<a href="http://ve3d.ign.com/articles/news/39705/Neverwinter-Nights-2-Mysteries-of-Westgate-Intro-Movie">Voodoo Extreme has an intro movie</a> for the upcoming adventure pack for NWN2, Mysteries of Westgate:
<br>
<blockquote>Players must choose their allegiance in order to break the curse and ultimately uncover a plot that threatens Westgate itself. From the creators of the critically-acclaimed Neverwinter Nights module, Darkness over Daggerford, Neverwinter Nights 2: Mysteries of Westgate will feature a non-linear, open-ended single-player campaign with numerous side quests covering more than 15 hours of game play. Atari’s new Adventure Pack will also feature 3 new companions; an entirely new underground sewers tile set themed after the seedy underbelly of Westgate; a host of new monsters to do battle with, including some truly epic foes; an exciting new and original musical score; as well as thousands of new lines of professionally recorded dialogue.</blockquote>
<br>
Non-linear and open-ended sounds great, hopefully that is what the game delivers.

Decent looking intro, but I don't know why games hire such lousy narrators.

Im hoping this and the other expansion are good. Looking forward to this whenever it gets released.

Deja Vu. I think I've seen the intro before. Either way, it looks good. I'm not too sure about that copy protection Atari is cooking up for it though.

A story about a mask?

Hmmmm.....

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Probably worth the money.

The intro was released many months ago on IGN as well I believe.

It's kinda funny about the whole curse and mask thing. MotB and this were developed at the same time with no knowledge of what the other would contain. Except that Ossian had to change their setting because it was originally gonna play out in, yes... Rashemen. Heh.

Either way, I like the intro. I'll probably be buying this whenever it comes out. Think it'll only cost about $10, which I'm more than willing to pay if this turns out to be enjoyable.

Agreed about the narrator. They need to get the Icewind Dale guy to do this stuff.

David Ogden Stiers, simply the best narration of any game I've every played. Subsequent additions and the sequel suffered from his absence. Tony Jay was pretty good too.

To the right of the video it says that it's being released on the 25th. So just a couple of weeks to go.

 

[Starwars]

Keep in mind that prior reports say that it won't be released until 1.14. And 1.13 isn't out yet (though it shouldn't be long).

I suppose they could've changed it though so that it will be released after 1.13. But let me say that I really doubt this. We've seen plenty of release dates so far by various sites, none of which have been accurate.

 

[aboyd]

Fair enough.
