The story has also changed formula and feels more original than the Shadows campaign; the plot revolves around the current queen of the Drow, the Valsharess. Her prophets have told her lil’ old you is gonna be not just a thorn in her side but the one her will defeat her. Not what the fetching Val’ wanted to hear, so she slays her prophets and vows to stop you. Of course, you’ve never met her but that’s all about to change.

The world of the Underdark is well-developed within the game and sets a good example for amateur game designers on how to use it to great effect. The story unfolds well as you progress through the game and is possibly the best plot to appear in any Neverwinter Nights game yet, (although I haven’t played through much of Witch’s Wake, the episodic adventure BioWare is releasing for free via the download/update utility, just yet).​
