And now is an important time to mention that while a major selling point of Hordes of the Underdark has been the promise of epic levels -- a topic that will be covered later -- the epic storytelling of the game is also of note. Role-playing games make a habit of creating a setting in which you are the hero in a struggle of massive proportions. But the campaign of Hordes of the Underdark takes this formula a step further. I truly felt the immense magnitude and importance of my journey, an element which was key to creating the sought-after epic feel of the game.

Far exceeding the stories of the first two incarnations of the title, this second expansion tells a truly marvelous tale wrought with twists and turns that will keep even the most seasoned role-player guessing.

Along with massive improvements to the storyline come incredible advances in gameplay, as well. With the addition of six new prestige classes, epic levels, and sixteen epic creatures, Hordes of the Underdark certainly features a challenge never before found in Neverwinter Nights​
