Action Trip: First of all, we would like to hear some details about the game's story.
Ferret Baudoin, Lead Designer: The story takes place a few years after the events of Hordes of the Underdark and centers on the city of Neverwinter and its surrounding regions. Early in the story the protagonist is charged with unearthing the secret of a mysterious artifact, and that quest attracts a great deal of unwanted attention. But an adventurer's life was never supposed to be easy.
Neverwinter Nights 2 starts off as a simple tale of adventure. But the elements of the story build upon themselves until the player finds themselves in the eye of the hurricane. We're trying to make the world feel alive, and it evolves with the story. The player isn't a passive bystander in this, and at many stages of the game the player's choices can have real ramifications.
