The second part of the tour dealt with some of the new content coming with DDO Unlimited. We ventured into Amrath, a dark and desolate place filled with lots of new baddies to fight. The actual zone starts as an incredibly vertical area, but thankfully falling off only results in the game teleporting you back and not your timely, clumsily earned death. Far off in the distance stood The Devil's Tower, an ominous black edifice slathered with a blood red glow. It was quite a sight; so very much so that several screenshots were taken for your benefit.

The Devil's Tower is where the new Amrath content culminates. Players will be raiding the evil structure, no doubt walking away with robust treasure and/or phat loot. I was quite curious what the inside looked like, but it was time to check out the new wilderness area that makes up much of Amrath.

...

As we fought, I was introduced to some very cool new content. Some of my favorite new additions are the summoned demon Hezrou, an entertaining crowd control spell and the new targeting system. Hezrou is both terrifying and disgustingly cute in more ways than one, so naturally I couldn't help but summon him as much as possible. Unfortunately, if the player who summoned him logs off while playing (or get's disconnected) Hezrou will eat whatever flesh is nearest, including that of other party members. Hezrou likes meat, you see -- keep that in mind.

Then there was a spell I really loved to watch. I like to call it the dancing spell, because makes your enemies dance -- complete with techno beat! No Turbine producers were harmed in the shooting of this image. At least, I'm fairly certain none of them were mentally harmed.
