Why pay $9.99 when the original module is available for free as a download? I struggled a bit with this question before clicking the buy button. After playing for about two hours, I can confidently say that I am really glad that I decided to buy this DLC. I've played the original and right off the bat, it is clear that there are improvements. About 75% of the dialogue is voiced now which adds considerably to the immersion. It is also clear that additional dialogue has been added. The companions feel more fleshed out. There are cosmetic improvements as well such as new portraits and making the most of the new tech improvements that Beamdog have implemented. The sky is beautiful and the colors really pop! Darkness at Daggerford is my favorite of all current DLC expansions including 'Hordes' and "Shadows" from the base edition. Modeled after 'Baldurs Gate', clocking in at 25 hours, this is a really solid adventure that offers the best of what NWN module creation is capable of (including an overland travel map). It's classic D&D in a computer game at its finest without feeling like a massive time commitment. I love the smaller scale of the adventure - it feels like a mini tabletop campaign played over a few weeks. I am very happy to support the developers too because of what happened with Atari screwing them over right before it was completed. Its time that they are paid for their work and to pave the way for future DLC creation for NWN!
