HoTU - Worth Getting?

OB1 Kenobi · 07-15-2004, 06:04 AM

I have SoU already and was wondering if it was worth getting HoTU. Just curious as to what it adds to the game.

Well, HotU adds:

Epic levels-You can now level up to level 40.
New Prestige Classes: Dwarven Defender, Champion of Torm, Red Dragon Disciple, Shifter, Weapon Master and Palemaster.
Tons of new spells and feats.
New enemies like Beholders and Mindflayers.
New tilesets.
A new Official Campaign, and the best yet by far.

Doesn't the CEP only work for those that have HotU? The CEP is the best thing to ever happen to NWN.

I thought EfU was the best thing that had happened to NWN? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Someone stepping in

NWN - Neverwinter Nights, used for The Original Game as well as for The Game.
SoU - Shadows of Undrentide, the first expansion pack.
HotU - Hordes of the Underdark, the second expansion pack.
CEP - Community Expansion Pack, a compilation of a lot of custom content into a single hack pack.
EfU - Escape from Undermountain, Ziroc's module.

Incidentally, CEP works with all versions of NWN.

I think that HotU is the best game expansion that I have ever purchased. That includes ToB. Get it, by all means.

I'm not far into it, but I think it's much better than SOU or the OC.

Agree wholeheartedly. Much deeper storyline with well-thought out wequences. That adventure in the Library is one of the cleverest things I have ever played.
