Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer Review

The editors at WorthPlaying bring us the latest review of Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer, giving Obsidian’s expansion pack an overall score of 8.1/10.

The module itself, as with the original campaign, helps to move focus past the technical foibles and back to the game itself. Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer is every bit as tightly written as the original, though it moves much faster and is a fair sight shorter. I do, however, like the characters, and it’s pretty awesome that your lead character can, in theory, be something completely horrific that you can embrace, if you feel the need. I’ve always been fond of wide-open forks in the plot, where a decision really does seem to have some impact on how the story unfolds. Mask of the Betrayer, as an extension of the original Neverwinter Nights 2 campaign, is a strong RPG and something any D&D fan should check out.
