While you can't expect it to rock the core of Neverwinter Nights, there are a couple additions that will surely keep players invested as never before in the Dungeons & Dragons universe. If not for creating more modules for online play alone, Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir is probably just what you need to get a good slice of D&D 4.0's lore, while sticking with the 3.5 rules.
The majority of the fiction from Storm of Zehir is ripped straight from the new 4.0 handbook. I can't claim to be savvy in all things D&D, but I've rolled my fair share of D20s to know that the rabbit hole goes about as deep as you want it to. In this latest expansion, Zehir is the god of poison, snakes, and darkness. Clearly, players can't expect to feel the warmest reception by such a deity--especially since you're out to save the world, not envelope it in some kind of terror-shroud."

Great day for the NWN2 mod Community.
Hopefully people will make the transition from NWN1 who didnt join us before!
Very true... I just have a problem with those huge polygons from the first now that I play nwn2 =P
NWN1 was still a great game! I put a lot of hours into it back in the day.
I've had a copy of Neverwinter Nights 2 signed by Obsidian dev team for a couple months now. /brag
I haven't played it, though. Maybe I'll try it out this weekend.

I'm not one of those people. I'd much rather champion a developer who tries new and interesting things but sometimes fails, rather than simply going along with a developer who clones ideas and succeeds. But something just seems to be wrong with Obsidian. They usually come up with good ideas, but can they actually develop games? Can they finish a project on time and without a plethora of bugs? Recent evidence suggests that the answer to these questions is "no," and Storm of Zehir, their latest expansion pack for Neverwinter Nights 2, is at best a black eye for them."
