Strange Bedfellows

So I'm nearing the end of the original single-player Neverwinter Nights campaign and my intrepid heroes are traipsing around a fiery lair of fire-loving fire giants. What else do I find in this dungeon? Trolls. Lots of trolls. Say whaaaat? A fire giant stronghold seems like the last place you'd find hordes of trolls.

Horsing Around

It's been ages since I last played Neverwinter Nights, but I really don't recall paladins being able to summon a warhorse. Perhaps it's a feature that was added for the new Enhanced Edition? Anyway, I discovered this delightful fact the other day, and now this trusty creature is an integral member of my party. There's something very satisfying about summoning the horse inside of a small room packed with zombies and watching the horse destroy every last one of them with its hooves.

Perfect Timing

Last night I finished up Temple of Elemental Evil. It was kind of a lame finish because Zuggtmoy and her fungal friends spent the entire battle attacking my cleric's spiritual weapon rather than the party, so the characters just stood back and whittled her down with spells and wands. Anyway, it turned out to be perfect timing -- Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition has just been released!

ToEE

Maybe it's because I'm keenly awaiting the release of Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition, I'm playing through Temple of Elemental Evil again. Warts, bugs, and all, it's still a great game and a great D&D experience -- and this guy agrees with me!

Oh no...

Beamdog, you f#<&!^* bastards! There goes all my free time. Get ready for Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition.
