There's a sweet spot in Dungeons & Dragons around when a character hits level 7 that usually ends around 14. This is when characters start acquiring really cool powers, begin facing down more exotic monsters and get involved in adventures with a broader scope. At 14th level through 20th and beyond, though, character power levels start getting pretty extreme. Such characters are less adventurers than nascent gods whose every move can shake the campaign world to its core; when players can slaughter ancient dragons and credibly challenge the hordes of the Abyss, creating believable and challenging adventures is rather difficult. It's to Obsidian Entertainment's eternal credit that Mask of the Betrayer, the insanely ambitious expansion pack for Neverwinter Nights 2 that's built around such high-level content, is as enjoyable as it is. Unfortunately, some balance, design and technical issues keep it from walking with the Celestials.
Interested in adding signed copies of Planescape: Torment, System Shock 2, Anachronox, Fallout: New Vegas, Star Wars: KotOR II, Neverwinter Nights 2, Alpha Protocol, Freedom Force, and BioShock to your video game collection? Yeah, I am too.
NWN2 has been patched to 1.23, which has finally added a multiplayer file auto-downloader, and many other in-game fixes.

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.
In Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer, players are transported back to the Forgotten Realms shortly after the events detailed in the original Neverwinter Nights 2.
