I cant play it until I get another copy of NWN, as I uninstalled the game after I sold my copy on amazon, but it looks good. You can get up to level 40, and the Dragon Disciple, Weapon Master, and Dwarven Defender prestige classes look cool. It has loads of creatures set in the underdark (illithid, beholders, dryders, etc..)

Dragon Disciple sounds good.
I looked at the stats for it, and it looks to be the best prestige class in the game. You get armour bonus, ability bonus, breath weapon, extra hit points, (all of which increase as your level increases).
You can even get wings, and eventually turn into a half dragon (but its only available for sorcerers and bards 🙁)
I think it is better to play as a druid, the only class that has an exclusive Prestige class, that is the Shapeshifter, I can attest it's greath, in later levels you can even turn into a dragon yourself, but... you need a winsdom higher than 30... which is kinda dificult to get without sacrificing somethings...
I am alwalys a mage, i got both undrentide and hordes, i like the hordes of the underdark more but i don't like how either expansion has nothing to do with the origional other then you run into some of the characters from the first. Online rocks but peeps use editors to make themselves invincible basically too much.
When you choose the Dragon Disciple, you don't get as many spells during your leveling, so that's a downside. About the only downside.
Dwarven Defender is a good one too, that's only available to the Dwarves. Watching a DD level up is like watching your character gradually turn into an unbreakable wall. You have to sacrifice something though, to get your constitution high enough to do good.
I always used to be a fighter when I had the game previously (before I sold it).
I just got all 3 NWN titles in the last couple of days, and am starting HOTU as a created level 15 character. Im going to be using a sorcerer(9)/DragonDiciple(6) to start with, though its the first time i've played as a magic user before.
The dragon disciple looks so cool, you get dragon breath and wings and become a half dragon and stuff. I was going to become a dwarven defender, but chose against it.
