Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dark Jezter" data-source="post: 1255086" data-attributes="member: 1015">Okay, after two solid days of playing, I completed the new Neverwinter Nights expansion pack:  Hordes of the Underdark.NWN and its expansion packs seem to be getting better over time; the NWN original campaign was good, Shadows of Undrentide (the first expansion pack) was better, and Hordes of the Underdark is absolutely incredible.This latest expansion pack begins shortly after Shadows of Undrentide, and takes your character on a truly epic journey filled with plot twists, betrayals, and epic battles.  In Chapter 1 of the expansion pack, you travel through Undermountain, the most famous dungeon in Faerun.  In Chapter 2, you get to explore the underdark itself.  As for the third and final Chapter... well, I'm not going to spoil it, but let's just say that it contains lots of unexpected twists and turns.  Additionally, there are several different endings depending on choices you make as you progress through the adventure, giving this expansion pack lots of replayabilty.In this expansion pack, you'll be encountering dangerous new creatures such as drow, duergar, mind flayers, beholders, and the old D&D standby: The Gelatinous Cube.  You'll also go up against some truely powerful foes including (spoilers ahead) [spoiler]a dracolich, a demilich, and even the arch-devil Mephistopholes himself![/spoiler]To help you take on these challenges, this expansion pack has added the Epic Level Rules to the NWN engine, allowing your character to attain levels as high as 40 and take Epic Feats (when I completed the expansion pack, my character was a Fighter 21/Rogue 5).  The expansion pack also adds prestige classes from various suppliments, including the dwarven defender, weapon master, dragon disciple (red dragon only), divine champion, shifter, and pale master.Several old friends return in this expansion pack as henchmen, including Tomi Undergallows (halfling rogue/shadowdancer), Linu La'nareal (elf cleric), Daelan Red Tiger (half-orc barbarian), Sharwyn (human bard), and the always-enjoyable Deekin Scalesinger (kobold bard/dragon disciple).  Two brand-new henchmen include a female drow assassin and a male tiefling fighter.  You can also now have two henchmen instead of just one, which will make some of the epic-level enemies easier to take on.Overall, this expansion pack is a must-own if you are a NWN fan, and I have no regrets about buying it.So, has anybody else gotten it yet?</blockquote>
