Neverwinter Nights 2
Narr:
Mask of the Betrayer is indeed pretty awesome. It's a TRUE role-playing game because YOU define the experience you get from the game. Want to be a murderous fuck-face? Go ahead. Want to save the world from a soul-consuming evil? Go ahead. Get a giant bear god on your team or even better yet sacrifice it's dead husk to house a bunch of dead spirits!
The NPCs you get to party with are just plain awesome, too. The writing for Gann is fantastic.
I am playing through it with two characters. One is my stormlord/soon-to-be weapon master chaotic evil bitch of a character, and the other is a stereotypical dumb barbarian half-orc. I'm having a lot of fun with the latter because I took 10 levels in frenzied berzerker so with the ice troll lodge buff you get for joining them, I do roughly 60 damage a hit when I rage.
That's THROUGH most damage reduction spells, too, as my axe is made of adamantium.

I think Gann was written by Chris Avellone, who was the main dude behind PS:T. Seeing as how Gann is a hagspawn, there are several references in his dialogue / sidequests to PS:T.
The rumor 'round the company boards is that they're working on another expansion set in Chult, which is, as far as I know, the Africa / Amazon of the D&D Forgotten Realms setting. So if that turns out to be true, it could be interesting.
Narr:
I thought the next NWN2 game to come out is going to be "Mysteries of Westgate." Is Westgate around Chult? I thought it was in the Silver Marches or something.

I didn't much like NWN2 when I got it, but that was because my computer was made from bark and twigs held together with luck and dreams. Now I have a decent PC and the game has been patched up a bit I may go back and revisit it and see if I enjoy it enough to get the expansion pack.

That's being done by another company, a company that seems to specialize in custom content for NWN games (I think they made Witch's Wake for NWN1?) Obsidian made MotB, and they'd be doing a Chult game. It's pure speculation at this point, as they're wrapped up in a couple of things for SEGA at the moment, most notably an Aliens RPG.
Consulting my FR Campaign book *pushes up glasses* Westgate is South of Cormyr and a ways East and a bit North of Baldur's Gate. According to the book, it's notable for being run by vampires. Chult is waaaaay South, it's a jungle continent that has a lot of dinosaurs and yuan-ti (snake people). There was actually a portion of Icewind Dale 2 set in Chult.

I think you'll find the expansion pack to be superior to the OC, actually. But even that's worth going through at least once.
