Shadows of Undrentide possesses a story that is much more engulfing and interesting than found in the first Neverwinter Nights. While the original official campaign featured plot elements that fell somewhere between irrelevant and over-the-top, Shadows of Undrentide manages to maintain a level of pertinence that left me constantly anxious to advance the story. I am usually more than happy to take a break and enjoy the many sidequests that are available, but SoU kept me constantly curious for what plot twist might be thrown my way.
