NWN2: Mask of the Betrayer - Review @ Crispy Gamer

Sorcerer's Place posts a link to games site Crispy Gamers' review of Obsidians NWN2: Mask of the Betrayer. The site's scoring system has three options, Try it, Buy it, or Fry it--and recommends 'Buy It' for this one:

  Obsidian's Neverwinter Nights 2 was a sprawling story whose wonderfully grand moments were undermined by some major technical issues: a fussy camera, poor interface choices and curiously inept patching to name three. The promise of new mods and adventures via the toolset never quite materialized because of the steep learning curve and broken Dungeon Master tools. It was still a great adventure with rich characters and certainly good enough to earn an expansion. With a new version of Dungeons & Dragons on its way, Mask of the Betrayer will probably be the final computer translation of the 3rd Edition rules...

Many of the technical problems of the core game have been worked out. Drag select works as it should and the camera is less annoying. Packrats will appreciate the new "sort loot" button on your inventory screen. It neatly arranges your treasure by type; a handy tool when you run into a hoard...

...Because you have epic characters, some battles are over fairly quickly. Spell spam litters your screen with special effects until only your guys are left standing. But you'll run into the other extreme, as well...The variation in challenges gives the feeling that you are leading a powerful party, but that other more powerful things exist. Even superheroes need to feel vulnerable.
