Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentide Hints

How do I start a new Shadows of Undrentide (SoU) game?

  • 1 of 6: The same way you always start a new game -- click on the "New" button on the game's main menu.
  • 2 of 6: Now that you have the SoU expansion pack installed, you'll get to choose what campaign to load. You can choose the original NWN to play it again, or you can choose the NWN Expansion Pack 1 (which is SoU).
  • 3 of 6: After choosing a starting chapter, you can either create a new character or use a pre-made one, just as in NWN.
  • 4 of 6: If you didn't export your level-20 finishing character from your NWN campaign yet, then load up your last saved game and choose "Save Character" from the game's options menu.
  • 5 of 6: Now you can import him in a new Shadows of Undrentide campaign with all his cool abilities and items, but note that 20 is still the max level achievable. If you want to be able to level up into a Prestige Class, you'll have to import a character that isn't at level 20 yet (or start a new one).
  • 6 of 6: If you want a great level-20 fighter loaded with terrific equipment, e-mail me at dunigase@yahoo.com and I'll send you his BIC file, which you'd then put in your "NWN\localvault" directory. Other level-20 endgame characters may become available later, so ask if you particularly want one. (Also, notify me if you have one to donate. I can't play all the way through the main NWN campaign with *every* character class in the near future.)
