''Neverwinter Nights 2: Mysteries of Westgate'' (''NWN2:MoW'') is an expansion pack for the role-playing video game ''Neverwinter Nights 2''. It was developed by Ossian Studios and published by Atari on April 29, 2009. The player creates a character and controls it, along with a group of three pre-designed companions, journeying through the game world. The gameplay is very similar to that of the base game. ''Mysteries of Westgate'' also includes new monsters, music, and other tools, which can be used by players to create their own ''Neverwinter Nights 2'' levels. The game takes place in the Forgotten Realms world, a ''Dungeons & Dragons'' campaign setting, in the area of Westgate. The player creates a character at the start of the game who finds a cursed mask belonging to the "Night Masks", a thieves' guild at war with two other organizations. The player chooses which of these other organizations to side with, and embarks on a quest to lift the mask's curse. ''Mysteries of Westgate'' was made after Ossian Studios' successful work on the 2006 expansion pack ''Darkness over Daggerford''. The game's release was delayed to April 2009, despite its completion in September 2007, because of digital rights management issues and coordination difficulties among the three companies involved. ''Mysteries of Westgate'' met with mixed reviews; the game's plot and small amount of spoken dialogue were criticized by reviewers, while its music and low price for overall content were praised. ==Gameplay== ''Mysteries of Westgate'' is a role-playing video game that is based on the fantasy role-playing game ''Dungeons & Dragons'', and uses the d20 System rules, which are based on determining the results of most tasks, such as attacks, by performing the equivalent of rolling a 20-sided die. The player begins the game by either importing their character from ''Neverwinter Nights 2'' or creating a new one that starts at character level 8.〔 Each character has a race (such as human or elf) and a class (such as fighter or wizard), which determine the character's main abilities. ''Mysteries of Westgate'' has gameplay similar to the original ''Neverwinter Nights 2'' and uses the same systems for gameplay elements, such as character levels, combat, and magic. The gameplay takes place primarily from an overhead perspective in a three-dimensional environment. The player moves and commands characters with the mouse. The game's designers estimate that ''Mysteries of Westgate'' contains over 15 hours of gameplay, part of which is provided by pursuing optional side quests unrelated to the main plot.〔 ''Mysteries of Westgate's'' campaign features content that does not appear in ''Neverwinter Nights 2'' or its other expansions, including four new monsters (such as the wererat and sea serpent-like quelzarn), a set of "sewer" terrain tiles, and new music, all of which is available to players for use in the creation of custom levels.〔〔 The pack includes over one hundred magic items, equipment which the character can use during the adventure.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Neverwinter Nights 2: Mysteries of Westgate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
