BioWare estimates that the expansion will offer about 20 new hours of gameplay. That's definitely much less than the 60-plus hours of playtime you could get with the original, but it's a sizable new adventure nonetheless. It definitely starts off much faster, which should help you feel as though you're getting more adventuring done, right from the start, than in the original game. Though you'll begin the game by pursuing those evil, evil kobolds to avenge your mentor, once you get started on your journey, you'll discover a host of side quests and new characters. And considering that the starting quest in the original Neverwinter Nights--finding a cure for a plague--led into a much larger quest to defeat an evil empire, it's entirely possible that both your starting quest and your quest to recover the stolen artifacts may lead to a much more epic quest later on. We'll just have to wait until June to see what twists and turns await us in the latest chapter of the Neverwinter Nights saga. From what we've experienced with the version we played, it seems safe to say that another great adventure is just around the corner.
