Hm . . . I take it that is Halaster in the trailer . . . I will say this, I'm glad to see the last two premium modules take place in the Forgotten Realms. I was starting to think that the Forgotten Realms license was a burden to old Bioware. |

Well, according to people at Bioware, WOTC has made it known that they would prefer that all future Premium mods do take place in the FR. |

Well, making premium modules, that you pay for, with the Neverwinter Nights label on them, to me, makes about as much sense as putting out a Forgotten Realms hardcover sourcebook that details a completely different setting than the Forgotten Realms. |

At the very least, I love Waterdeep, so if this is done well, it should be a fun addition to the game. |

I could be wrong, but my understanding is that this is a randomized dungeon crawl (that changes each time you play) using the Undermountain name.
Images and memories of games like Gauntlet (or old PC games like Telenguard http://vjetnam.hopto.org/big/t/telenguard_-800b.gif) spring to mind.
Anyway, I am just wondering how much of an actual FR story if any there will be. |
Just My Thoughts Chyron :)

The genre is much older than Diablo: Roguelike.
EDIT: A discussion of trying to do something like that with NWN with someone else is what lead to my current Undermountain game, actually. |
