Neverwinter Nights 2: Mysteries of Westgate (NWN2:MoW) is a computer role-playing game developed by Ossian Studios and published by Atari. It is an adventure pack for Neverwinter Nights 2. The game takes players to the Forgotten Realms locale of Westgate. The player will encounter the Night Masks, previously seen in The Cleric Quintet novels.[1]

[edit] Gameplay

The pack is currently slated to encompass between 8-15 hours of gameplay and includes new music, graphics, and voiceovers.

A summary of the plot states: "Set in the infamous Forgotten Realms city of Westgate, players find themselves in possession of a powerful but cursed treasure that threatens to destroy them. Linked to the underworld organization known as the Night Masks, the treasure will draw players into a city-spanning clash between warring factions. Players must choose their allegiance in order to break the curse and ultimately uncover a plot that threatens Westgate itself."

[edit] Release Controversy

Recently, it was revealed by Atari that development of Mysteries of Westgate had ended in late 2007, but the release of the pack was delayed due to a lack of a copy protection solution that met Atari's requirements. This produced many cries of outrage in the fan community.[1]
