The latest Mysteries of Westgate Spot light from Ossian Studios comes in the form of a travel log. Rinara’s Travel Guide offers players a hard look at the seedy underbelly of Westgate.
So… you’re going to Westgate. As a former resident in poor standing, I know the city well. If you’ve come this far, you’ve probably learned a thing or two about it from sages and scholars. Unfortunately, none of that will serve you when you’re floating facedown in the sewers. What all those detached observers don’t tell you is that the city is as greedy, dangerous, and quirky as the unpronounceable wyrm’s name upon whose lair it was founded. If you want to survive Westgate, you could use some advice from a woman who’s lived in its shadow and seen how it swallows up its prey
This first person perspective is a refreshing change from the usual spotlight pieces on the first Adventure Pack for BioWare’s Neverwinter Nights 2. The spotlight pieces Ossian Studios has put out so far have got me excited to play the game. The studio has put a lot of work into the back story for Westgate which is an essential for a good RPG in my opinion. Mysteries of Westgate promises to be a worthy successor to the Darkness Over Daggerford NwN mod.
