Game Daily has posted a preview of the upcoming NWN 2 sequel, Mask of the Betrayer. It's a very short preview with no new information but all news is good news.
The expansion integrates seamlessly with the original game. This may be an appealing option to players both new and old, as there will be new races and sub races, and even two new base classes to play from the start (and as an added perk, characters reaching level 30 can still gain feats and abilities). However, Obsidian has yet to name these new races and sub races.
Later down the road, the game will allow for some great prestige classes, including those from the expansion to NWN Hordes of the Underdark and some new ones like the Red Wizard of Thay.
New content and a whole new storyline will be very welcome additions, but Obsidian also plans to boost the visuals. Improvements to the shading engine, lighting and the game's general performance will come packed in.
Neverwinter Nights 2 was one of the best PC role-playing experiences in years, and more of it can't be a bad thing. Mask of the Betrayer arrives in stores before the end of the year, and GameDaily will post additional coverage in the future.
