We saved the day and the diplomats are safe. War, for now, seems to be dying down, the renegades are dispersing, and the land of Guild Wars 2 is once again quiet. It’s unlikely to last, but it’s time to march on back towards Lion’s Arch and call in on your commander after a job well done. Why rush though, when there are so many things to try out between here and there? 
Games based on the Dungeons and Dragons IP tend to be at least passable (and occasionally fantastic) RPGs, and that’s what I was expecting from Neverwinter, from Cryptic and Perfect World Entertainment. Maybe there’d be an occasional glimpse of promise, a hint at something unusual that might be built upon in future content updates. I’m glad that what Neverwinter actually offered was something far beyond what I’d hoped for. This is a game that plays like some of the great PS2 RPGs (in the vein of The Summoner), but on a bigger multi-user scale. It’s also very, very addictive.
Last week we left things on something of a cliff hanger. Should we attack the renegades head-on or ambush them as they try to attack them? Although the end result will hopefully be the same – the end of the renegade and their leader, Ajax – the battle is going to be quite different. Do you have the strength to take them on on their home turf, or would you rather let them come to you and slowly whittle away at their health from afar?
