    This expansion is the reason to buy Neverwinter Nights. An intriguing, tight little story dealing with one of the coolest bits of the Forgotten Realms, and an iconic NPC companion -- Deekin, the kobold bard. Short and sweet. Infinitely better than the original campaign for Neverwinter Nights, which isn't worth bothering with.

    SOU adds so many new feats and spells, along with the new PRCs (prestige classes), that it's like playing a whole new game. chapter 1 and the interlude of the SOU OC are really interesting; chapter 2 is somewhat boring hack and slash. playtime was short on highest difficulty, although longer for me than on the box - about 25-30 hours. overall i loved it and have never regretted the SOU adds so many new feats and spells, along with the new PRCs (prestige classes), that it's like playing a whole new game. chapter 1 and the interlude of the SOU OC are really interesting; chapter 2 is somewhat boring hack and slash. playtime was short on highest difficulty, although longer for me than on the box - about 25-30 hours. overall i loved it and have never regretted the paltry $30 i paid for it.

    Loved it. Much better than the original. I am so glad they didn't put in the loot crate on every corner and the new gear was very cool and creative. Also I really enjoyed the way that the 2nd act was brocken up into smaller parts. Definitely took away that dragging feeling I got in the original from it's longer acts. Love the prestige classes and feats added and can't wait Loved it. Much better than the original.

    Quite good. Original campaign was better than SoU, I think. It added a lot of models, however, and the addition of the feats and PrCs is nice. Sadly I feel this expansion will be forgotten, but it was good nonetheless.

  1. Enough new material to justify the price tag for fans, but not for dilettantes who haven't played Neverwinter Nights since completing it the first time around.
  2. Just keep in mind that this isn’t "Baldur’s Gate," that the focus of play is far removed from the tactical combat mechanics of yore, and that you’re mostly adventuring solo.
  3. The main fault of this title is that is not long enough.
