February 27, 2008 - Known far and wide across the Forgotten Realms, Westgate is a major city located where the River Thunn flows into the Inner Sea. It’s home and headquarters to a number of very prosperous merchant families, each with its own warehouses and other facilities. Officially, it’s governed by a council on which they are all represented. However, there are those who feel the true power lies elsewhere, in the hands of a shadowy thieves guild that, by virtue of its assassins, agents and other assorted scoundrels, has extended its reach far beyond the municipality into a vast web of nefarious influence…..

On the audio front, Mysteries of Westgate has its own soundtrack with over 25 minutes of new music. That’s more than what we had back at BioWare on the Baldur’s Gate 2: Throne of Bhaal expansion pack. David John was the composer (he also wrote the music for the BioWare premium modules and Darkness over Daggerford), and he did a fantastic job in creating a slightly exotic flavour for the music for a city that is essentially the trading gateway between east and west. The game has also been partially voice-overed (not fully like NWN2 or Mask of the Betrayer), with most of the voice being put towards companions and major NPCs, and was recorded at the same studio with the same actors typically used by BioWare for its games.
