Two Hordes of the Underdark Interviews

[GameBanshee News]

A pair of new interviews concerning BioWare's upcoming Hordes of the Underdark expansion for Neverwinter Nights are now available. The first is at Gamer's Pulse:

Q: With the release of this expanion will modders have access to new scripts and goodies to continue to add to the multitude of mods available?

A: Absolutely. Among the many improvements we’re making to the toolset, we’ve added some great new scripting commands, the ability to modify the fog clipping distance on areas, improved store functionality, and lots more. Module creators can take a look at what we’ve done in the campaign to try and incorporate some new things into their own modules, too.

And the second is at ToTheGame:

Q: There are six new classes Hordes will bring to the table. As of now only two have been released on BioWare’s site (Shifter and Weapon Master). How bout letting us in on some others… pretty please with a cherry on top

A: Darcy: The six new prestige classes that are included with Hordes of the Underdark are the Dwarven Defender, a mighty fighting class for Dwarf players; the Weapon Master, a class that focuses on developing great skill with a specific weapon; the Shifter, a person who can take the shape and abilities of a large range of animals and monsters; the Pale Master, a class that can control and take on abilities of the undead; and the Champion of Torm, which is a holy fighter for the god Torm. The sixth—and most unique—new prestige class is the Red Dragon Disciple. This class allows the player to take on some characteristics of a dragon. The can develop a breath weapon, natural armor, strength, and even grow wings like that of a Red Dragon.
