mmhmmm....
Well, Chad got ahold of Shadows of Undrentide for me. It's the Neverwinter Nights expansion pack. It's all right I guess. Though I'm only still in Chapter one, it seems like a rehash of the original. I mean in the beginning your mentor is poisoned by kobolds and four artifacts are stolen from him. of course it's your job to find them. Let's compare this to the original. A plague hits Neverwinter and teh only source of the cure is stolen. Four mythical creatures are the only means to cure neverwinter, and of course it's your job to find them, along with taking up shitgobs of sidequests. The same holds true for SoU. It was great the first time, but it just seems like a rehash in a ifferent town. The graphics aren't upgraded and thew action is about the same. They added a few Prestige classes which are pretty cool, but it's just not enough to make it all that much of an incredible expansion. The Diablo 2 expansion only had two new classes, but it had an entirely new act that was pretty damn cool. It made it entirely worth picking up, especially with the pllay upgrades. Shadows of Undrentide just seems to fall short. Any of the modules you can download can give you the same experience. As a matter of fact, i've been playing through a pretty cool one called The Shadowlords. I think it rocks and it was free. That's just my two cents on the matter. It just seems like i could have downloaded a module and gotten the same experience as the company created "Expansion"
