NWN2: Mask of the Betrayer - Review @ Jolt

Jolt uk has put up a favorable (8.6/10) review of Obsidian's NWN2 expansion, Mask of the Betrayer, commenting on its improved story elements, combat strategy and epic levels:

Neverwinter Nights 2 certainly built upon all that had been learned from previous releases, but once again it has taken an expansion pack to truly exploit the potential that the Aurora engine offers. Though some token new classes such as Red Wizards and Spirit Shamans, as well as the option of playing planetouched humanoids add an element of novelty and replayability to the game as a whole, Mask of the Betrayer focuses mainly on providing a really enjoyable new adventure...

...One thing that we really liked about this adventure is that it penalises you – sometimes quite heavily – for resting more than once per day, so if you’ve gotten into the habit of resting every five minutes to heal up or refresh spells, you’d better think again. By forcing you to think carefully about what spells you want to memorise and ration your resources, Mask of the Betrayer captures the core concept of realistic adventuring in Dungeons & Dragons much better than previous attempts have managed.
