Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer E3 Preview

IGN PC had the chance to take a closer look at Obsidian’s Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer expansion pack during this week’s E3 Media & Business Summit.

Of the added races, we got a look at the Ginosi. These half elemental and half human beings come in various nature inspired variants. The water Ginosi can have tentacles for hair and a wet, shiny skin. The fire Ginosi, meanwhile, has a charcoal colored skin and animated, fiery hair. We were given a quick look at some new classes on the character creation screen. The Favored Soul and Spirit Shaman are two of them, both of which have magical powers they can repeatedly cast before resting (similar to a Sorcerer). The Favored Soul is similar to a Cleric and, as they level, get better with the weapon their deity favors. The Spirit Shaman can turn undead and even transform themselves into an undead. The Red Wizard of Fay class is also playable, a sect of scheming wizards. They like to wear red.
