Tags: Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentide

There's a <A href="http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/neverwinternightssou/preview_6026697.html">preview</a> over at <A href="http://www.gamespot.com/">GameSpot</a> covering the <A href="http://nwn.bioware.com/shadows/">Shadows of Undrentide</a> expansion pack for <A href="http://nwn.bioware.com">Neverwinter Nights</a>. It's three pages long and jam-packed with lots of things you've probably seen before, but would like to see again. Like this:
<br>
<br>
<blockquote>Neverwinter Nights offered the first implementation of the 3rd Edition D&D rules, including that system's open-ended character development, heroic feats, skills, and lots of spells. In Shadows of Undrentide, the rules have been expanded to include more 3rd Edition goodies, such as prestige classes and more feats, spells, and monsters. Prestige classes are special classes that you have to work your way into. Many have prerequisites you must meet before you can enter them, but they offer lots of intriguing special abilities you won't find in the core classes of fighter, barbarian, wizard, cleric, and so forth. The expansion will offer five new prestige classes: the arcane archer, the assassin, the blackguard, the shadow dancer, and the Harper scout. </blockquote>

Actually, it was <a href="http://www.poolofradiance.com">Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor</a> that offered the first implimentation.

Once again with the Arcane Archer. I just want to add something here. It's not so much the free death arrows that bug me. It's not. What really gets my goat is the fact that every single arrow fired by an Arcane Archer that wouldn't otherwise be magical automatically and at no cost whatsoever gains a magical enhancement of +1 to +5, depending on the Arcane Archer level. As soon as you take even one Arcane Archer level, you can no longer fire non-magical arrows.

And on the topic of GameSpot, I hate their new redesign. It's totally useless if you actually want to find anything.
