When you start the game, you can either pull in a character from a previous adventure, use a pre-made character or create a new one that will automatically be raised to level 15. This is an epic adventure for character level 15 and higher, so you can expect huge battles and plenty of heroic quests to fulfill. Luckily, Hordes of the Underdark doesn't suffer from the same problems, and reconfirms that Bioware is the premier Dungeons and Dragons videogame developer.Īs I said before, Shadows of Undrentide just didn't have an 'epic' feel, but that's something Hordes of the Underdark has in droves. Sure, Shadows of Undrentide was good, but it just wasn't as polished and epic as the original, and it didn't really add much to the game. I was personally a little disappointed with the first expansion, so I was wondering if Hordes of the Underdark could live up to the impact of Neverwinter Nights. Although the second expansion pack to Neverwinter Nights, Hordes of the Underdark is the first fully internal Bioware developed expansion for their popular D&D-based RPG (the first expansion, Shadows of Undrentide, was co-developed with FloodGate Entertainment).
Now Bioware has branched out into expansion pack development.
