NWN2: Mask of the Betrayer Community Update #3

Neverwinter Nights 2 community manager Shane DeFreest stopped by the official forums to post a third community update for the game’s upcoming Mask of the Betrayer expansion pack.

So we had hoped to get this information out sooner but due to some logistics we didn’t want to announce it to the community until we had all of our ducks in a row so to speak.

Obsidan will be doing two special Mask of the Betrayer presentations this weekend at AKON in Dallas Texas. This will be the first time that we show of the expansion in considerable detail to the public. So for anyone in or around the Dallas area we’d love to see you there.

The AKON Presentations will be conducted by NWN2 Lead Designer Josh Sawyer, and Mask of the Betrayer Programmer Andrew Woo.

Information on the presentations are as follows:
Friday June 1st 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm Adams Mark Hotel
Sunday June 3rd 1:00 pm 2:00 pm Adams Mark Hotel

Full details on AKON can be found at http://a-kon.com/

Now as for the remainder of the setting questions for this month:

1)Will some of the missing creatures from the original campaign, and new creatures from Rasheman be added?

Answer: We are adding many new creatures, both to bolster the options for the mod community and to correctly portray the inhabitants of Rashemen.

2) How much of a cultural shock will our PC experience? Will it be so different that he may actually *go crazy*? As Dracula says “Our ways are not your ways…”. Will he fall of the straight and narrow road into dark temptation? Will paladins, so far away from anything they know become Blackguards at last?

Sorry, that would be telling. Lets just say that there will be unique challenges that your character will experience.

3) Will Liriel Beanre make an appearance?

Nope, sorry.

More to come…

Enjoy!
