the spirit hunger mechanic further darkens the fell of the game. The visuals and audio have continued the high quality of the original whilst the RPG elements have largely remained the same. If you loved (and completed) Neverwinter Nights 2, then I urge you to look at getting your hands on this expansion. If you haven't played Neverwinter Nights 2, then now would be a good time to start. You'll need a copy of it to play Betrayer anyway. For me, if the quality of RPGs continue along the lines set by Betrayer, Oblivion and the like, I'll be an RPG devotee in no time.
