Voodoo Extreme has posted the intro video for Ossian Studio's NWN2 adventure pack, Mysteries of Westgate. You can view the streaming version here (http://ve3d.ign.com/articles/news/39705/Neverwinter-Nights-2-Mysteries-of-Westgate-Intro-Movie). It's well worth a look.

Absolutely identical to http://www.rpgwatch.com/show/newsbit?newsbit=8257

Also slightly ridiculous. The movie looks a cut-rate student project, from the Photoshop cloud filter backing the game's title to the ship's captain confirming to his lookout "Aye, I see her (Westgate)" after the ship has already docked.

Sorry folks--can't believe that's the same trailer from back in March-I thought it seemed a bit familiar, but I've looked at about eight hundred trailers since then. Might as well leave it up at this point for anyone who hasn't caught it yet.

While I didn't think the visuals were bad--especially the black and white stills--I was a bit disappointed with the writing--seemed generic almost to the point of being stilted. That line referenced from the ship captain in particular.

I liked it for the most part, but as with Daggerford I expect much better things *after* the movie ends ...
