Tags: Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of the UnderdarkJolt.co.uk have got their review of BioWare's Hordes of the Underdark. It scores a solid 84%.
Power. That's what people crave in an RPG. No wonder then, that the previous Neverwinter Nights expansion pack, Shadows of Undrentide, felt a bit of a let down. Sure, it added a new campaign and several prestige classes, but let's face it: anyone who has played a lot of RPGs - especially a lot of Dungeons & Dragons based RPGs - has probably gotten a bit fed up of having to trudge through the early levels, killing vermin or ragtag bandits, only to finish up before ever getting to the really interesting character levels. It's just not very epic.
Here's something more developers need to realise: you can make an RPG fun and challenging without getting all munchkiny.
