    Here are today's Neverwinter Nights forum highlights. Please take into account that these are only single parts of various threads and should not be taken out of context. Bear in mind also that the posts presented here are copied as-is, and that any bad spelling and grammar does not get corrected on our end.

    HotU: Hordes will add 6 new prestige classes to your game (Dwarven Defender, Pale Master, Red Dragon Disciple, Shifter, Weapon Master, Champion of Torm). It will allow you to take any of the old NWN classes into Epic Levels, as well as any of the new prestige classes. If you own SoU, you also can play with all the classes added in SoU and you can take Epic Levels in the Arcane Archer, Black Guard, Assassin and the Shadow Dance prestige classes. People who do not own SoU can not choose any of these classes. Also, keep in mind that the story in Hordes of the Underdark is a direct sequel to the story in Shadows of Undrentide, so while it is not neccessary to have played through Shadows, it is really recommended.

    You can be sure that huge selling features from SoU like the Tilesets will not be included in Hordes. Henchman Inventory Access will be in Hordes, after all it would make no sense to leave out features that allow for better Henchmen control just because they were in SoU, especially since you can have multiple henchmen in Hordes. Apart from that, things are still worked out (or I don't know what was decided for them).

    Epic PvP: Given the high number of different options epic levels offer to characters, I think there is not real answer to this question. Certainly, if you are, lets say, ambushed in PvP , the chances of survival are pretty low, unless your character has been built to endure a lot of damage. A "prepared" epic spellcaster has the potential of laying waste to whole villages within two of three roundds, but likewise a weapon master, fighter or barbarian will probably slay an "unprepared" wizard before he can use his powerful epic spells - if they can surprise him. Epic PvP is a lot about getting the enemy to fight you on your ground, your rules-
