A review of Storm of Zehir, the second expansion pack to Obsidian Entertainment's role-playing game Neverwinter Nights 2, which takes players to the jungle peninsula of Chult and allows them to manage a merchant company.

Storm of Zehir is perhaps the final expansion to Neverwinter Nights 2 but there's nothing valedictory about it. It's more of an introduction than a conclusion really, with broad new gameplay features and a story that serves as a prelude to a much larger tale in Dungeon & Dragon's Forgotten Realms setting. While it's heartening to know that Obsidian has future plans for the series and that they're willing to make bold changes to the series' formula, SoZ's innovation has a price and many of the NWN2's previous strengths are less evident here.
