Neverwinter Nights 2: NWN 2 Community Blog Update: August 10, 2007

Rob McGinnis has updated the NWN 2 blog for the week. Along with some great features found at The Vault, he has included a fabulous section of music from Mask of the Betrayer.

Called "The Betrayer", here is what Rob said:

Many of you have been seeing me prattle on about how much I love the music for MoTB. Well, today you get your chance to hear for yourself.

This clip is the main theme from Mask of The Betrayer. Please right-click it and save the file to your hard drive before listening.

Alexander Brandon, our Audio Director, gives us a bit of insight into the theme:

The piece was written by Rik Schaffer of Womb Music, and I provided some additional instrumentation. It's intent was to communicate a darker more tribal feeling than the original Neverwinter Nights 2 theme. Rik combined percussion with strong thematic elements signifying the struggle between the player and [some of the darker themes in the game], and afterwards I mixed in the Neverwinter Nights 2 theme for a strong link to its predecessor.

You owe it to yourself to download and listen to this fabulous music. Right click the link and "copy shortcut" to save it to your computer.
