Neverwinter Nights 2: NWN 2: MotB Review at Gaming Heaven

A new review of Mask of the Betrayer has turned up at Gaming Heaven. Scoring MotB an overall 80/100, the editors assigned it an "editor's choice award".

Here's a bit of what was said:

In line with this more serious approach the characters you meet in the game usually have a darker background and as such make digging their past up that much more compelling. Replacing the brawling dwarf, self-absorbed sorcerer and other stereotypical party members from before, MotB introduces fallen celestial beings, wizards with a troubled past and (on a lighter note) even colorful animal spirits. Each of them comes with a unique background and I personally found some of their quest-lines even more intriguing than the main quest, which is saying a lot considering how well written the later is.

The writer really appreciates the expansion in a big way as witnessed by the conclusion:

There is actually not much more that can be said about MotB. If you liked NWN2 and want to play more of the same you should go for it. If you liked NWN2 but want something new, more polished you should also give MotB a try. Heck, even if you didn't like NWN2 but enjoyed the original NWN this expansion should strike home. In fact, the only people that should avoid MotB are those who hate RPGs and avoid them like the plague. But they probably aren't reading this review anyway.

Head over to read the rest. It's worth your time.
