But some of that love is missing from the single player. I prefer more open-ended gameplay than the linear story of Underdark, and it seems like all of BioWare's best storywriters were busy working on Star Wars: Knight of the Old Republic, because the dialogue options are more limited, choices seldom effect your alignment, and someone seems to have confused being evil with being a jerk.
So the best part of Hordes of the Underdark turns out not to be the new campaign, but the extensive online support and terrific response to its dedicated fan base. After anticipating the game and getting to play a new adventure, I get to anticipate all over again what the fans are going to do with all the new tools provided to them. Plus, I don't have to wait 2000 years.
