Hordes of the underdark, second expansion pack of the hit neverwinter night's takes you though an epic journey, that takes place in forgotten realm's "waterdeep".The game pretty much follows the previous expansion and core game, don't expect anything totally different, although it is still worth the play. You can either play with a previously created character, or a totally new one, although if you create a new character expect to be a wee bit under lvled, you're automatically lvled to 15 if you create a new char, through the second expansion i got my character to atleast level 19. Anyways, once you set foot in the game, you come across familiar faces, such as daelan red tiger, tomi undergallows, sharwyn and so on. you come to water deep from your previous adventures whereever it may be ( undrentide most likely) and hired as a mercenary in a yawning portal inn, shortly before it's attacked by the drow ( evil elves that live underground) and pursue the reason why their attacking waterdeep. THe game has a few stability issues when many things are on the screen, which is to be expected as the other two previous games dealt with the same problem, which is techinically an engine problem, expect to crash in one point in the game. Unlike the previous neverwinter night's expansion and game itself, you now can hire one more mercenary, which makes the game alot more epic, as you tread through the underdark cutting your way through ogre's and all sorts of beast's. As to be expected, the characters you fought with, you learned about them, their story sucked you in, to one point, i wanted to continue playing the game just to figure out the rest of my comrade's story, it's just like playing a book. Anyways, i'll wrap this up, with, expect to see extremely in depth characters, and the return of one women in particular, which add's much to the game, hordes of the underdark does what it sets out to do, suck you in, that's why this game deserves the score of 8.6
