Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer Review

The Modesto Bee has posted a short review of Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer, though it reads more like a general overview than anything else.

There are even more prestige classes this time around. These special classes can be taken on once the conditions for one or more of them is met.

The new prestige classes include the sneaky and deadly Invisible Blade, the magic-boosting Arcane Scholar of Candlekeep, the lightning- and thunder-wielding Stormlord, the highly trained Sacred Fist and the Red Wizard, who specializes in a chosen field of magic.

These are in addition to the numerous prestige classes included in the original “Neverwinter Nights 2.” But it gets even more interesting. Certain prestige classes can be taken only by certain races no elf or human may don the armor of a Dwarven Defender, nor may a human or dwarf become an Arcane Archer, and the new Red Wizard class disallows all nonhumans.
