Neverwinter Nights 2: Mysteries of Westgate

A great Adventure Pack, and it is an easy campaign to do and level fast.

Perfect ratio of fight and talk makes this new Neverwinter add-on a must have for all RPG fans. Seek no innovations here, Westgate offers nothing but believable living worlds, free of all fantasy clichés. [July 2009]

Ossian brought many genre clichés to Westgate, be it a treasure hunt, a theft investigation, inevitable gladiatorial fights, dialogue-driven quests, or a drinking contest, but twisted them in unexpected ways. Those who take their time to explore each nook and cranny of Westgate will enjoy lots of adventures.

It’s not a third expansion, just a well done mini-campaign. The adventure takes place in busy Westgate and some smaller areas, there is no world outside of the city walls. There are a lot of things to do, weird characters to meet and dialogues which even surpass the quality of the main game from time to time.

If you have played Storm, and don’t mind the slightly dated stylings of this game, you should still find yourself entertained.

It has some good plot points and character development. But the story's shortcomings show the trials a young studio endures as it learns to craft a tale.

Technically a step backwards, but solid enough to scratch the itch of those desperate for another Neverwinter night. [Aug 2009, p.82]
