Neverwinter Nights 2: Mysteries of Westgate Spotlight #11

As promised, the eleventh Neverwinter Nights 2: Mysteries of Westgate spotlight focuses entirely on Ossian’s recent press event.

…there were several things we noticed that may interest only us:

1. Of the seven attendees, the classes that were played were: 3 fighters, 1 barbarian, 1 paladin, 1 wizard, and 1 sorcerer. Melee-heavy to be sure, but none of the seven seemed to have that much trouble… and those that had the most trouble were actually the melee characters that had a (smash first and ask questions later) mentality.

2. Seven characters… With a game the size of NWN2, you’d think we’d have seven completely different looks, right? Well, without (copying) each other, Suzie and Dwight created identical twins down to the hair style and color, and no, they did not pick a pre-generated character! Eerie.

3. We’ve publicized that the game is about 15 hours long including sidequests, but we may have been a bit off. Michele proved that just getting out of the Harbor Loop after stepping off the ship (a distance of about 300 yards) can take two hours when you have the compulsive need to (click everything.)

4. Three of the four fans felt compelled to indulge the (dark side) by joining with the Ebon Claws right out of the gate. Only one Robert Stock basked in the glory of the Morninglord. On the other hand, two out of the three professionals traveled the virtuous path… I’ll let you draw your own conclusions, but I’m staying away from certain people!
