Bioware is a name that has always been associated with quality games ever since they burst onto the scene with the Baldur’s Gate games and lighted a match under a genre that had stagnated.

It’s one thing to introduce a ground-breaking RPG. It’s another to follow up with great expansion packs.
While Atari and BioWare have introduced one of the most playable and compelling RPGs in years in the form of Neverwinter Nights, the first expansion pack, Shadows of Undrentide was a mildly disappointing follow-up title.

First we had Baldur’s Gate. Trademarks of this RPG was it’s quite (at least by that time’s standards) huge world, almost total freedom and a very refreshing way to create a RPG with D&D rules integrated.

I mentioned in my earlier review of Neverwinter Nights that it is a game best suited for multi-player, and I have to say that the Shadows of Undrentide expansion just drives that statement home further.

From the PC role playing giant, Bioware, comes the first expansion to its Neverwinter Nights series, Shadows of Undrentide. This expansion gives you pretty much an entirely new game to play, with a brand new 10 to 20 hour campaign, many new weapons and items, new spells and the ability to alter your henchmen's equipment.

Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentide is the first expansion pack to BioWare’s hit role-playing game from last summer, Neverwinter Nights. It contains new tilesets, creatures, player classes, spells, skills, feats, equipment -- and possibly a kitchen sink -- and all the new stuff is shown off in a new 20-hour campaign.

What better way to celebrate the one-year anniversary of one of the best RPG games of 2002 than with a brand new expansion pack released exactly one year later (to the day). Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentide is the first official expansion to the mega-hit Neverwinter Nights that has been going strong for more than a year thanks to some powerful editing tools and a very active mod community.

There is a place, far to the north, that lays the control and powers of the more civilized in the land. It is a region known as the Silver Marches, or the Savage Frontier. Those in the south consider it a land of barbarians and monsters.

From BioWare studios comes the first expansion to the hit computer RPG, Neverwinter Nights. Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentide (SoU) provides a whole new environment for adventurers to explore, including new tilesets, creatures, locations, and characters, all tied together with an immersive plot.

I enjoyed the single-player experience of Neverwinter Nights (NN) greatly. Though the depth promised by it modular editor and DM tools never produced the fluid multi-player role-playing it promised, the single-player game was tight and fun.

Faerun is an enduring fantasy world, loved by fans ever-hungry for more novels and games set amid its borders. While writers like R.A. Salvatore gave us memorable characters such as scimitar-wielding Drizzt Do'Urden, it wasn't until Bioware gave us Baldur's Gate that gamers got a top-quality invitation to the lands he calls home.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that the single-player campaign for the original Neverwinter Nights was quite possibly the most relentlessly bland RPG experience I've ever had. The story was boring and the characters were uninteresting and unsympathetic.

This is an expansion pack or an official campaign add-on for the game Neverwinter Nights (NWN) which was released a year ago. This means that you must have the original game installed before you can install this one.

A little over a year ago Bioware astounded gamers with its release of Neverwinter Nights, a successful marriage of modern technology and old-school Dungeons and Dragons.

Alles in allem gibt es an diesem Erweiterungsset wenig auszusetzen, aber auch nur wenig wirklich Herausragendes. Solide gemacht, aber man hätte durchaus mehr erwarten können. Die neue Kampagne ist zwar durchaus fesselnd, aber wie gesagt von der Story ein wenig fern des Originals. Außerdem gab es durch das beim Mutterspiel mitgelieferte Werkzeugset sicherlich genug selbstgemachte Kampagnen. Was mir wirklich sauer aufstößt, ist die Tatsache, dass dieses Add-On fast genauso viel kostet, wie das Originalspiel mittlerweile und dafür im Grunde nur den Pflichtteil leistet, den ein Add-On bringen sollte.

Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentide is the first expansion pack for Neverwinter Nights, one of the best RPGs ever made. Unlike the original game, Shadows of Undrentide was co-developed by BioWare and FloodGate Entertainment, a studio comprised of former Looking Glass Studios employees.

I’d just like to start this by saying a big thank you to Bioware and the NWN community for providing me with so many hours of enjoyment. I’ve honestly spent more time playing Neverwinter Nights than ANY OTHER GAME in the past 12 months, so it’s fair to say I’m a bit of an authority on the subject, not to mention the most suitable Alf to review this first official expansion pack.

NEVERWINTER NIGHTS WAS A game that caught the RPG world a little by surprise. Bioware was well renowned for producing strong single player epics that took the player directly into harms way to save the world.

Since it was first announced, the Shadows of Undrentide expansion pack for Neverwinter Nights has taken a lot of heat for its goofy name. Yes, it is vulnerable to fratboy tags like "Shadows of Underwear."

Wenn man sich anschaut, was dieses Add-on zu bieten hat, kommt man schnell zu dem Schluss, dass sich davon einige Vollpreis-Produkte eine dicke Scheibe abschneiden könnten. Die Einzelspieler-Kampagne ist nicht nur erfreulich umfangreich, sondern bietet sowohl inhaltlich als auch vom Setting her viel Abwechslung. Nicht unbedingt ein Muss für Fans, da es derweil zahlreiche kostenlose Add-ons seitens der Mod-Community gibt, aber verkehrt machen kann man damit auch nichts.

Aah Neverwinter Nights, certain memories come back when I think back of the release of this crpg. Longed for it for months, been in a guild and nestled in the community only to see that this game wasn't what I expected from it.

Es hat mich wieder gepackt, das Neverwinter Nights-Fieber. Für mich sind sowohl das Hauptprogramm als auch die Erweiterung hervorragende Spiele, die in keiner Sammlung, egal ob die eines Rollenspielfans oder nicht, fehlen sollten.

In some ways, Neverwinter Nights is the crowning achievement of nearly a decade of Dungeon & Dragons computer role-playing games that began with the SSI "gold box" series and continued with the Baldur's Gate franchise.

Die Jungs von Bioware bzw. Floodgate haben es tatsächlich geschafft, ein gleichzeitig stimmiges und packendes Addon zu entwickeln, das im Bezug auf die Story und dem Spielumfang den Vergleich zum Hauptspiel nicht wirklich scheuen muss und in Sachen Spiellänge so machen Vollpreistitel locker in die Tasche steckt.

Bioware dürfte jedes nennenswerte Manko des Hauptprogramms ausgebügelt haben. Der Schatten von Undernzit spielt sich wesentlich flotter, der Spieler ist näher am Geschehen und Textwüsten sind kaum noch zu entdecken. Die Begleitpersonen haben endlich eigene Meinungen, Wünsche und Hinweise für das weitere Fortkommen, und auch auf deren Inventar hat man nun Zugriff. Wegen der dichten Hintergrundgeschichte macht der Einzelspielermodus von Der Schatten von Undernzit in großen Teilen den Eindruck eines Adventures.

Kompliment an BioWare und vor allem FloodGate! Eine Erweiterung, die nicht nur spielerisch und optisch mehr Feinheiten als das Hauptprogramm bietet, sondern sich auch in Sachen Umfang und Story als komplett eigenständiger Titel etablieren kann, verdient Respekt. Rollenspieler dürfen sich nämlich nicht nur auf neue Klassen, Zauber, Monster & Co freuen, sondern auf lebendige Charaktere, klasse Dialoge und viel viel Wortwitz.

When Neverwinter Nights first appeared on the scene a year ago, we were all wildly impressed, but we didn't know the half of it. Every wannabe wizard and warrior picked up their virtual staves and longswords and solved the mystery of Neverwinter's terrible plague.

How do the words skeptical, hesitant and leery turn into enjoyment, surprise and refreshing?
When you are playing the latest expansion pack from BioWare for the award winning Neverwinter Nights PC game, that’s how!
After playing the original game I was skeptical of an expansion pack.

Even though it might be an expansion pack, Shadows of Undrentide has nothing to do with the town of Neverwinter or the previous game’s storyline. Undrentide begins within the frozen wilds of the Silver Marches, where you and a few other students seek out the wisdom of a wise and revered Master Drogan.

After Neverwinter Night's year-long reign as one of the top RPGs available on the PC, Bioware has released the first of two announced expansions under the name, Shadows of Undrentide. Already, the popularity of the expansion is enormous, having risen to the rank of Most Popular PC Game, a title it held for several weeks.

Rummaging through my precious collection of PC games, I found it hard to find something I'd consider worth playing more than once. Happily, my quest for any halfway decent game ended when I located Neverwinter Nights among my compilation, which was one of the rare games that managed to hold my attention for a long time.

Neverwinter Nights -- BioWare's first 3D role-playing game (RPG) that also allows users to create their own modules -- I made an esoteric Aristotelian analogy regarding the philosopher's stance on the old "chicken or egg" conundrum. I'll stick with a similarly abstruse theme in discussing Shadows of Undrentide, the first official expansion pack for Neverwinter Nights.

Long-time RPG trend-setters Bioware took the RPG world by storm last year with Neverwinter Nights, which not only provided a great gameplay experience, but also fed the would-be game developers of the world out there with the tools to make their very only digital D&D modules.

Shadows of Undrentide isn't the most epic or memorable RPG with BioWare's name on it, but it's got plenty of good, new content to satisfy most any Neverwinter Nights fan.
