Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir Unveiled
has news on Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir, an expansion for the
D&D RPG sequel that
Neverwinter Nights 2 Vault has confirmed with developer Obsidian
Entertainment. Word is: Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir hearkens
back to the days of the Baldur’s Gate and Icewind Dale franchises by including
full party customization, dungeon crawling, and free exploration of a non-linear
game world via an Overland Map. The gripping storyline foreshadows the events
that will take place in the Forgotten Realms with the coming of release this
June of the Fourth Edition of Dungeons & Dragons® Roleplaying Game.
In the aftermath of the defeat of the King of Shadows, the Sword Coast is in the
midst of an uneasy economic recovery. Trade syndicates have sprung up to exploit
the post-war confusion for their own ends. The players’ party will wade into
this uncertain environment; in order to increase their own fortunes, they can
either ally with a syndicate to create a trade empire, or cut their own path
through Faerûn by preying upon caravans and selling the goods on the black
market. As they attempt to extend their influence, players will become aware of
a new faction working behind the scenes: the evil, shapeshifting, serpentine
Yuan-Ti.
In addition to trading and economic manipulation, the Neverwinter Nights 2:
Storm of Zehir Overland Map allows players to explore the Chultan Peninsula and
Sword Coast in a non-linear manner never before seen in any of the Neverwinter
Nights games. Exploration will take players from well-known locations, like
Neverwinter and Crossroad Keep, to more exotic areas, such as the xenophobic
jungle nation of Samarach. Groups of highwaymen and monsters populate the
Overland Map and the farther from civilization the player roams, the more
difficult the encounters become. The 15-hour campaign in Neverwinter Nights 2:
Storm of Zehir is also packed with new classes, spells, creatures, and playable
races.
Fans of the compelling multiplayer features of Neverwinter Nights 2 will also be
able to take advantage of new improvements to the multiplayer experience, while
modders will be able to take advantage of the power and flexibility of the
Overland Map and Trading System features along with other world-building
enhancements.
Game Features:
· Travel the Sword Coast and Samarach
using the open ended exploration of the new Overland Map. Use skills like Spot
and Survival while on the Overland Map to avoid ambushes and even find hidden
locales and lost artifacts.
· Create your own full party of
adventurers. Devastate your foes with a squad of fireball-flinging Sorcerers,
form a solid wall of steel with a party of Fighters, or strike the perfect
balance in your party by spreading out the classes you choose for your
characters.
· Improved party gameplay including
streamlined party conversations, a new Teamwork Benefit System, and powerful
party feats.
· The world's economy reacts to your
adventures and choices. And, through trading and quests, you can expand your
merchant company into a massive trading empire.
