Neverwinter Nights 2: NWN 2: MotB Review at RPG Codex

Ultra tough reviewers at RPG Codex have taken their pen to NWN 2: Mask of the Betrayer. They generally liked what they saw, which will come as a surprise to longtime readers. Here's a portion of what they said:

Well, what do you know? My hopes and prayers have been answered. Ironically, the savior is an expansion to Neverwinter Nights 2. While I had to force myself to play NWN2 (and still couldn't finish it due to a complete lack of interest in knowing what happens next), I couldn't stop playing Mask of the Betrayer and was completely immersed in the game. If only the original game was that good.

Here's a bit more...if four-letter words can be avoided....

To put it simply, the game is a masterpiece. Sure, it has flaws and things-that-should-have-been-done-better. Overall though, it's one of those rare games that people will remember for a long time and I definitely expect to see it on "top 10 RPGs" lists in the near future. It probably won't get any "RPG of the Year" awards from the mainstream media as such honours are reserved for awesome games like Halo 3 and cult classics like Oblivion: Fighter's Stronghold Expansion, so if you liked what I had to say about the game, go and buy it today.
