Just finished crimson tide of tehtyr, a popular neverwinter campaign made by the guy who made the tyrants of the moonsea and doom of icewind dale premium modules.
There's a huge army of orcs and goblins heading towards Tethyr and you sign up as a merc to join the campaign and defend the country. It does a pretty good job of making you feel a part of a bigger conflict. Its cool seeing the huge groups of soldiers gathered at camp or marching alongside you.
The writing is decent though pretty predictable wow the guy with the evil looking portrait and black armor is a traitor, what a surprise.
There's some nods to bg2 which is kind of cool, a lot of the campaign is your army defending Suldanessellar as its caught in between the two armies. It doesn't feel too nostalgia baity though, there's callbacks but its still its own story.
Gameplay was a bit too easy They throw too much op gear at you imo and the enemies don't really keep up other than a couple boss fights near the end. Anything with some fighter levels will prob have an easy time.
Overall it was a fun ride though nothing super amazing. It was worth the 15 or so hours it took to finish.
