Hordes of the Underdark offers a wide variety of new options for character customization, and this article posted on GameSpy outlines many of the features such as new heads, portraits, wings and tails, robes, and new voice sets!

the eye patch, assortment of elven heads is cool....wonder what these tails are going to look like and if they will have animations/attack possibly?

Very cool stuff the new male heads seem much more realistic.
I'm quite impressed with how this XP appears to be adding a ton of options.
Looks like I will be spending about 5x as much time customizing as playing.  |

Has anyone heard, I assume these new heads/ voice sets, and robes will be available for the original NWN and SOU, much like the prestige classes in SOU.
Thanks. |

Those new heads are awesome! Now instead of spending all my time on one quest (NWN Chpt 3), I 'll be able to spend that extra time modifying. I can't wait till it comes out, and when it does, I'm gonna get it!:evillol: |

And I had almost given up all hope on Bioware listening on what the community/fans had to say. Shame on me! Finally some personality to the characters! Skies, four tilesets added, robes, tails and wings (?), new voices, changed camera, 40 levels to the character...mmm...I am gonna enjoy this expansion as much as I did the first time I played NWN...Let's hope it comes to Sweden as fast as it can then  Just one question: when does it come out in the US? Have a great life. |

Cool heads, nice wings, great portraits, exactly what we want in a NWN expansion! But my question to BioWare is this.....can the Customize Character screen be pulled up at any time, or only after you've leveled up? And will this feature be able to be used in SoU run online servers, like Arleah and Durgalbane?

I'm in love already! Now to start tearing the conflicting hakpaks out of my module and preparing for this awesome update. (Then recompiling 2da's, error checking, testing...isn't work fun?)
All in the name of tormenting players...

I'd heard about wings, but tails caught me by surprise. Were these mentioned before? Or is this a surprise to everybody else? I'm excited about them...Tiefers are going to be even more diverse now.

Personally, I'm wondering if the draconic wings are the only ones, or if... maybe, they have some celestial ones... |
