Summary: NWN Expansion
Comment: This is a good expansion to the story of NWN. It definitely has some problems with pathing, but so did the first game. I did enjoy some of the newer features involving more control of henchmen and their equipment.

Summary: Great NWN expansion pack that could be a stand alone title!
Comment: I recently picked up the NWN Diamond pack, and was most interested in the Hordes of the Underdark expansion pack. I have been reading a lot of Forgotten Realms novels by Salvatore taking place in the underdark and wanted to take up a CRPG adventure in that same setting the realms. Oddly enough, I played this expansion pack before I played the orginal NWN or SoU! What is shocking, is that made absolutely no difference.
HoTU was a great experience from start to finish. Its a very involved D&D style rpg with real time fighing, which initially took some getting used to after having played mainly turn based rpg's in the past (ala Temple of Elemental Evil and Pool of Radiance 2). Once adapted, the different battle system became a refreshing change of pace compared to traditional turn based styles. There are multitudes of weapon, armor and accessory findings and combinations, which adds depth to the game. The graphics are excellent for this style of game and made good use of lighting and visual effects. Newer games will outshadow HoTU in the graphics dept, but this game isnt just about good looks. The gameplay is smooth, enjoyable and good ol rpg fun. The story is intense and keeps you playing to obtain objectives and work toward the goals. The designers and programmers did a good job of rendering the subterranean realm of the drow known as the underdark, far beneath the surface of Toril. There is also a portion of the game that takes place in Cania, the 8th level of hell. Also well done and well designed, I believe that segment to be of the most challenging ones in the game!
Often times main evil or "boss" fights in CRPG's can leave something to be desired. This was not the case in HoTU. The main battles were epic, and definitely proved entertaining and also challenging. I suppose my only complaint about the game is that you have virtually no control over your party members action and they act independently in combat for the most part. While this isn't necessarily a bad thing, its just different from what I am used to from my party based RPG past. Nonetheless, I have to say this was one of the most enjoyable rpg experiences I have had. I am looking forward to NWN2! Not to mention the other expansion packs I have yet to play in the Diamond pack. I would highly recommend this game!
